Laboratory dataset for a locally fabricated flat Coanda-effect screen: 52 clear-water runs and model capacity predictions
收藏资源简介：
Laboratory dataset for a locally fabricated flat Coanda-effect screen Fifty-two clear-water runs on a flat Coanda-effect screen intake fabricated from locally available materials, with the measured capture compared against the predictions of the Coanda-effect screen analysis software distributed by the US Bureau of Reclamation. The screen panel carries 32 wedge wires machined from 8 mm square steel bar: wire width 7.6 mm, slot opening 0.8 mm, tilt angle 4.75°, effective width 0.18 m, length along the flow 0.273 m. It was tested in a 0.20 m glass-walled flume behind four interchangeable Ogee accelerator plates combining drop heights of 0.10 m and 0.15 m with screen tangency angles of 45° and 50°, over inflows from 2.24 L/s to 21.36 L/s. The inflow was determined from the head over the accelerator-plate crest and the captured discharge was gauged with a 60° V-notch thin-plate weir. The campaign was carried out in November 2014.

Reproduces the statistics reported in the paper from model_reruns_results.csv. Notes on precision and on the informative flag Q_in_crest_Ls and the measured heads carry three decimals; Q_R_weir_Ls is recorded to two decimals; Q_T_model_Ls and Q_bypass_model_Ls are the model output at its own reporting resolution of 0.1 L/s. Because of that, the identity Q<sub>in</sub> = Q<sub>T</sub> + Q<sub>bypass</sub> holds only to within about 0.1 L/s, and a reported bypass of 0.0 does not by itself mean that the model predicted full capture. The informative flag therefore follows the predicted capture rather than the reported bypass: a run is informative when |Q<sub>in</sub> − Q<sub>T</sub>| > 0.01 L/s, that is, when the model predicts that some of the inflow leaves the panel. Thirty-four of the 52 runs meet that criterion and are the basis of every agreement metric in the paper; in the remaining eighteen the model returns full capture, so predicted and measured capture coincide by mass conservation whatever the capture model does, and those runs test the gauging chain instead. A related but distinct count appears in the paper: nineteen runs captured the entire inflow physically, that is Q<sub>R</sub> = Q<sub>in</sub>. These are the runs used to cross-check the two gauging devices against each other. The two sets differ by one run, case B at 6.222 L/s, where the screen captured everything while the model predicts a bypass of about 0.02 L/s; that run is used in the cross-check and is also one of the 34 informative runs.
