An experimental design was set up to measure the losses Load caused by baffles between the upstream and downstream of the channel. The experimental measurements made have enabled us to establish empirical relationships to evaluate losses in accordance with load losses configuration and arrangement of baffles and for different flow regimes. %U https://revues.univ-biskra.dz/index.php/cds/article/view/427 %J Courrier du Savoir %0 Journal Article %V 13 %@ 1112-3338
