Description
Summary:The widening value formulas of continuous bends currently in use cannot meet the requirements of the practical engineering because the values of them are far less than the realistic situation needs. Based on the method of combing the generalized open channel flow model of continuous bends with the experiment of small-sized ship model, and in accordance with the experimental data and the precursors’ experience, two of the channel widening value empirical formulas are obtained, which can respectively used in the upper bend and the lower bend of the continuous bends according to the length of the transitional linear segment sufficient or not.
