Evaluation of the method using portable measuring system with flow-meter
Štarhová, Marie ; Šafář,, Robert (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the assessment of flow measurement method using portable measuring set with the flowmeter used in the field of official measurement in the free surface profiles. This method is a controlled simulation of the required flow through a portable measurement set. This approach is innovative in relation to other methods of official measurement in which direct flow measurement is carried out. The thesis is based on extensive literary research related to elementary element of this assembly – flowmeter. On the basis of individual characteristics, the technical and metrological requirements for both the flowmeter and the other elements of the measuring set are processed. In the context of these findings and the requirements of the official measurement, input sources of measurement uncertainties are further defined and subsequently calculated by this assembly. The findings from this thesis are fully applicable to the practice of institution authorized for the official measurement of the subject method.

Assessment effects substandard tributaries flowing a proportion on Q/h characteristics thin-plate weir with a rectangular cutout
Šmidrkalová, Nina ; Šafář, Robert (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the problem of measuring flow, especially using the method of Q/H characteristics. It describes the thin-plate weir and mentions specific channels. The master´s thesis suggests options of monitoring flow capacity in fixed proffiles with free surface. The master´s thesis also includes an experiment, which is focused on simulation of substandard tributary flowing proportions before weirs for determining their effect on Q/H characteristcs. The experiment is carried out on a thin-plate weir with a rectangular notch at the Department of Water Structures at the Faculty of Civil Engeneering in Brno. Another part of the master´s thesis is data processing to get an idea about the impact of the phenomenon in real applications. Finally, options are recommended for follow-up research.

Time progression of metrological characteristics of electromagnetic current meters
Březina, Jiří ; Brázda, Martin (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This experimental diploma thesis investigates the changes in the metrological characteristics of the electromagnetic current meter of velocity. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a brief summary of technical and metrological characteristics of these types of devices. In addition, it describes the tested device, the test track, and the measurement procedure, which consists of two variants: long-term monitoring with a relatively regular monthly measurement interval and short-term monitoring with a regular daily measurement interval. The evaluation of the experimental work focuses on the repeatability and variability of the displayed point speed values and their stability over time. Furthermore, the parameters reported by the meter during long-term and short-term monitoring are compared to each other. The results are also compared with similar experiments.

The determination of minimal countercurrent distance of the water surface sensor from the thin-plate V-notch weir.
Kopečná, Monika ; Zubík, Pavel (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This thesis clarifies the issue of the measuring flows with the help of capacity measurement systems using Q/h characteristics and also describes measuring techniques for determining the water surface level. The various types of measuring weirs and their Q/h characteristics are described in detail. It also mentions the position of the installation of the sensor. The main task is to find a practical minimal countercurrent distance of the water surface sensors used in practice for use with a V-notch weir in the form of experimental measurements in the water management research laboratory at the Department of Water Structures Faculty of Civil Engineering in Brno. The weirs used for this experiment had top angle cutouts of 90°, 53°8´ and 28°4´. The obtained data is evaluated and subsequently the minimal countercurrent distance of the water surface sensor is determined. The thesis also includes recommendations for further research.

Experimental verification of flood hose bag functionality
Valdová, Klára ; Dráb, Aleš (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with functionality verification of one type of flood protection system. It is a large-volume hose bag Protex-K with the nominal diameter of 680 mm, which is supplied by the company KOEXPO OSTRAVA, joint stock company. The bag is made of polyethylene fabric and filled with cement and fly ash mixture, which is fed into the bag by means of screw pumps. The first part of the work is focused on the classification of flood barriers and their laboratory tests. The bag with the nominal diameter of 680 mm underwent the stability test, its discharge coefficient and specific leakage were determined. The volumic mass of the cement-flyash mixture was determined both in the dry and in the saturated condition. All these tests were performed in the laboratory of Water Management Research of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Brno University of Technology. The work also includes the data obtained by measuring, processed and presented in the tabular and graphical form.

Experimental verification of flood kidney three bag functionality
Požárová, Miroslava ; Dráb, Aleš (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the system of large-volume flood bags Protex - K manufactured by the company KOEXPRO OSTRAVA, joint stock company. The bags consist of polyethylene fabric filled with cement and fly ash mixture. The system enables creation of many shape modifications. One of them is the so-called triplet formed from three hose bags with the nominal diameter of 300 mm. The goal of the work was to verify functionality of this bag in one of the hydraulic troughs in the Laboratory of Water Management Research of Department of Water Structures of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology. To assess the functionality, the bag stability was tested with various water levels, and discharge coefficient and specific leakage per one standard meter of the bag was determined. The resulting discharge coefficient was compared with discharge coefficients of similarly shaped constructions. The work includes comparison of the flood bags with commonly used bags. Furthermore, the data obtained by measuring and processed in the tabular and graphical form are presented in the work.

Determination of Q / H characteristic of atypical measuring flume
Boháč, Daniel ; Zubík, Pavel (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with streamflow measurement with focus on measuring systems using the Q/H characteristic. The thesis includes the description of the commonly used measuring weirs and flumes. The main task of this thesis is a specific project of atypical measuring flume. This flume will become a part of a rigid weir and will measure the minimum residual flow rates. In the Laboratory of Water Management Research of the Institute of Water Structures of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology, the author has done extensive model research. In this research, various variants of the shapes and dimensions of the atypical measuring flume were analysed. The thesis also includes data processing of the said research and evaluation. The result of this work is the choice of the optimal variant of shapes and dimensions of atypical measuring flume and to determine its Q/H characteristic.
