This paper reports the results of an experimental series carried out to study flow and
sediment distribution in a 90° channel diversion. Each experiment is performed letting the …

Branching channel flow refers to any side water withdrawals from rivers or main channels.
Branching channels have wide application in many practical projects, such as irrigation and …

In this work, we studied the dimensions of stream tube in the vertical as well as inclined bank
conditions. Data were collected from both a physical model and a 3-D numerical model …

A major problem which most of lateral intakes are faced with is sedimentation and sediment
delivery. This process causes many problems such as reduction flow discharge capacity in …

Water diversion to bifurcating canals has been attracting interest from water engineering
researchers for decades. It can be described by the size of the separation zone in the intake …

Knowing flow pattern, especially stream tube dimensions at the vicinity of a lateral intake is
important to study flow discharge and sediment rate entering to the intake as well as to better …

The drinking water supply, as well as other water-related uses for humans, begins with
extracting the" raw" water from different sources. Many plants treat the water by directly …

Fluvial bifurcations are systems that have a great influence on human society. Their
formation and evolution can affect to activities as agriculture or industry and a good …

1.1 Background Open channels in irrigation and drainage projects are the most important
means to transport water. In many cases, channels need to branch out to secondary …
