Steady turbulent flow in curved rectangular channels

After the study of fully developed and developing steady laminar flow in curved channels of shallow rectangular wet cross-section (see earlier reports in this series), steady turbulent flow in such channels is investigated as a next step towards a mathematical model of the flow in shallow river bends. A mathematical model is developed for this...

Measurement of the Reynolds Stresses in a Circular Pipe as a Means of Testing a DISA Constant-Temperature Hot-Wire Anemometer

Measurements of the turbulent stresses in fully-developed pipe flow have been made as an overall test of the DISA constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. The measurements were made with single slanting wires and a normal wire. The shearing stress was measured at two Reynolds numbers and compared with values computed from the pressure drop down...

Reproduction of Velocity Profiles in Estuaries by some One-Dimensional Mathematical Models

For the prediction of dispersion phenomena and of changes in the morphology of an alluvial bottom, a detailed description of the water flow is necessary. The flow in estuaries is a complicated one, partly because of the time-dependence. To isolate this aspect of tidal flow a simplifying one-dimensional (vertical) flow model 1S used. This one...

Gedaechtniseffekte in der Turbulenz

NOTE: REPORT IN GERMAN, ONLY THE ABSTRACT IS IN ENGLISH Memory effects in the flow of fluids are known long since. One has to reckon with such effects when studying the flow of non-Newtonian fluids, for instance when they exhibit a visco-elastic behaviour. Certain phenomena in turbulence also seem to point towards a visco-elastic behaviour. If,...
