Experimental study on the flow characteristics at local diverging-converging sections in mountain lotus root shape channel
Abstract:The wide gradual channel is a common form of natural rivers. The flow structure was measured in the physical model of the wide gradual channel using Acoustic Doppler velocimeter. The results show that the flow presents different evolutions between the local diverging sections and converging sections. The scales of the streamwise velocity and the secondary flow of the upper layer decrease in diverging sections
however
the later shows the inverse variations in converging sections. In addition
the flow separation occurs in the whole lotus root shape channel.
