Dividing Flow in Open Channels

Amruthur S. Ramamurthy, Due Minh Tran, Luis Carballada

Abstract

Junctions are of considerable importance in the study of open‐channel flows. For dividing flow at right‐angled junctions of rectangular open channels, an estimate of the discharge ratio is obtained in terms of the Froude numbers in the main channel upstream and downstream of the junction. Experimental data is provided to validate the proposed model.
