Secondary Currents at Very Low and High Aspect Ratios of Open Channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present numerical study is an attempt to better understand the effect of the aspect ratio (AR) on the velocity field characteristics of the fully-developed turbulent flow in a straight open channel by contrasting a very low and very high aspect ratio cases (AR = 1 and 12). The AR is defined as the ratio of the width of the channel in a plane normal to the flow direction, to the flow depth. The bulk velocity and water depth considered in this study are 0.75 m/s and 30 mm, respectively, which yield a Reynolds number of ReH = 22,500. The transient three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were numerically solved using a finite-volume approach with improved-delayed detached-eddy simulation (IDDES) turbulence model. The results revealed that the normalized components of the normal stresses by the turbulent kinetic energy k are constant over most of the velocity field, although k varies in magnitude throughout the velocity field in both AR cases. In addition, the results also revealed a strong anisotropic flow which justifies the formation of secondary currents as a means for transporting the kinetic energy. The results also reveal that both vertical and transverse components of the normal stresses are correlated to the side-recirculation zone (SRZ) and bottom-recirculation zone (BRZ), respectively, which highlights the role of the mean recirculation zones (BRZ & SRZ) in the re-distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy k in the velocity field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
