Surface Roughness Effects on Separated and Reattached Turbulent Flows in Open Channel

An experimental research was performed to study the effects of surface roughness on the characteristics of separated and reattached turbulent flows in an open channel. A backward facing step was used to induce flow separation. The rough surfaces comprised wire mesh grit-80 and sand grains of ave...
