The limits of movement and quantification of bedload amount for gravel-bed rivers
Roušar, Ladislav ; Matoušek, Václav (referee) ; Tůma, Antonín (referee) ; Veselý, Jaroslav (advisor)
Doctoral thesis in detail and comprehensively deals with mechanic of incipient bedload motion for gravel-bed rivers. This study based on theoretical knowledge, experimental researches, numerical models and field survey extends present knowledge concerning with incipient bedload motion and sediment transport at small relative height and hydraulically rough surface bed for turbulent unaerated free surface flow. Incipient bedload motion and sediment transport have been determined for homogeneous and inhomogeneous bed materials. For homogeneous bed material the velocity profiles have been described by different methods in near the bed. Further, hydraulic flow resistance has been evaluated. In the case of inhomogeneous bed material, static armouring and influence of surface layer sorting on hydraulic roughness have been investigated. The correctness of obtained knowledge has been confirmed on the object of nature-inspired river widening. Results shown, among others, that incipient bedload motion does not depend on relative height or final armouring of surface layer to what extend hydraulic roughness is influenced.

Stationary- and sliding beds in pipe flows of settling slurry
Matoušek, Václav ; Krupička, Jan ; Chára, Zdeněk
Investigations are discussed on the effect of stationary- and sliding beds on a behavior of settling slurry flows. Results are presented of our recent experiments with two fractions of ballotini in a 100-mm-pipe loop. Experimental work contained measurements of concentration profiles and velocity profiles. The experimental results for flows with stationary deposits are compared with predictions using our formulae for solids transport and bed friction in layered flows. CFD simulations are included to validate the velocityprofile measurements and to verify the bed roughness predictions in the flows with stationary beds. Furthermore, the measured velocity profiles are compared to profiles predicted using the log law of the wall with boundary shear velocities determined from the linear distribution of shear stress across the pipe flow. The approach is successful in the flow below the upper wall of the pipe but fails above the top of the deposit where the stress distribution is different as verified by the CFD simulation. The concept of the linear-distribution of shear stress is well applicable in flows with sliding beds. An example is given of a solution for a partially-stratified flow with sliding bed using the 1-D Stress- Distribution based Model.

Analysis of Shook-Gillies model using radiometrically measured concentration profiles in settling-slurry pipe
Pěník, Vojtěch ; Matoušek, Václav ; Krupička, Jan
In 1994, R.G. Gillies and C.A. Shook published their predictive model for concentration profiles in pipe flows of heterogeneous settling slurries. The model has not been validated in the literature yet. In this paper, the model is analysed and compared with own concentration profiles measured using a radiometic device presented at the last Symposium on Anemometry. The results show that key parameters of the model are insufficiently evaluated and their use in the model rather unclear. The model should be validated using a representative database of experimentally determined concentration profiles. On this base, the key parameters in the model should be specified in more details.

Further developements in radiometric method for measurement of slurry density distribution in pipe flow
Krupička, Jan ; Matoušek, Václav ; Pěník, Vojtěch
Laboratory test loop for slurry pipe experiments at the Institute of Hydrodynamics is equipped with two prototypes of radiometric devices which are in permanent evolution as well as the radiometric method of measurement and data processing. Effect of usage of collimated gamma-ray source on the spatial resolution of the radiometric method is studied in this article. Up to now, four differend versions of image reconstruction methods were used to evaluate concentration distribution in a pipe cross-section. Comparison of these methods is presented based on experimental data.
