Abstract

A tool to evaluate the velocity field corresponding to turbulent flow in open channels has been developed at the Hydraulic Laboratory, Waterways Experiment Station (WES), under REMR Work Units 32319, 'Predictive Techniques for Approach Flow to Spillways and Other Structures,' and 32656, 'Dissemination and Improvement of STREMR Model.' This tool, a numerical model called STREMR, has the unique capability of determining the influence of turbulence, channel resistance, and flow curvature on the development of the depth-averaged velocity field over short channel reaches. The model has proven useful in studies concerning the hydraulic performance of river bendways, diversion tunnels, pump stations, training structures, bank protection works, outlet works, and navigation channels. It is suitable for routine use by field engineers with a background in fluid mechanics, and it can be applied on most IBM-compatible personal computers.
