A parametrical study on secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and theoretical modelling

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R (H is the average flow depth and R is the centreline radius of curvature), the Froude number Fr, and the dimensionless roughness coefficient Cf was systematically investigated in ...

Secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and modelling

Anton Schleiss, Alexandre Blanc, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R and the Froude number Fr was systematically investigated in a series of 18 experiments in a sharply-curved laboratory flume. The investigated flow depths were 0.9 m, 0.13 m, 0.19 ...

The Effects of a Tripped Turbulent Boundary Layer on Vortex Shedding from a Blunt Trailing Edge Hydrofoil

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Amirreza Zobeiri

Experiments on vortex shedding from a blunt trailing edge symmetric hydrofoil operating at zero angle of attack in a uniform high speed flow, Re-h = 16.1 . 10(3) - 96.6 . 10(3), where the reference length h is the trailing edge thickness, are reported. The ...

Saturation of curvature-induced secondary flow, energy losses, and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends: Laboratory experiments, analysis, and modeling

Koen Blanckaert

The paper investigates the influence of relative bend curvature on secondary flow, energy losses, and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends. These processes are important in natural streams with respect to sediment transport, the bathymetry and planimetry ...

Turbulent vortex shedding from a blunt trailing edge hydrofoil

Philippe Ausoni

Placed in a fluid stream, solid bodies can exhibit a separated flow that extends to their wake. The detachment of the boundary layer on both upper and lower surfaces forms two shear layers which generate above a critical value of Reynolds number a periodic ...

An experimental study of coherent structures, secondary currents and surface boils and their interrelation in open-channel flow

Ismail Albayrak

River and open-channel flows are free surface boundary layer flows with complex 3D, large-scale, turbulent structures. The study of 2D and 3D large-scale turbulent flow structures is a great challenge for physicists, mathematicians and engineers from such ...
