Investigation of flow measurement mechanism and hydraulic characteristics of the NACA airfoil pillar-shaped flume with different wing lengths in a rectangular channel

In this paper, the application of NACA airfoil pillar-shaped flumes and the influence of their wing lengths on flow measurement characteristics are discussed. The standard k-ε three-dimensional turbulence model and the volume of fluid (VOF) method were used for numerical simulation of the flow in si...
