Cluster Evolution and Flow-Frictional Characteristics under Different Sediment Availabilities and Specific Gravity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The formation of cluster structures in gravel bed streams is a naturally occurring process that characterizes the response of sediment to the erosive power of flowing water. Cluster structures are formed when two or more ...
Stochastic Incipient Motion Criterion for Spheres under Various Bed Packing Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Incipient motion criteria based solely on time-averaged bed shear stress may underpredict sediment transport. The focus of this study is on the stochastic aspect of the problem of incipient motion. Specifically, the role ...
Microforms in Gravel Bed Rivers: Formation, Disintegration, and Effects on Bedload Transport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research aims to advance current knowledge on cluster formation and evolution by tackling some of the aspects associated with cluster microtopography and the effects of clusters on bedload transport. The specific ...
Surface Roughness Effects in Near-Bed Turbulence: Implications to Sediment Entrainment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the characteristics of near-bed turbulence were experimentally investigated for three distinct roughness regimes, namely (1) isolated; (2) wake interference; and (3) skimming. Spherical particles of the same ...
Hydraulic Engineering Education: Evolving to Meet Needs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Washington State University, by virtue of the presence of the Albrook Hydraulics Laboratory, maintains several courses devoted to hydraulic engineering. The evolution of hydraulics offerings reflects the needs of the day. ...
