Abstract

A side or lateral weir can be defined as a longitudinal weir put in parallel to the main flow direction. A piano key side weir (PKSW) is one of the various side weirs used to control flow level, flow diversion, and flood harm prevention in dams and hydraulic systems. A side weir aims to keep the water level in the main channel at a specific level by discharging the overflow water into a side channel. The discharge coefficient of the PKSW was covered in this study by numerical modeling of a rectangular PKSW type B with various ratios of the crest length to the width in a straight channel. Results showed that the discharge coefficient of the PKSW was more affected by the L/W parameter when the other parameters were constant. It was noted that the PKSW discharge coefficient for L/W equal to 6 demonstrated a significantly higher level of performance and also found that increasing the upstream head above the side weir crest (h a/P) negatively affected the coefficient of discharge. It was concluded that a high capacity of the discharge coefficient required the (h a/P) ratio to be smaller than 0.75 or within the range (0.3 ≤ h a/P < 0.75).

1 Introduction

A piano key weir (PKW) is a particular type of labyrinth that is used to increase the discharge capacity in the low head in the main channel, while a piano key side weir (PKSW) is a type of side weir that is put in parallel to the main flow direction, i.e., it is placed in the side of the main channel with a specific angle. The PKSW is defined as a non-linear weir and has a discharge greater than that of a linear weir due to expanding in length and width. The basic geometry structure of PKSW is the same as PKW but it is not the same in a location. The objective of a PKSW is to keep the water level in the main channel at a specific level by discharging the overflow water into a side channel. It is often used in irrigation techniques, wastewater networks, and flood prevention precautions. The PKW is a modern kind of nonlinear control structure with a relatively small slope spillway.

The standard design model of the PKW is not available, and there are large numbers of geometric parameters affecting the head-discharge performance of the PKSW [1]. Large attention is given to PKWs as a type of dam because of flood control, drinking water requirements, and the ability to power hydroelectric and irrigation [2]. The formative shape of PKW is a simple rectangular layout; therefore, the figuration of a rectangular styling is identical to the keys of a piano, and from this similarity, the PKW was named. The zigzag shape of PKW supplies further length that leads to a rise in the discharge capacity without a rise in the zone of submergence of upstream of the dam. The construction of the PKW becomes easier because of the rectangular layout by using precast units [3].

In 1998, the prefatory studies of PKW began by the non-governmental organization “Hydrocoop” (France); however, the final design was not yet agreed upon, but the major principle of overhangs was included. Improvements and research were then performed in collaboration with the Biskra University (Algeria) till a basic paper about the subject was published in 2003 by F. Lempérière (from Hydrocoop) and A. Ouamane (from Biskra) to simplify and improve the performance of labyrinth-type weirs installed on the smaller spillway footprints. Since 2003, hundreds of studies have been implemented in France, Algeria, India, China, and Vietnam [4]. All these studies and research had the same practical goals. Depending on the layout model of overhangs in the upstream and downstream, there are four types of PKW (A, B, C, and D) suggested by Lempérière et al. [4] as shown in Figure 1.

There is a large set of geometric parameters that are included in PKW geometry, it seems as an assemblage of several elements [6] as shown in Figure 2.

