Abstract:Understanding secondary flows in sharply curved open‐channel bends is key for analysing the flow patterns in rivers and and designing effective hydraulic structures. This study employs both experimental and computational methods to investigate the flow characteristics in a sharply curved 60° open‐channel bend. The primary objective is to enhance understanding of flow behaviours in such configurations. For numerical simulations, we utilize the Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes equations, applying the volume‐of‐fl… Show more
