Abstract: A series of laboratory flume experiments were conducted to characterize lateral variations of suspended sediment over dunes. Forty experimental runs were made using flow depths of 0.328 and

Abstract: Floating breakwaters are typically used to protect small marinas or for shoreline erosion control on limited-fetch water bodies in which wavelengths are relatively short, such as lakes, reservoirs, and bays. In spite of ...

Abstract: Irrigation reservoirs are widely used in parts of the Mississippi River alluvial floodplain to supplement limited groundwater resources. Constructed using local soils that are often low in clay content, the earthen embankments ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume channel to evaluate the effects of increasing amounts of sand on its transport over and through an immobile coarse gravel bed. Detailed measurements of sand transport rate, ...

Abstract: Lateral and longitudinal variability in suspended-sediment concentration was investigated over dune and upper-regime plane beds under steady, uniform flow in a laboratory flume. A much greater sampling time was required ...

Abstract: The measurement of suspended sediment, particularly in field settings, is important in the documentation of sediment transport and deposition. Many measurement techniques have been used with varying degrees of success. The ...
