as schematically presented inFigure 4. We first considered measuring one flag approaching the tunnel wall, while varying the gap distance between the flag and the wall. Clearly, this configuration leads to a non-symmetric setup where the flag is close to a boundary from one side and free from...
When the gate was fully opened, waves continuously beat the gates and the bottom of the lock chamber with a regular “poof” sound, which may cause structure vibration and reduce its safe service life. Moreover, the vortices at the outlet further deteriorate the flow state in the inverted ...
