  • Patent number: 8602684
    Abstract: The arrangement for producing linear standing waves includes: a transverse structure arranged at least substantially perpendicularly to the flow direction, the structure designed such that the outflow is converted from a streaming flowing movement into a shooting flowing movement; a ramp connected downstream to the transverse structure and arranged at least substantially perpendicularly to the flow direction; a counter-ramp arranged at least substantially in the flow direction at the downstream end of the ramp and the average inclination in the flow direction forms an angle to the horizontal in the flow direction, and which has a flow-promoting transition to the ramp at its upstream end; a base arranged downstream of the ramp and the counter-ramp and whose bottom is arranged lower by a height dimension than the downstream end of the ramp and/or the upstream end of the counter-ramp.

  • Publication number: 20110116870
    Abstract: The arrangement for producing linear standing waves comprises: a transverse structure (Q) which is arranged at least substantially perpendicularly to the flow direction (S), this structure being designed in such a way that the outflow is converted from a streaming flowing movement (Froude number <1) into a shooting flowing movement (Froude number >1); a ramp (1) which is connected downstream to this transverse structure (Q) and which is arranged at least substantially perpendicularly to the flow direction (S); a counter-ramp (2) which is arranged at least substantially in the flow direction (S) at the downstream end of this ramp (1) and whose average inclination in the flow direction (S) forms an angle (?) to the horizontal in the flow direction (S), and which has a flow-promoting transition to the ramp (1) at its upstream end; a base (3) which is arranged downstream of the ramp (1) and the counter-ramp (2) and whose bottom is arranged lower by a height dimension (a) than the downstream end of the ramp
