Abstract: Live-bed tests on steep bed slopes are run in a laboratory flume to investigate the slope of equilibrium. The tests simulate a general degradation until a new equilibrium is reached. Subsequently, different bed sill settings ...

Abstract: River bank protection is a costly but essential component in river management. Outer banks in river bends are most vulnerable to scour and erosion. Previous laboratory experiments illustrated that a well-designed horizontal ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm for automatic control of open‐channel flow. The design of a control algorithm is essentially conditioned by two features of the open‐channel dynamics: (1) The time‐inverse propagation process ...

Abstract: An experimental study of local scour around rectangular bridge piers founded on two circular cylindrical piles, where the piles are exposed as a result of scouring, is presented. The problem is the interaction of two widths ...
