Abstract:This paper studies the effect of different independent variables related to the characteristics of the compound channels on the kinetic energy and momentum correction coefficients (termed as α and β, respectively) of non-prismatic compound channels. A series of experiments were carried out in a converging compound channel with three converging angles, six width ratios, six relative depths and three relative distances. Meanwhile, flow data sets from three different authors were used for diverging compound chann… 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.
