Abstract: This study investigates flows in a square and a rectangular embayment located on the side bank of an open channel. It is found that the main flow of the open channel induces a circulatory flow in the square and rectangular ...

Abstract: Water rivulets on inclined smooth plate form a stable meandering pattern under certain conditions. The bend theory for describing the meandering water rivulet includes the effect of the surface-tension force. The governing ...

Abstract: A mathematical model for defining the bed topography and the bed material size distribution in uniformly curved bends of alluvial rivers is developed, in which the coarsening of sediment size toward the outside bank is ...

Abstract: Side flow on a flood plain from a side outlet of the main channel is investigated both theoretically and experimentally for supercritical main flow. The side outlet as a model simulates a failure of a river bank in a ...
