ON THE DISCHARGE RATIO OF SUPERCRITICAL FLOW IN BRANCHING CHANNELS

Abstract

It has been recognized that the characteristics of supercritical flow in open channel is similar to that of compressible fluid of two dimensions. So that, the discharge ratio of supercritical flow in branching channels was theoretically obtained by studying the same problem as Prandtl-Meyer flow, and at the same time it was experimentally investigated.
The experimental results were somewhat different from the theoretical ones, but it has been concluded that this theory is of proctical use in adopting a supplementary coefficient.
