Abstract

Flow structures in a double meandering compound channel were studied experimentally. The double meandering compound channel is referred to as a channel whose levee alignment is meandering as well as main channel alignment. In this research, the levee alignment goes ahead of the main channel alignment by 32 degrees. The experiment was carried out varying the flow depth over the floodplain. The structures of the primary flow, secondary currents were detailed in this paper. As a peculiar phenomenon in the double meandering channel, dead water area was observed over the floodplain at different locations according to the flow condition.
