Lower and upper bounds are formulated in terms of physically based flow constraints. Practical implementation is discussed, and its application is tested against data gathered from an open-channel flow over a stepped macroroughness surface. The method has proven to detect outliers occurring all over the distance range sampled by the Vectrino profiler and has shown to remain applicable out of the region of validity of the velocity gradient equation. Finally, a statistical analysis suggests that physically obtained bounds are asymptotically representative.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ValeroBung2015, author = {Valero, Daniel and Bung, Daniel Bernhard}, title = {Hybrid investigation of air transport processes in moderately sloped stepped spillway flows}, series = {E-proceedings of the 36th IAHR World Congress 28 June - 3 July, 2015, The Hague, the Netherlands}, booktitle = {E-proceedings of the 36th IAHR World Congress 28 June - 3 July, 2015, The Hague, the Netherlands}, organization = {IAHR World Congress <36, 2015, Den Haag>}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ValeroBung2016, author = {Valero, Daniel and Bung, Daniel Bernhard}, title = {Interfacial velocity estimation in highly aerated stepped spillway flows with a single tip fibre optical probe and Artificial Neural Networks}, series = {6th IAHR International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures, May 30th to June 1st 2016.

In this paper, a single tip fibre optical probe has been used to record high frequency (over 1 MHz) phase functions at different locations of a stepped spillway. These phase functions have been related to the interfacial velocities by means of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the measurements of a classical double tip conductivity probe. Special attention has been put to the input selection and the ANN dimensions. Finally, ANN have shown to be able to link the signal rising times and plateau shapes to the air-water interfacial velocity.}, language = {en} } @article{ValeroBung2016, author = {Valero, Daniel and Bung, Daniel Bernhard}, title = {Sensitivity of turbulent Schmidt number and turbulence model to simulations of jets in crossflow}, series = {Environmental Modelling and Software}, volume = {82}, journal = {Environmental Modelling and Software}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1364-8152 (electronic)}, doi = {10.1016/j.envsoft.2016.04.030}, pages = {218 -- 228}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Environmental discharges have been traditionally designed by means of cost-intensive and time-consuming experimental studies. Some extensively validated models based on an integral approach have been often employed for water quality problems, as recommended by USEPA (i.e.: CORMIX). In this study, FLOW-3D is employed for a full 3D RANS modelling of two turbulent jet-to-crossflow cases, including free surface jet impingement. Results are compared to both physical modelling and CORMIX to better assess model performance. Turbulence measurements have been collected for a better understanding of turbulent diffusion's parameter sensitivity. Although both studied models are generally able to reproduce jet trajectory, jet separation downstream of the impingement has been reproduced only by RANS modelling. Additionally, concentrations are better reproduced by FLOW-3D when the proper turbulent Schmidt number is used. This study provides a recommendation on the selection of the turbulence model and the turbulent Schmidt number for future outfall structures design studies.}, language = {en} } @article{ValeroBungCrookston2019, author = {Valero, D. and Bung, Daniel Bernhard and Crookston, B.

Therefore, an international study was conducted in which 20 different hydraulics laboratories from around the world built and tested two linear weirs (quarter-round and half-round crested weirs) of common geometry. The only unconstrained dimension was the weir length, which could be adjusted to match the width of the test flume. Participating laboratories used the instrumentation and data collection methodologies of their choosing for head and discharge measurements. The experimental results found significant variability in the discharge coefficients as a function of dimensionless upstream head, as well as in the head-discharge relationships (as much as 50\% in some cases). Potential sources contributing to the scatter may have included head meter instrumentation, flow meter instrumentation, approach flow length (flume length upstream of weir), head measurement location, nappe behavior, laboratory measurement methods and experimental setup, and the care and skill of the investigator (human error). Analyzing the data as a function of instrumentation types, approach length, and head measurement location did not provide any insight regarding the variations. Nappe behavior (e.g., aeration), which could be influenced by laboratory-specific conditions, varied among the datasets primarily for the half-round crested weir (about 20\%).}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StepkesZimmermannMuelleretal.2007, author = {Stepkes, Hermann and Zimmermann, J. and M{\"u}ller, Karsten and Siekmann, Marko and Pinnekamp, Josef}, title = {Economical rehabilitation of sewer systems by ground penetration radar investigations}, series = {Strategic asset management of water supply and wastewater infrastructures : invited papers from the 2nd IWA Leading Edge Conference on Strategic Asset Management (LESAM), Lisbon, October [17 - 19] 2007 / ed. by Helene Alegre and Maria do C{\´e}u Almeida}, booktitle = {Strategic asset management of water supply and wastewater infrastructures : invited papers from the 2nd IWA Leading Edge Conference on Strategic Asset Management (LESAM), Lisbon, October [17 - 19] 2007 / ed. by Helene Alegre and Maria do C{\´e}u Almeida}, publisher = {IWA Publ.}, address = {London}, isbn = {9781843391869}, pages = {501 -- 520}, year = {2007}, language = {en} }
