Abstract

Some coastal infrastructures (i.e. intakes, outfalls, gates) incorporate singular elements (meshes, nets or grids) which, through their interaction with the water flow, can produce large changes in the water level (upstream and downstream) and forces on them. Therefore, an accurate definition of local head losses (to characterize water level changes) and drag coefficient (to characterize drag forces) allows to optimize their designs (configuration and geometric definition).
