Abstract: It is very important to reveal the coherent structure in meandering compound open-channel flows for predicting the transport properties of suspended sediments in rivers in flood. However, flow-visualization techniques such as PIV and PTV, have not sufficiently been applied to such flows in previous studies, and thus, there is almost no detailed information on coherent turbulence in meandering compound open-channel flows. Therefore, in this study, we conducted some PIV measurements with a high-speed CMOS camera. The time-averaged velocity properties and coherent turbulence structure were investigated and considered on the basis of the present measured data.
