Kinetic energy and momentum correction factors in a stream

Abstract

In this study, discharge, kinetic energy, , and momentum,  , correction coefficients in a stream were calculated precisely. For this purpose the point velocities of a section were measured using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). For a subcritical uniform flow condition, cross-section was divided in different slices, discharge, kinetic energy and momentum correction coefficients were investigated depending on the slice number. According to the measured and calculated verticals point velocities, 9 slice number was accepted as optimum for discharge,  and  coefficients
