Section Turbulent Distribution of the Stratified Shear Flow in the Braided River

Article Preview

Abstract:

The turbulent characteristics of stratified shear flow in braided rivers with different velocities in upper and lower layers are not clear at present. The physical model of a typical braided river was conducted to study its sectional turbulence intensity distribution. The model has a mid-bar between two symmetrical anabranches. The transverse distribution, the vertical distribution and the whole section distribution of turbulent intensity were analyzed. The strong turbulent intensity occurred in the interface of upper and lower layers and the boundary zone of the high velocity and low velocity near outer bank. As the flow moved downstream, the strong area of turbulent intensity had a trend moving from the outer bank to the inner bank, and then the turbulent intensity decreased and mixed uniformly.
