Abstract: Presented are insights from three-dimensional numerical models used to identify optimal performance configurations of rock vanes and bendway weirs placed in midsize rivers, such as the Middle Reach of the Rio Grande. These ...

Abstract: Consequences are presented from flume experiments regarding bed scour at rock vanes and bendway weirs constructed of loose rock placed on sand bed channels. The experiments involved three flow discharges adjusted to replicate ...

Abstract: This paper presents findings from large-flume tests conducted to determine the velocity magnitudes at which water flow dislodges rocks from bendway weirs (BWs), rock structures used primarily to control thalweg alignment ...
