Release Date: August 21, 2002
Turbulence is one of the key issues in tackling engineering flow problems. As powerful computers and accurate numerical methods are now available for solving the flow equations, and since engineering applications nearly always involve turbulence effects, the reliability of CFD analysis depends increasingly...
Gradually-varied Flow Profiles in Open Channels
Analytical Solutions by Using Gaussian Hypergeometric Function
Language: English
Release Date: January 8, 2014
Gradually-varied flow (GVF) is a steady non-uniform flow in an open channel with gradual changes in its water surface elevation.
