In this study, analytical-statistical solutions of the characteristics in gradually and abruptly expanded channel flows, such as velocity profile, turbulent shear stress profile and profiles of turbulent kinetic energy, energy dissipation rate, and dispersion coefficient are derived. Then, the comparisons of the analytical results are made with the results of 2-DH with depth-averaged numerical model solution and some experimental results.Good trends and agreements are obtained, and the expanding angletakes an important and relevant role on the main effect of these hydrodynamic items. The quasi-3D flow situation due to the downstream abruptly contracted channel with the upstream abruptly expanded channel is also shown and discussed. In this paper, the new contributions, ideas, clarifications and applications that resulted after the paper was given are presented.
