Abstract:The complex flow structure in sharp bends may cause a series of water and sediment problems which are of great risk to flooding control and engineering safety. For this reason, there is of great significance to study the characteristics of secondary flow in sharp bends. In this article, the characteristics of vorticity and longitudinal velocity in sharp bends are studied by laboratory experiments and theoretical analysis. The results showed that there are two opposite circular currents on every cross-section i… Show more
