| description 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 in the upstream section is also the same in both subsections. The floodplain discharge is therefore too large and a mass transfer towards the main channel occurs along the flume. This Technical Note investigates how long a compound-channel flume must be to ensure that equilibrium between subsection discharges is achieved. The required length is found to be significant compared to the actual length of experimental flumes reported in the literature. | |
