The scale and circulation characteristics of spanwise vortexes in open channel flows
Abstract:For analyzing the scale and dynamics characteristics of spanwise vortexes in open channel flows
instantaneous velocities were measured with high-speed PIV in steady uniform flow at 6 cases. Vortex extraction method was employed to identify vortexes and a simple and objective method was proposed to analyze the radii and circulation characteristics of spanwise vortexes. The scale and circulation of the vortex is only related to the location
and there was no relationship with the Reynolds number or other factors. The mean scale of vortex increases from near wall to the upper boundary of log layer. By the suppression of free surface
the vortex radius gradually decreases above half of the water depth. The average circulation of the vortex generally decreases from the wall to the free surface due to the effect of viscous. The scale and intensity of retrograde vortex are both inhibited by the mean shear
and its average radii and circulation are less than the prograde vortex in the full field.
