Vortex Formation with Free Surface Variation in Shear Layer of Open Channel Flows near Abrupt Expansion
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vortex formation with the free surface variation in the shear layer of open channel flows is investigated by means of the plane-2D shallow water equations. The invisid instability analysis of the tanhtype velocity profile is firstly shown in order to make sure the applicability of the equations for the vortex formation in a free boundary layer. Then, the numerical simulation is made for the plane 2D-flow domain of open-channels with an abrupt expansion. Some numerical results conserning the vortex formation (velocity vectors, contour lines of depth etc.) are shown indicating the relation between the temporal velocity variations and the vortex shedding processes.

متن کاملMechanism 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...
