A comparison of standard k–ε and realizable k–ε turbulence models in curved and confluent channels

R Shaheed, A Mohammadian… - Environmental Fluid …, 2019 - Springer
Bends and confluences are often observed in rivers, and one of the phenomena that
characterize flows in open channel bends and confluences is secondary current. Instead of …

Field investigation of three‐dimensional flow structure at stream confluences: 1. Thermal mixing and time‐averaged velocities

BL Rhoads, AN Sukhodolov - Water resources research, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Stream confluences are characterized by complex patterns of three‐dimensional fluid
motion. This paper examines the three‐dimensional time‐averaged flow structure at three …
