简介：Ageneralizedbendflowmodel,treatinga90°singlebendand60°continuousbends,wasdesignedtoquantitativelydescribe3-Dturbulencemechanismofcirculatingnot-fully-developedflowinopenchannelswithbends.The3-Dfluctuatingvelocitiesofturbulentflowweremeasuredandanalyzedwitha3-Dacoustic-Dopplervelocimeter.Formulafor3-Dturbulentintensitywasderivedusingthedimensionanalysisapproach.Expressionsofverticalturbulent-intensitydistributionswereobtainedwiththemultivariant-regressiontheory,whichagreewithexperimentdata.Distributionsofturbulentintensityandturbulentstresswerecharacterized,andtheirrelationshipswereconcluded.Inthebend-turbulent-flowcoreregion,longitudinalandlateralturbulent-intensitydistributionsarecoincidentwithlineardistribution,butinnear-wallregionarecoincidentwiththeGammadistribution.VerticalturbulentintensitydistributionsarecoincidentwiththeRayleighdistribution.Herein,itisconcludedthatthebendturbulenceisanisotropic.
