摘要
For the 90° equal-width open-channel junction flow, the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved while using the 3-D κ- ω model. The mean flow pattern and the secondary current are obtained. The model is validated by experimental data, and then applied to investigate the effect of the discharge ratio on the shape of separation zone shape, the cross-sectional mean flow angle and the contraction coefficient. The results are fairly close to those of the prior studies. The numerical modeling is both less time-consuming and less expensive to obtain the various flow parameters needed for engineering design.
