Flow measurements in a curved rectangular channel

This report describes an extensive experiment on steady turbulent flow in a rather sharply curved U-shaped flume with a shallow rectangular cross-section, under almost the same conditions as earlier, less extensive measurements in the same flume. The experiment was carried out as a part of a research project aiming at a mathematical model of the...

Theory of viscous flow in curved shallow channels

The axisymmetrical, viscous flow in curved channels is considered in the case where the hydraulic radius of the cross-section is small with respect to the average radius of curvature of the bend. First Ananyan's theory on this subject is reconsidered, using a regular perturbation method. The results are applied to a specific channel with a...
