Abstract: Experiments were conducted to study the bed‐friction influence in the recirculating zone of a shallow open‐channel flow. Velocity measurements were made using a hot‐film anemometer. The recirculating flow rate and the ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic characteristics of viscous flow through periodic arrays of cylinders are studied by different methods: (1) Nonintrusive laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) to measure local velocity distributions; and (2) ...
