Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow field in the gradual transition of rectangular to trapezoidal open channels

Transitions are structures that can change geometry and flow velocity through varying the cross-sections of their channels. Under subcritical flow and steady flow conditions, it is necessary to reduce the flow velocity gradually due to increasing water pressure and adverse pressure gradients. Due to...
