| Abstract | ||||
| The present paper shows an experimental study that was executed in order to investigate the efficiency of submerged vanes to minimize the sediment that entered the intake channel. Forty four experiments were carried out considering various vane heights, angles, and positions under different flow conditions. A case of flat floor without vanes is included to estimate the influence of using the submerged vanes technique. Obtained results were analyzed and graphically presented in order to determine the optimum vane characteristics | ||||
