Modeling Depth-Averaged Velocity and Boundary Shear Stress in Rectangular Compound Channels with Secondary Flows
The depth-averaged equation of flow in a rectangular compound channel with secondary flows is established by analyzing the forces acting on the elemental water body and using Newton’s second law. The analytical solution to the transverse variation of depth-averaged velocity is presented that includes the effects of lateral momentum transfer and secondary flow in addition to bed friction. Different forms of boundary conditions at the internal wall between the rectangular main channel and the adjoining floodplain are presented. A comparison with the published experimental data demonstrates that the present model is capable of predicting the distributions of depth-averaged velocity and boundary shear stress. The results also indicate that the secondary flow and boundary conditions have influences on them. Finally, the key parameters in the model, such as the Darcy–Weisbach coefficient, the momentum transfer coefficient, and the secondary flow coefficient are also discussed and analyzed.
