Abstract: | <p> The thesis contains an experimental verification of a paper by D. G. Huber dealing with a solution to the problem of the irrotational motion of two fluid strata towards a line sink. Friction was assumed negligible in the theoretical analysis and, as a result, the experimental values deviated somewhat from the theoretical expectations. The largest deviation occurred at the point of incipient drawdown where the theoretical and experimental values of the Froude number differed by 48%. The trends obtained in the experiment verify the theoretical solution. The effect of viscosity at the point of incipient drawdown for two different interface height to width ratios was determined.</p> <p> The work of Harleman et al. in submerged sluice control was extended and showed that the Froude number of the lower layer at the point of incipient drawdown with high rates of flow was much larger than expected. The reason for the change was explained using the Khafagi-Hammad relationships.</p> |
