Effect of unsteady flow on hydrodynamic characteristics at confluences
Unsteady tributary inflow imposes time-varying lateral momentum forcing on river confluences, but its effects on transient confluence-flow adjustment remain less understood than those under steady inflow. In this study, two-dimensional (2D) planform simulations examined velocity redistribution, separation-zone adjustme...
