Abstract
In this study, the hydraulic model experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to analyze the flood flow characteristics in and around a channel confluence connected asymmetrically with four channels. The numerical model applied in this study is ANSYS CFX (ver. 14) which is the commercial three-dimensional CFD model. As results of comparison between the measured and simulated water depth distributions in and around a channel confluence, the agreement is relatively well satisfied. It can be shown in this study that the water surface profiles in and around a channel confluence are significant different with the two channel directions in which the water are entering and increased inflow.
