Abstract: Global positioning system (GPS) data are used to measure boat velocity during acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) discharge measurements, particularly when bottom tracking (BT) is biased by moving bed. A Kalman filter ...

Abstract: An estimate of apparent bed-load velocity

Abstract: A series of laboratory flume experiments were performed to study the effect of stream barbs on flow field dynamics and sediment erosion in a 135° mobile-bed channel bend. Stream barbs (also known as spur dikes or submerged ...

Abstract: Laboratory flume experiments were conducted to study the flow field and sediment dynamics in a mobile-bed channel bend with and without the presence of stream barbs (upstream-angled submerged groynes). This paper presents ...

Abstract: The development of a fully three-dimensional finite volume morphodynamic model, for simulating fluid and sediment transport in curved open channels with rigid walls, is described. For flow field simulation, the Reynolds-averaged ...

Abstract: Detailed mapping of bathymetry and apparent bed load velocity using a boat-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was carried out along a 388-m section of the lower Missouri River near Columbia, Missouri. Sampling ...
