Abstract: Transcritical flows in three and four branch channel intersections have been studied experimentally, and an empirical relationship is derived from the data to express the flow distribution as a function of the Froude number ...

Abstract: A supercritical open-channel flow can skirt an emerged obstacle by using two distinct forms of workaround: a detached hydraulic jump or a so-called wall-jet-like bow wave. These two forms stem from the properties of ...

Abstract: The aim of this research is to measure the clear-water scouring produced by supercritical flow around a rectangular-shaped obstacle. The initial uniform flow condition without the obstacle is such that the Shields parameter ...

Abstract: Flooding rivers usually present transition reaches where the floodplain width can significantly vary. The present study focuses on an abrupt floodplain contraction (mean angle 22°) in order to determine whether one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Common inlet design for compound-channel flumes does not ensure a proper upstream discharge distribution. As the total head in the upstream tank is the same for both main-channel and floodplain subsections, the velocity ...

Abstract: An unsteady mathematical model for predicting flow divisions at a right-angled open-channel junction is presented. Existing dividing models depend on a prior knowledge of a constant flow regime. In addition, their strong ...

Abstract: Open-channel confluences are important junctions in natural and human-made channel networks. Different controls of the confluence hydrodynamics have already been studied intensively, often in schematized geometrical ...
