Leaf Area Index as Vegetation Density Measure for Hydraulic Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The correct parameterization of vegetation using measurable plant characteristics is essential for reliable flow resistance estimates. This paper focuses on the impact of density and distribution of the leaf mass on the ...
Data Interpretation for In Situ Measurements of Cohesive Sediment Erosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Methods for interpreting data from in situ flume measurements of cohesive sediment dynamics are evaluated and a technique for estimating various erosion parameters using in situ measurements is proposed. There is currently ...
Erosion of Cohesive Sediments: Resuspension, Bed Load, and Erosion Patterns from Field Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: New field data on cohesive sediment erosion is presented and discussed, with particular focus on partitioning the total erosion into resuspension and bed load. The data were obtained using a recently developed in situ flume ...
Straight Benthic Flow-Through Flume for In Situ Measurement of Cohesive Sediment Dynamics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of a straight benthic flow-through flume for in situ studies of cohesive sediment dynamics is described including the flume structure and probes installed for routine measurements of suspended sediments and flow ...
