An experimental program is designed to study the salient features of separated and reattached flows in pressure gradients generated in asymmetric diverging and converging channels. The channels comprised a straight flat floor and a curved roof that was preceded and followed by s…

This thesis investigates the effects of pressure gradient and roughness on the mean and turbulence characteristics in non-uniform open channel flow. The flow and turbulence structure over three successive beds with accelerating, near uniform (near zero pressure gradient) and dec…
