Potential flow solution for a free surface flow past a sudden slope change
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An analytical model was developed to calculate the pressure distribution in a free surface flow past a sudden change in channel slope. A conformal transformation technique was used to solve the problem analytically in a way that there is no need for trial and error to find the location of the free surface. Two methods were employed for this simulation: flow at a corner and free streamline theory. It was shown that free streamline theory is more accurate. Experiments were conducted to verify the ability of the analytical model to calculate the pressure distribution in a channel with a sudden change in slope. Slope changes of 6.22°, 10°, and 15° were tested with various flow discharges. The analytical model predictions of pressure distribution along the channel bed and with depth agreed well with the experimental measurements. Pressures up to 25 times the hydrostatic pressure were experimentally measured near the point of sudden change in slope. These pressures were reproduced by the model. The analytical model predictions of the water surface profile over a ramp in a prototype spillway were compared with those of a numerical model. The comparison showed a good agreement.Key words: pressure distribution, free surface flow, analytical model, chute spillway, aerator ramp, potential flow.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
