Three-dimensional Flow Structure Inside the Cavity of a Non-aerated Stepped Chute

Accurate friction factor estimation and better knowledge on stepped spillways and stepped revetments flow structure may allow safer design of hydraulic and coastal structures. In this study, an ADV Vectrino Profiler has been used to obtain dense observations of the three-dimensional flow structure occurring inside a cavity of 20 cm to 10 cm (length to height) for four flow cases. The obtained friction factors range from 0.090 to 0.172 with a strong (inverse) dependence on the Reynolds number. The displacement length also shows a reduction with increasing Reynolds number, which may indicate that the flow “feels” the cavity more at smaller streamwise velocities. Streamwise and normalwise velocities reveal both a turbulent boundary layer type of flow (main flow region) and a jet impact and recirculation inside of the cavity. Spanwise median velocities allowed insight on the uncertainty levels of the ADV Vectrino Profiler measurements

A few basic considerations on the method of finding the law - Einige Grundüberlegungen zur Methode der Rechtsfindung

The contribution attempts to illustrate why it is appropriate to speak of finding, re-cognising and application, or applying, of the law. Reservations have been articulated about this use of language as a consequence of ontologically sceptical assumptions, which raise doubts as to the level of reality contained in these terms. “Legal ontology” is used as a knock-down argument in certain pointed aspects of this scepticism. However, there is no reason to do so.Der Beitrag versucht zu verdeutlichen, warum es in Ordnung ist, von Rechtsfindung, Rechtserkenntnis und Rechtsanwendung zu sprechen. Bedenken gegenüber diesem Sprachgebrauch sind in der Folge ontologieskeptischer Annahmen artikuliert worden, die Zweifel am Realitätsgehalt der genannten Begriffe anmelden. „Rechtsontologie” wird in bestimmten Pointierungen dieser Skepsis als Knock-down-Argument eingesetzt. Dafür gibt es aber keinen Grund

New Approaches to Legal Methodology / Novas abordagens em metodologia jurídica

The topics of juridical everyday-business are relatively short lived and the commentary on this everyday-practice frequently runs behind. Following the rapid development of High-Court jurisdiction, especially at the EU-level, we notice a setting of methodological standards that cannot be comprehended by the guidelines of classical interpretation. As jurisprudence is a practical discipline and as legal practice has developed its own inner dynamics, the role of legal theory becomes a matter of increasing necessity. A discussão dos tópicos do dia-a-dia jurídico tem vida útil curta e os comentários sobre esse quotidiano são em grande parte perfunctórios. Seguindo o rápido desenvolvimento das competências dos Tribunais Superiores especialmente na esfera da União Européia pode-se notar um conjunto de balizas metodológicas que não podem ser compreendidas à luz das diretrizes das interpretações clássicas. A ciência do direito é uma disciplina essencialmente prática e como a prática jurídica desenvolveu sua própria dinâmica interna, o papel da teoria do direito se transforma numa questão de crescente necessidade

Three-dimensional Flow Structure Inside the Cavity of a Non-Aerated Stepped Chute

peer reviewedAccurate energy dissipation estimation and improved knowledge on stepped spillways and stepped revetments flow structure may allow safer design of hydraulic and coastal structures. In this study, an ADV Vectrino Profiler has been used to obtain dense observations of the three-dimensional flow structure occurring inside a cavity of 20 cm to 10 cm (length to height) for four flow cases.

The displacement length also shows a reduction with increasing Reynolds number, which may indicate that the flow “feels” the cavity more at smaller streamwise velocities. Streamwise and normalwise velocities reveal both a turbulent boundary layer type of flow (upper flow region) and a jet impact and recirculation inside of the cavity. Spanwise median velocities allowed insight on the uncertainty levels of the ADV Vectrino Profiler measurements
