Flow Patterns in an Open Channel Confluence with Increasingly Dominant Tributary Inflow

Flow Patterns in an Open Channel Confluence with Increasingly Dominant Tributary Inflow

Despite the ratio of incoming discharges being recognized as a key parameter in open-channel confluence hydrodynamics, little is known about the flow patterns when the tributary provides more than 90% of the total discharge. This paper offers a systematic study of flow features when the tributary be...
