Abstract
The main flow features of subcritical junction flows are explored, based on an extended hydraulic model study. The flow conditions chosen resulted in flows that are governed by the Froude similarity law. So-called simple junctions with junction angles of 30°, 60°, and 90° were tested. The main emphasis was made in determining the characteristics of the lateral flow and the flow contraction in the tailwater branch. Further, expressions for the momentum correction coefficients, the lateral wall pressure force, and the ratio of flow depths in the lateral and upstream branches were provided. A rational approach for the momentum contribution of the lateral branch is presented and applied for the prediction of the backwater effect across a simple junction. The complex flow pattern is further documented with selected photographs such that a rather complete description of junction flow is now available.
