Turbulence-induced secondary flows in straight open channel with imposed transverse bed non-uniformities

Characteristics of open channel flows can be significantly modified in the presence of secondary flows. This study aims to investigate time-mean characteristics of open channel flows subject to steady large-scale longitudinal vorticity, which are generated by longitudinal bedforms. Laboratory experi...
