Abstract: This paper presents a simple analytical method for the calculation of the trajectories of jets in weak crossflows. Assuming a general similarity of the jet, a simple convection relation with no experimental coefficients ...

Abstract: Most of the computational models of curved open channel flows use the conventional depth averaged De St. Venant equations. De St. Venant equations assume uniform velocity and hydrostatic pressure distributions. They are ...

Abstract: A depth‐averaged model formulated in the Cartesian coordinate system is introduced for simulating the velocity distribution in curved open channels. The finite element method is used to simplify the geometry problems in ...

Abstract: Consideration of momentum conservation within a hydraulic jump leads to the conclusion that both the momentum correction due to the nonuniform mean velocity profile and the depth-averaged turbulent normal stress are important ...

Abstract: A new set of vertically averaged and moment equations, which assumes a linear longitudinal velocity distribution and quadratic vertical velocity and pressure distributions, is used for modeling flow in the vicinity of ...

Abstract: A new set of vertically averaged and moment equations, which assumes linear horizontal velocity distribution as well as quadratic vertical velocity and pressure distributions, along with a reduced set of vertically averaged ...

Abstract: In the study of flow in curved open channels, it is observed that a gradual transition from a flat to a superelevated water surface occurs when the curvature of the channel is abruptly changed. The length of this transition ...

Abstract: This paper presents mean velocity and some turbulence measurements for uniform subcritical flow in a smooth rectangular channel for three aspect ratios equal to 5.08, 7.83, and 12.3 obtained with a Laser Doppler Anemometer. ...

Abstract: Velocity and turbulence distributions are measured in a 270° curved open channel of half trapezoidal section with extra roughness applied to the outside bank slope. The purpose of this investigation is to provide some ...
