Calculation for Circulating Velocity in Curved Channel

Abstract:

The hydraulic characteristics of curved channel flow are one of the most important subjects to hydraulic researchers and engineers. Among them the magnitude of circulation velocity and its calculation method is of great interests. Experimentation of generalized curved channel was carried out to explore the flow velocity parameters and circulation velocity characteristics by adopting the ADV to measure and analyze the 3D velocity datum. Theoretic formula was established for calculating the circulating velocity in the curved channel. Comparison with the results calculated from the formulas of other researchers the formula proposed in the paper is relatively quite good. The paper provides a basis to explore the hydraulic characteristics of the curved channel profoundly.
