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
