Civil and Environmental Engineering Publications
This experimental study was carried out to investigate the turbulent shallow wake generated by a vertical sharp-edged flat plate suspended in a shallow channel flow with a gap near the bed. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of the gap flow on the wake by studying two different gap heights between the channel bed and the bottom edge of the bluff body. These two cases will be compared to the no-gap case which is considered as a reference case. Themaximumflowvelocity was 0.45m/s and the Reynolds number based on the water depthwas 45,000. Extensivemeasurements of the flowfield …
