Abstract
While the mass density current penetrates the stagnant fluid, a plunge point occurs. In this regard, the boundary of the dense fluid with ambient fluid is determined at the plunge point height. In this research, the hydraulic parameters of the dense flow and the bed slope of the stagnant fluid which have a significant effect on the plunge point have been investigated under the two turbulence models: the k- and the RNG at the Flow-3D model. To achieve the purpose of this research, a physical model was set up at the hydraulics laboratory of Shahid Chamran University (SCU), Ahwaz, Iran. Then, using the Flow-3D model with both the k- and the RNG turbulence model, the height of the plunge point was simulated according to the same experimental condition. Findings showed that the predicted depth under the RNG model is closer to the results of the physical model. For example, the k- and RNG model for the 12% slope can estimate the plunge point depth by 30% and 12.28% respectively more than the experimental data. However, for all the slopes, the k-e model can on average overestimate by 27% and RNG model 10.5% more than the results of experimental data. The statistical analysis showed that the RNG model predicts the plunge point depths with a satisfactory precision.

Abstract
In this research dense fluid discharge was experimentally investigated under the surface jet in the shallow acceptor. The investigated parameters were depth of the acceptor ambient, flow rate and the concentration of surface jet. In order to investigate the relationship between these parameters, a physical model experiments were performed in the hydraulic laboratory of Shahid Chamran University. The results showed that progressive length of the surface jet core is directly proportional to Froude number of fluid density, and is inversly proportional to fluid density concentration. Besides, the progressive length of the jet core increases with increasing the depth of the acceptor ambient. This length increase is due to the decrease of water surface tension. In average, increasing the depth of acceptor ambient twice, the progressive length will increase 38%, and its increasing three times, will increase progressive length of jet core 62%. Besides, in the relationship obtained for the progressive length of jet core R 2 is 0.94.

Abstract
Discharge of contaminants in the acceptor ambient has negative environmental impacts. Extremely shallow acceptor ambient conditions will have a significant impact on the diffusion of the contaminants flow. To achieve the effect of the hydraulic, geometric and environmental conditions of the contaminant flow in the acceptor ambient, an experimental model of surface draining was applied. The model consisted of a flume with 3.2 meters length, 0.6 meters width and 0.9 height. Accordingly, by considering three simple single drainers with the diameters of 1.2, 1.6 and 2.2 centimeters, a dense flow with 20, 40 and 60 g/L concentrations occurred in an acceptor ambient with H/d = 2. The results showed that equilibrium length was extremely decreased by increasing the concentrations; this was such that with increasing the concentration three times from 20 to 60 g/L, this length was decreased from 25 to 10. However, based on the results, it was found that the effect of the changes of the viscosity parameter over the relative length was significant, as its effect was high in all concentrations to 100; then it tended to become a constant value.. In this regard, the effect of changes in the surface tension parameters over the relative length was investigated; the results showed that this parameter was always effective in the extremely shallow acceptor ambient at all stages from the beginning to the end of the progress. It is important to note that this had a constant slope in all concentrations and surface tension had an effect on flow diffusion with a certain trend in all concentrations. In fact, surface tension in all concentrations reached to 5 after the equilibrium length and jet energy dissipation area.

Abstract
Lopac gates, with the benefits of easy installation, automation and the ability to pass sediments and floating objects, are among the new structures considered for water level regulation and flow control in the irrigation canals. Converting the shape of the gate from a rectangular one to an elliptical one allows the flow rate to be increased by the same water level. In the present study, the effect of the sudden transition on the discharge and energy dissipation of the elliptical-lopac gate (ELG) in the submerged flow conditions was evaluated in the laboratory. The results showed that the dimensionless discharge and energy dissipation of the ELG with sudden transition to channel width conditions was decreased by 28 to 86% and increased by 11 to 35%, respectively. Finally, the statistical equations were presented to estimate the dimensionless discharge and energy dissipation of ELG by sudden transition under submerged flow conditions with a maximum error of 16%.

Abstract
One of the structures for regulating the water level in the irrigation and drainage ducts is the lopac gates, which are proposed as a structure for regulating and controlling the flow level. In this study, a new design of this type of structure has been proposed in which the gates are placed next to each other in pairs, and they are called multiple lopac gates. The objective of this research is to investigate the effective hydraulic parameters of the proposed structure and compare it in a case where a gate is used under the same conditions. All the simulations were modeled with 3 amounts of opening 30, 45, and 60 degrees and at 3 flow rates of 20, 40, and 60 liters per second and using Flow3d software, in these simulations, the number of mesh cells is 1000000 and RNG turbulence model is used. The results showed that the maximum shear stress was reduced by an average of 38% compared to the single gate mode in most tests at different openings and flow rates using multiple lopac gates, and the largest amount of this reduction was related to the opening of 45 degrees, and the flow rate is 40 liters per second with a value of 76%. Also, the forces acting on the gate at different flow rates and openings will be reduced by 150% on average. In the qualitative investigation of flow vortices, the investigations also showed that vortex range, length, and strength are reduced compared to the single gate mode when two gates are used, and the number of vortices increases compared to when a single valve.

Abstract
The design of retaining walls depends on the amount of driving pressure from the backfill of the wall. Therefore, estimating this pressure is an essential factor in its design. In this research, the changes in the slope of failure, the place of the failure wedge, and the reduction of the failure line along the length and depth of the embankment were investigated on the retaining wall embankment reinforced with geotextile during ten tests in a laboratory study. The parameters under investigation in this article are the number of layers and the distances between the geotextile layers. The results showed that the presence of geotextile layers reduced the length of the fracture line up to 41%. It has also improved the value of the fracture angle and reduced the formation of the rupture wedge in the lower depths up to a maximum of 16%. The translational movement of the wall in the actuation state has a greater distinction between the fixed point and the failure zone, and the reinforcing layers are also effective in increasing the bearing capacity and stability of the retaining wall.

Abstract
Side weirs are hydraulic structures employed in irrigation and drainage channels as diversion devices or head regulators. The increasing efficiency of the structure of side weirs for constant head has been one of the concerns of researchers in the last decade. The use of different forms of sharp crest, labyrinth, piano key, and increasing the length of the overflow by changing the geometry of the crest have been investigated. In this research, a new type of triangular-shaped side weir has been studied in the laboratory under different hydraulic conditions in sub-critical flow conditions. The results demonstrated that by inclining the crests of the triangular side weir, the amount of vortex created at the entrance of the opening was reduced. So the discharge coefficient and the flow volume over the side weir showed an increase of up to 27% and 48%, respectively, compared to the normal triangular and rectangular side weirs. Also, after analyzing the data, a non-linear equation was presented to estimate the discharge coefficient with the dimensionless parameters of the ratio of the upstream depth to the weir height (y1/p) and the upstream Froud number (Fr1) with an accuracy of ±15% and NRMSE=0.134.
