Gaps and Scope of Turbulence Study Near Piano Key Weir (PKW) (original) (raw)

Turbulence by its handiwork immeasurably enriches the lives of even those who cannot comprehend its mysteries. In turbulent flow the speed of the fluid at a point is continuously undergoing changes in both magnitude and direction. Flow parameters are complicated to envisage near any hydraulic structures like Piano Key Weir until small scale time fluctuating turbulent nature of flows is clearly understood. Theoretical analysis and prediction of turbulence has been problem of fluid dynamics due to random or chaotic nature of turbulence phenomena. Without the recognition of turbulence structure near any hydraulic structures like Piano Key Weir, it is impossible to properly understand the processes happening during the flow of water. Important issues regarding turbulence, development, methodology, gaps and scope for Piano Key Weir has been discussed in this paper.
