Typology of the flow structures in dividing open channel flows

Abstract: The present study reports the occurrence of a new recirculation structure taking place in the lateral branch of a 90° bifurcation flow. This recirculation structure is "helix-shaped" and strongly differs from the typical "closed" recirculation often reported in the literature. The aim of the study is to detail their characteristics using experimental and numerical approaches and to establish a typology, i.e. the flow conditions leading to each recirculation structure based on the upstream Froude number and the… Show more

“…The source term s D accounts for building drag forces. The dynamics of free surface ow in three and four branch crossroads has been studied extensively over the past years, from both an experimental and numerical point of view [7,9,10,17,22,23,24,25,27,28,31,32,33]. These studies have mainly focused on the ow distribution between the outowing branches of the crossroads (see e.g.…”

“…Note that in the case of a 1D model, the red curve on figure 4 (top), corresponding to the experimental flow lines averaged in width, show a convexity in water height profiles along this street downstream each crossroad where a recirculation area appears (cf. [29]). In such case the effective flow vein is narrowed and the flow accelerates; with a contraction coefficient 0 < α < 1 the effective cross sectional area A f lowvein = αA f ullwidth .…”

“…A clockwise secondary motion cell is along the outer wall of the branch channel and a counterclockwise secondary motion cell in the main channel occurs after the intake and along the inner wall (Montaseri et al 2019). Two recirculation structures in the lateral flow are occurred, and the recirculation structures are helix-shaped and closed (Momplot et al 2017).…”
