Flow in Open-Channel Embayments
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 128, Issue 12
Abstract
This study investigates flows in a square and a rectangular embayment located on the side bank of an open channel. It is found that the main flow of the open channel induces a circulatory flow in the square and rectangular embayment and the center of the circulatory flow is shifted downstream in comparison with the center of the embayment. A solution of the shallow water equations solved using the method of variation yields results of the 95% confidence intervals within 10% of mean errors between the observed and computed nondimensional velocities.