There are relatively limited studies on PKSWs in the literature. One of the first studies to examine PKSW was conducted by Karimi et al. [7]. They studied the investigation and comparison of the free surface flow properties over PKSWs type C, rectangular labyrinth side weirs (RLSWs), and labyrinth side weirs (LSWs) in the straight channel. Results showed that PKSW and LSWs were more effective than equivalent linear side weirs. Mehri et al. [8] evaluated and analyzed a discharge coefficient of a PKSW type C, with specific descriptions at 30° and 120° portions of a channel with a longitudinal curvature. They found that both the discharge coefficient at 30° and 120° angles were influenced by the parameter P/h 1 of the PKSW, which increases with the increase in the discharge coefficient value. Seyedjavad et al. [9] studied the trapezoidal PKSW (TPKSW) type A in the straight channel. In this study, an empirical equation was used to calculate the coefficient of discharge of (TPKSW) type A. Also, Saghari et al. [10] focused on the impact of employing one or two cycles in the TPKSWs type A on the discharge coefficient at bend curvatures of 60°, 105°, and 150°, and the intake channels were orthogonal to the main channel. The study found that the C dL of the TPKSWs with one cycle was 1.4–2 times greater than that of the TPKSWs with two cycles. Karimi et al. [11] examined how the PKSWs performed through various key angles in the lab and with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. The results showed that the PKSW 30° has a higher discharge coefficient (C d) than the PKSW with other angles. Mehri et al. [12] compared the discharge coefficient of rectangular PKSWs (RPKSWs) with four types (A, B, C, and D) in the curved channel. The results show that, proposed an equation for each of A, B, C, and D type, and the P/h 1 ratio was the most effective parameter on the coefficient of discharge for all types of PKSWs. It was also found that the hydraulic performance of B type RPKSW was superior to that of other types at 120°. Kilic and Emiroglu [13] conducted an experimental investigation on the hydraulic properties of the TPKSW in straight channels, and evaluated the suitability of the De Marchi, Dominguez, and Schmidt methods by comparing the results obtained for TPKSW and generating a useful and reliable equation for TPKSW. The results showed that the discharge coefficient rose when the P/W ratio declined.

In the current study, a CFD technique by the Flow-3D software was utilized to simulate the hydraulic properties and discharge capacity of four PKSWs type B with various crest length-to-width ratios (L/W).

2 CFD modeling with Flow-3D software

This research solved the CFD problem using the Flow-3D software. With Flow-3D, engineers can view a variety of physical flow processes like microfluidics, hydropower, infrastructures, waves at sea, and many other industrial challenges. Therefore Flow-3D is a powerful and efficient simulation tool for CFD technology. Partial differential equations embody the conservation laws of momentum, energy, and mass govern fluid movement. These equations can be combined to form the Navier–Stoke equations [14]. A single nested mesh block, neighboring linked mesh blocks, or a combination of nested and linked mesh blocks can be used with Flow-3D, which uses an orthogonal coordinate system rather than a body-fitted one. Also, to locate obstacles, Flow-3D uses both a Fractional Area/Volume Obstacle Representation approach and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method [15] to determine the position of the free surface. The solutions from the numerical models in Flow-3D are typically used as checkpoints or physical model experiments before being used in real settings or calibrated using contrasts with field data [16].

3 Flow theory

The physical characteristics of this study take into account an incompressible, viscous fluid, with both the continuity and the momentum equations acting as the study’s governing equations. In the three-dimensional Cartesian (x, y, z) system, Flow-3D numerically solves the Navier–Stokes equations as a function of time (t) for the velocity components (u, v, w) and pressure in both compressible and incompressible forms [15]. The expressions of Naiver–stokes equations for the preservation of the mass continuity and momentum equations for this study with constant viscosity and density are, respectively, as follows [17]:

(1) u x + v y + w z = 0 ,

(2) ρ g x P x + μ 2 u x 2 + 2 u y 2 + 2 u z 2 = ρ u t ,

(3) ρ g y P y + μ 2 v x 2 + 2 v y 2 + 2 v z 2 = ρ v t ,

(4) ρ g z P z + μ 2 w x 2 + 2 w y 2 + 2 w z 2 = ρ w t ,

where µ is the coefficient of viscosity, ρ is the density of the fluid, P is the pressure, g i is the gravity in the Cartesian (x, y, z) system, (u, v, w) are the components of velocity in (x, y, z) Cartesian system, and t is the time.

4 Description of PKSW models

To confirm the effectiveness and predictability of the current numerical study, four models of PKSW type B are simulated in Flow-3D software, to investigate the effect of L/W parameter on the discharge coefficient of PKSW in this study. The PKSW models were designed within a 2.5 mm thickness of sidewall boundary using 3D drawings and formed the flat top crest on all edges. The main study channel was rectangular flume of 15 m length, 0.30 m width in the cross-section, and 0.45 m height [3]. The work section of the simulation is shown in Figure 3.

