Characteristics of Flow Structures in the Wake of a Bed-Mounted Bluff Body in Shallow Open Channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The characteristics of the flow structures observed in the wake of a bluff body mounted vertically on the bed and normal to the flow in a shallow open channel are investigated using detached eddy simulation (DES). The flow structures in the shallow wake are identified using the λ2-criterion. A distinctive feature in the time-averaged flow field, referred to as the owl face of the first kind, is observed. The position of this spiraling structure is stable at locations close to the bed, while its rotation sense switches from stable inward to unstable outward spiraling as it moves toward the free surface, where the bed friction becomes insignificant and the flow develops into a traditional two-dimensional (2D) wake. A three-dimensional (3D) structure resulting from a horizontally oriented secondary roll-up process is observed immediately downstream of the base of the bluff body in the center of the near-wake region. In addition to the horseshoe vortex, a new structure that wraps around the bluff body in the toe region is identified, referred to as a collar vortex. The presence of the coherent structures in the near-bed region is highlighted and their influence on the wake region is discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
