| Abstract | Circulating flow patterns of water in open channels are investigated
by using depth-averaged two-dimensional numerical model and hydraulic model
experiments.
In the first part of the work, the numerical computation are used to
investigate the effect of individual parameters, e.g . , effective stresses,
entrance velocity, depth , boundary condition, etc., on the flow patterns.
The configuration of the model is changed in order to examine its effect
on circurating flow patterns. It has been found that (i) the effective
stresses are important for the occurence of circurating flow ; (ii) in channel
pool configuration, the circurating velocities increase with an decrease of
pool length; (iii) in numerical model , the circurating flow can be generated
on a smooth bed , while the bed resistance is negligible.
In the second part, the experiment is performed on a flat-bed channel
pool model using three different discharges. The flow pattern from experimental results agree with numerical results. |