5 Numerical simulations set-up

By using the Flow-3D program, the CFD problem was solved. As a numerical method for locating and tracking the fluid’s free surface, this software uses the VOF method to simulate the flow phenomenon. A computational grid is created by separating the domain of the solution into cells, introducing a fractional volume function, which has a value of unity in cells that are full of fluid, zero in cells that are empty, and a value between 1 and 0 in cells that have a fluid-free surface [15].

For the simulation, only one fluid (water) was chosen, and a free surface or sharp interface was specified. 25 s was chosen as the finish time for all simulations for the models. Moreover, all simulations used the fluid characteristics at 20°C with SI units. In addition, the (k–e) turbulent model is the most popular choice since it is simple to solve, converges rather rapidly, and is based on recommendations in Flow Science [14]. All simulations were represented in three dimensions, so that this study used two mesh blocks, one for main channel and the other for the side channel with the model of PKSW. Starting with a relatively big mesh and gradually reducing it until the desired output no longer varies significantly with subsequent mesh size reductions is an efficient technique to discover the decisive mesh size, as shown in Figure 5.

One of the key components in the development and success of the simulation process was the cubic shape of the mesh cells in the blocks of Flow-3D software because mesh and cell size are fundamental elements of any simulation of a numerical model [18]. Therefore, in the present study, the mesh cells were selected as total cells for the mesh blocks to determine which cell size satisfies the phenomenon requirements of flowing in the PKSW. The total number of cells used in this study to best represent each of the PKSW models ranged between 700,000 and 1,600,000 as an option for the total number of cells. Figure 6 represents the comparison of the sensitivity of the total number of cells that it used.

6 Verification model

One of the main aims of this research is the verification between numerical and experimental results, and utilizing the data from the experiments that are offered by Karimi et al. [7], the numerical simulation was verified, through CFD modeling of the PKSW by the Flow-3D software. In the research chosen, the type of the PKSW is rectangular (RPKSW) type C and placed in the side channel that was orthogonal to the main channel. The dimensions of the tested PKSW are listed in Table 3. To achieve successful outcomes in a numerical simulation of the laboratory model, a two-mesh block format was used, with the cell size in the range of 0.001–0.002 mm in the two-mesh, and a time of 25 s required to reach a steady state. The time needed to obtain the results is 5 days.

7 The results of Flow-3D

The Flow-3D program was used in this study to run 20 simulation instances for 4 PKSWs with different L/W ratios (L/W = 3, 4, 5, and 6). As a consequence, depending on the chosen physics, number of cells, modeling time, etc., the time needed to obtain the results of the present research is approximately 1–3 days. Figures 1114 show the flow over the PKSWs with different L/W ratios.

8 Measurement of the discharge coefficient

Due to the spatially variable flow at the side weir, the flow conditions in the main channel are spatially variable flow with decreasing discharge [12]. As a function of weir length (q), the equation for the discharge flowing over the side weir is written as follows:

(6) q = d Q d x = d Q w d x = 2 3 C d 2 g ( y 1 P ) 1.5 ,

where Q is the discharge of the main channel, x is the distance from the starting of the side weir, Q w is the discharge over the side weir, C d is the main discharge coefficient, g is the acceleration of gravity, y 1 is the depth of flow at the upstream end of the side weir, P is the height of side weir, and (y 1P) represents the head of piezometric over the side weir.

By using Schmidt’s method [19], which is satisfied when the flow rate in the river regime has been reached and sustained, the discharge coefficient for the current study was calculated and assigned by the abbreviation C PW.

(7) Q w = C PW 2 3 2 g W h a 1.5 ,

(8) h a = 1 2 ( h 1 + h 2 ) ,

where W is the total width of PKSW, h a is defined as an average head of piezometric over the side weir, h 1 is the head of piezometric over the weir at the upstream end, and h 2 is the head of piezometric over the weir at the downstream end.

