Lateral Inflow into High-Velocity Channels

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) investigates lateral flow discharging into a high-velocity channel. The results of a series of laboratory and numerical model experiments are presented. Various geometric and hydraulic conditions were studied to evaluate hydraulic variables such as location and magnitude of peak depths. This depth information is necessary for determination of channel wall heights required to contain flows in the vicinity of laterals.
