Comparison of Turbulent Flows over Clusters of Varying Density
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Gravel bed rivers commonly form an armored surface layer within which cluster bedforms develop. Clusters can form in isolation or develop cluster groups of increasing density. Flume experiments are presented in which a ...
Effect of Bed Sand Content on the Turbulent Flows Associated with Clusters on an Armored Gravel Bed Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a gravel bed river armors, a bed surface often develops clusters as part of its structure. The influence of sand on armoring and the impact of clusters on the surrounding flow processes were investigated through flume ...
Importance of Hydrology on Channel Evolution Following Dam Removal: Case Study and Conceptual Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A slow draining reservoir on the U.S. East Coast was monitored to identify the processes governing channel evolution upstream of a dam removal. Channel evolution was documented through cross section surveys, sediment size ...
Erosion and Deposition around Porous Engineered Log Jams: Flume Experiments and Improved Predictive Formulas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wood reintroduction into rivers, such as the construction of engineered log jams (ELJs), is increasingly popular in river restoration. ELJs are widely used because they mimic natural hydraulics and are relatively easy to ...