9 Effect of the hydraulic parameter (h a/P)

After completing the numerical tests and analyzing them to obtain the basic objectives of this research, the data generated from the Flow-3D software were analyzed on the four models of the PKSW type B and at several discharges (starting from about 30–45 l/s) in the main channel during free flow conditions. In this study, the great importance of the factor h a/P was taken into account in the discharge above the PKSW, and its importance comes from the fact that it represents the upstream head above the crest of the side weir. It is clear from the data in Figure 15 that increasing the head over the side weir has negative effects on the discharge coefficient (C pw). The behavior of the flow through the inlet, outlet, and side crests may provide an explanation for this. The ratio h a/P is measured in a range of around (0.322–1.477). In the vicinity of low h a/P values, roughly between 0.3 and 0.75, it appears that the discharge coefficient is reduced more quickly. The reduction becomes moderately reduced after this range. This suggests that only when h a/P is in the lower range (about less than 0.75), the geometrical characteristics may raise or reduce the discharge capacity significantly.

10 Effect of the crest length to the width of the PKSW (L/W)

In this research, four models of PKSW were tested with different ratios of crest length to the width of the PKSW (L/W), and it was shown by reviewing the results that L/W is a very important factor affecting the discharge coefficient. Figure 15 shows the results of the analysis of the four models, namely, B1(L/W = 4), B2(L/W = 3), B3(L/W = 5), and B4(L/W = 6).

The ratio L/W = 5, which fulfills the geometry proposed by Lempérière et al. [4], is used to determine the percentage change of C pw for this group of models in comparison to model B3. The data are in various h a/P ranges, as seen. Their various heights (P) provide an explanation for this. Figure 16 shows the relationship between the C pw and the head (h a).

                  pw and the head (h
                  a) for different L/W ratios of PKSW.
Figure 16

The relationship between the C pw and the head (h a) for different L/W ratios of PKSW.

After the comparison of the C pw of different models, the results as shown in Figure 15, the model B4 with L/W = 6 has the highest range of the discharge coefficient and is more efficient than model B3 (L/W = 5) by about 17–27%. While model B1 (L/W = 4) is less efficient than model B3 by about 20–22%. Also, model B2 (L/W = 3) is lesser in capacity compared with model B3 by about 45%. The L/W ratio had to be increased for type B and impacts only the low head ratio; therefore, when the head rises, there is increased submergence at the outlet key, which reduces the side weir performance [20].

Finally, it should be clear that L/W has a significant impact on the PKSW discharge capacity, which can increase to a maximum level if L/W is increased while the other parameters remain the same and the ratio (h a/P) is maintained at or below 0.75. This is due to an increase in the flow path of the PKSW, and this behavior is comparable to that of frontal configurations of piano keys and labyrinth weirs [7].

11 Conclusion

Since the CFD methodology was applied, Flow-3D’s capacity to represent the flow over the side weir has improved. This was found by numerically simulating the behavior of the flow rate going over the PKSW using settings in the Flow-3D software. In this research, numerical studies have been performed on four models of PKSW type B with different ratios of the crest length to the width (L/W) of PKSW, to determine the discharge coefficient. These ratios are L/W = 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The important results that could be obtained through this study are as follows:

  1. As a conclusion to the current study, it can be observed that L/W has a significant impact on the PKSW discharge capacity and can increase to a maximum level when all other parameters are held constant, this is caused by an increase in the PKSW’s flow path.

  2. When comparing the model (L/W = 5) to the other models, it was noted that the discharge coefficient was highest when (L/W = 6), because its efficiency was higher by about (17–27%).

  3. The two models L/W = 4 and L/W = 3 are lower by about (20–22%) and 45%, respectively.

  4. The effect of h a/P on the coefficient of discharge was also noted, it was found that increasing the h a/P negatively affects the coefficient of discharge.

  5. In order to obtain a high capacity for the discharge coefficient, the ratio (h a/P) is smaller than 0.75 or between the range (0.3 ≤ h a/P < 0.75).
