Submerged vanes have found a large number of applications in river hydraulic to control river bed morphology in different conditions and with different aims. Here an experimental and numerical study, describing the efficiency of vanes built using steel sheet-piling, is described. The employment of steel sheet piling vanes should simplify the construction of these structures, reducing their costs as well. In particular both in the experimental and numerical experiences the performances of steel sheet-piling vanes have been compared with those of the more usual thin thickness vanes. Both for steel sheet-piling vanes and thin thickness vanes the peculiar features of the hydrodynamic field have been also enhanced through numerical simulations.

Abstract
Submerged vanes have found a large number of applications in river hydraulic to control river bed morphology in different conditions and with different aims. Here an experimental and numerical study, describing the efficiency of vanes built using steel sheet-piling, is described. The employment of steel sheet piling vanes should simplify the construction of these structures, reducing their costs as well. In particular both in the experimental and numerical experiences the performances of steel sheet-piling vanes have been compared with those of the more usual thin thickness vanes. Both for steel sheet-piling vanes and thin thickness vanes the peculiar features of the hydrodynamic field have been also enhanced through numerical simulations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
