Study on flow characteristics in vertical slot fishways ... Vertical slot fishway Numerical simulations Two-dimensional over depth-averaged model Slot the optimization Hydraulic model Velocity field a b s t r a c t Design of effective fishways is becoming increasingly important. This paper focuses on the effect of the angle of deflection ( ) between small and large baffles in a vertical slot ... Hydraulics of Vertical Slot Fishways | Journal of ... This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hydraulics of vertical slot fishways. Seven designs, including some conventional designs, were tested. A conceptual uniform flow state has been defined for which a linear relation has been found between the dimensionless flow rate and relative flow depth.

several vertical slot fishways built in France. The velocity scale is 1/2 and the discharge scale is 1/32. The width of the slot is b = 0.075 m. The vertical slot fishway model consists of five pools, L = 0.75 m long and H = 0.55 m deep (Figure 1). Figure 1 – Experimental device

opening between each pool (Figure 9.3). Width of the slot may vary, but is typically 1 to 1.25 feet. The advantage of vertical slots is that they can maintain favorable passage conditions over a much wider range of flow rates and tailwater or forebay water surface fluctuation. Energy is . Chapter 9 – Fishways Page 9-3 August 2009 Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics in The Design ... However, this configuration provided greater energy dissipation and reduction of velocities by up to 27%. Thus, modifications in nonstandard vertical slot fishways can be useful in future design or rehabilitation of existing structures in order to provide velocities and turbulence more friendly for a higher number of fish species. Fishways - NSW Department of Primary Industries Pool-type fishway (includes vertical slot fishway) Pool-type fishways were the first type to be developed and consist of a series of interconnected pools bypassing an obstruction. Many different types of pool fishways have been designed in Australia, however, the vertical-slot design is the only one which has proved effective with native fish. Field and numerical assessment of turning pool hydraulics in ...
