Abstract

This study reports the results of flow visualization and velocity measurements in embayment. Flow visualization was done using aluminum powder as tracer and velocity measurements were carried out with electromagnetic velocitymeter. Visualized flow shows the formation of large organized eddies at the embayment-main channel interface and the existence of primary recirculation, secondary recirculation and flow separation. Measured velocity reveals that the mean velocities vary little with depth for low flow condition. Flow becomes more complex for flood flow condition and then, depth averaging is meaningless.
