Abstract:<p>Open-channel confluences are important junctions in fluvial and artificial networks, which regulate the mixing phenomena of substances transported by the merging flows. This paper aims at contributing to the study of how the discharge ratio of the incoming flows influences the flow patterns and mixing phenomena at a T-shaped open-channel confluence with a wider downstream channel. In this study, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are applied to compare the flow and passive scalar transport processes… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
