Flow features in a pooled fishway with V-shaped weir formation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A pooled fishway is an artificial structure to improve the river flow connectivity and facilitate fish migration. Its conventional layout is characterized by straight weirs and suffers from limited passage rate. To improve its flow behaviors, an alternative design, featuring a V-shaped weir arrangement, is devised. CFD simulations are performed to examine its effects on the flow conditions. The governing geometrical parameters include weir angling, height, and spacing. Depending on weir arm angle, the flow is directed towards either the channel’s central part or the sidewalls, leading to both across- and along-channel differences in flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. This offers conducive zones for multiple fish species with distinct swimming preferences. For a given location in a pool, the cross-sectional velocity exhibits a cosine-type variation; a relationship is established to predict the maximum longitudinal velocity. The pressure distribution exhibits a similar pattern, with high-pressure areas residing upstream of the weir. A power law describes the relationship between the energy dissipation rate and unit discharge with an exponent at approximately 2/3. With an increase in either weir spacing or height, the energy dissipation rate declines. A change in weir angle shows however a negligible influence on it.

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.
