FUNDAMENTAL STUDY OF FLOW PATTERN AND BED TOPOGRAPHY IN THE CONNECTION AREA BETWEEN AN UPSTREAM LARGE-AMPLITUDE MEANDERING CHANEELS AND A DOWNSTREAM STRAIGHT CHANNEL

Laboratory experiments were performed on fundamental characteristics of flow pattern and bed topography in the connection area between an upstream large-amplitude meandering channel and a downstream straight channel. It is found that, in the fixed-bed condition, the water depth in the meandering cha...

Zusammenfassung:Laboratory experiments were performed on fundamental characteristics of flow pattern and bed topography in the connection area between an upstream large-amplitude meandering channel and a downstream straight channel. It is found that, in the fixed-bed condition, the water depth in the meandering channel drops down locally just in front of the connection point, which is lower than the water depth in the straight channel, and that, as well as along the meandering channel, the lateral location of the maximum main flow velocity swings from side to side along the straight channel to a certain extent downstream from the connection point. It was also observed that, in the movable-bed condition, sandbars are formed in the extent region in the straight channel due to such flow characteristics.
