The entrainment envelope of dye-core vortices at submerged hydraulic intakes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Each winter in Canada, operational difficulties are encountered at various water works resulting from intake blockages caused by frazil ice entrainment. In a lake setting, frazil is a surface phenomenon, the strong downward current produced by a swirling flow, with an intake vortex present, provides a mechanism by which frazil is transported from the water surface to the submerged intake below. Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the entrainment envelope associated with swirling and non-swirling flows into submerged water intakes. Three-dimensional velocity measurements were made with an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. The results clearly show that the entrainment envelope for swirling flow is several times larger than that for non-swirling flow. This paper details, for a given set of conditions, the differences in the non-swirling and swirling flow entrainment envelopes and emphasizes the potential difficulties with frazil ice that vortices can cause at intakes.Key words: vortex, dye-core vortex, submerged hydraulic intake, entrainment envelope, three-dimensional velocity measurements, acoustic Doppler velocimeter.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
