Mechanism of secondary currents in open channel flows
This paper describes the conditions for initiation and maintenance of secondary currents in open channel flows. By analyzing the Reynolds equation in the wall-normal and wall-tangent directions, this study reveals that, like other types of vortices, the secondary currents are originated in the near-boundary region, and the magnitude (or strength) of secondary flow is proportional to the lateral...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents
Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...
متن کاملJets Opposing Turbidity Currents and Open Channel Flows
Hydraulic jumps at the tail end of spillways are usually induced by baffle blocks or other obstacles. Such jumps can also be induced by jets that oppose the main flow. Another application is to back up turbidity currents in reservoirs by means of opposing jets. This measure can be adopted when transfer tunnels feed water into the reservoir at a higher elevation near the dam. Stopping the turbid...
متن کاملAcross-channel distribution of the mean and tidal flows in the Khuran Channel, Persian Gulf, Iran
The Khuran Channel, Southern Iran (26°45’N), is a topographically complex channel which is open at both ends. Owning to its particular geometry, this narrow channel is subjected to strong tidal currents.Across-channel distribution of the mean and tidal flows were obtained over a semidiurnal tidal cycle in the Khuran Channel where the highest tidal velocity in the third day of the seco...
متن کاملan investigation of the influence of longitudinal channel slope on secondary currents in compound channels using 2 d momentum model
secondary flow investigation could be regarded as an important issue in open channel flow, in spite of its lower quantity compared to the base flow in the water course. it should be given special consideration because of the influence on some hydraulic factors in open channel, specifically in compound channels. in compound channels' due to the difference in the flow velocity of the main ch...
