摘要
Basic knowledge of turbulent structures in open-channel flows are now available from accurate experimental data that were obtained using a laser Doppler anemometer in laboratory flumes. Many of these experiments have, however, been conducted at moderate Reynolds numbers. Therefore, it is not yet clear whether such laboratory data of open-channel turbulence can be applied to river turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. In this study, velocity measurements of the Biwako-Sosui River in Kyoto and the Aichi Irrigation Channel in Nagoya have been conducted by making use of three-component electromagnetic flow meters. Multicellular secondary currents were evident in a wide river, whereas large-scale free-surface secondary currents associated with velocity-dip phenomena were generated in a narrow river. The features of such secondary currents in rivers could be explained by theory of turbulence, and also they coincided well with the laboratory experiments and numerical calculations.
