2. MOTIVATION OF PRESENT WORK
Overloading of pollutants in water bodies particularly in river systems is
one of the major environmental issues worldwide.
Particularly, in developing countries like ours, where river systems are
being overloaded with pollutants due to rapid land use changes in their
respective catchments. And, anthropogenic activities are responsible
quite a lot for this.
Natural river systems have their capacity to transport pollutants in their
flows.
Prediction of hydraulic characteristics in natural river systems is
required in assessment of their pollutant transport capacity along the
flow.

BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW
Numerous works on straight compound channels in investigation of flow
characteristics and mechanism of lateral momentum transfer from main
channel to floodplains have been reported in recent past using
Analytical methods (Tang and Knight, 2008; Yang et al., 2013)
Laboratory experimental works (Rajaratnam and Ahmadi 1981; Knight and
Hamed 1984; Shiono and Knight, 1989; Tominaga and Nezu 1991;
Ackers, 1993; Shiono and Feng, 2003; Fraselle et al., 2008; Fernandes et
al., 2014); SERC FCF at Wallingford, UK.
Numerical model simulations (Naot et al., 1993; Thomas and Williams,
1995; Sofialidis and Prinos, 1998; Shiono et al., 2003; Nugroho and Ikeda,
2007; Joung and Choi, 2008; Cater and Williams, 2008; Kara et al., 2012;
Xie et al., 2013).
With the advent of high-speed computers, the study on two and three-
dimensional flows in compound open-channel hydraulics had experienced
surge of interest in recent years, mainly based on Reynolds-averaged
Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations.

BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW…
Tominaga and Nezu (1991) carried out experimental studies to investigate
secondary current patterns, turbulent structure of flows such as turbulent
intensities and Reynolds stresses under various relative water depth
ratios, and reported a 3-D data set using Fiber-optic Laser Doppler
anemometer (FLDA).
Naot et al. (1993), Pezzinga (1994), and Sofialidis and Prinos (1998, 1999)
solved 3-D equations and showed that their models are capable of
predicting the time-averaged primary flow including bed shear stress
distributions, secondary currents, turbulent structures for different
compound open-channel geometries.
Thomas and Williams (1995) were the first to employ LES in three-
dimensional flow to study the flow and turbulence characteristics in a
compound open-channel.
Cater and Williams (2008) and Kara et al. (2012) also successfully
applied the LES using three-dimensional equations in the simulation of
compound open-channel flows.
Xie et al. (2013) employed LES approach with dynamic SGS model using
partial cell treatment technique in investigating turbulent structure and
secondary flows in asymmetric compound channel. They compared the
model results with experimental data of Tominaga and Nezu (1991).

BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW…
Lin and Shiono (1995) developed 3-D model by solving Navier-Stokes
equations in conjunction with linear and nonlinear k-ε turbulent schemes
to investigate transport processes of solute in compound open channels.
Chatila and Townsend (1998) presented 2-D FDM in conjunction with
advection-diffusion equation and constant eddy-viscosity model to
simulate inert pollutant transport in compound open channels.
Shiono et al. (2003) developed 3-D model using two turbulence closure
schemes, viz. k-ε model and algebraic stress model for prediction of
solute transport injected near the water surface for deep flows depth in a
narrow asymmetric compound open channel and compared the simulated
results with experimental work of Shiono and Feng (2003). Common salt
was used as tracer material.
Laboratory experiments for solute transport in a wide symmetric compound
open-channel were undertaken by Fraselle et al. (2008). Later on,
Fraselle et al. (2010) developed numerical models of Telemac-2D
software using two turbulence schemes, i.e., k-ε and Elder schemes and
compared their model results with the experimental works. Diluted
common salt (NaCl) was used as solute material.
6. 10:31 AM 6
Based on their experimental observations, Sanjou et al. (2010) concluded
that two layer model can be very useful to understand the spanwise flow
features and interaction between upper and lower layers in compound
open channel.
Earlier, Knight and Demetriou (1983) experimentally showed variation
of apparent shear forces at horizontal interface of the channel for different
discharges in compound channels.
Chau and Jin (1995) suggested for use of sophisticated turbulence
model to capture the interaction between turbulence and mixing across the
interface.
Also, they suggested incorporation of transport equations in their two layered
model as future scope of work.

10. GOVERNING EQUATION: ASSUMPTIONS
By integrating 3-D N-S equations vertically from bottom to top face of each
layer with consideration of mass and momentum exchange between the layers.
A hydrostatic pressure distribution is assumed on each layer, i.e., convection and
friction terms in momentum equation in vertical direction are much smaller than
pressure gradient and gravitation.
Density in each layer is same and constant, i.e., variation in density between
the layers is neglected.
Coriolis force is negligible.

88. CONCLUSIONS: HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL
1) The model result on flow parameters like interfacial shear stress
and vertical flow velocity gives insight about the overall momentum
exchange between the main channel and the floodplain of straight
compound open-channel.
2) Based on sensitivity analysis, the average values of model
parameters C and α equals to 0.1 and 0.5 respectively are found
to be adequate for simulation of hydraulic characteristics.
3) Significant difference in layered average primary flow velocities
near the junction of lower and upper layers is of the order of 10-
14% of mean bulk velocity.
4) Analysis of variations of flow variables in compound channels in
terms of bed shear stress distributions and, spanwise and vertical
velocities at the horizontal interface revealed the existence of
horizontal vortices where momentum exchange takes place.
5) Spanwise distribution of shear stresses at interface of compound
channel reveals the dominance of shear stresses at the junction.
10:31 AM 88
The major findings of hydrodynamic model simulations are:
89. 6) The developed model has been able to simulate satisfactorily the
depth averaged primary velocity in compound open channels. The
model is able to reproduce one inflection point in case of shallow
flows in symmetric compound channel while two inflection points in
case of deep flows in asymmetric compound channel.
7) The maximum secondary currents are generated near the junction of
the main channel and floodplain; the direction of the currents
indicates the trend of mass and momentum transfer from lower to
upper layer. Horizontal isolines plots of secondary currents, bed and
interfacial shear stresses indicate the formation of vortices near the
junction of the main channel and floodplains.
8) The variation of depth averaged dynamic model parameter C in
compound channels is in the range of 0.02 to 0.145.
9) The DSGS model has been found to give better results vis-à-vis SS
model in simulating hydraulic characteristics in compound open
channel flows.
CONCLUSIONS: HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL
10:31 AM 89
90. CONCLUSIONS: SOLUTE TRANSPORT MODEL
1) DSGS model has been able to predict the peak solute
concentrations irrespective of point of injection in the compound
channel cross-section. The spanwise distribution of concentration
across the junction of the main channel and floodplain, depends
upon the magnitude of secondary currents.
2) The developed model has been able to simulate the concentration
of solute in both symmetric (Exps.I-1, I-4) and asymmetric (Exp.C-
1, C-2, C-3) compound open channels with RMSE ranging from
0.01 g/l to 0.05 g/l and 0.73 ppb to 1.19 ppb respectively.
3) The presence of vertical velocity component causes higher rate of
distribution of concentrations vertically vis-à-vis in horizontal
direction.
4) The performance of developed model is better at downstream
locations as compared to upstream locations due to better mixing
of pollutants.
