Local Head Loss Coefficients of Riffle Pools in Gravel-Bed Rivers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Case studies of energy loss over bed forms in gravel-bed rivers are needed to determine local loss coefficients for modeling and design. In this study, an intense field campaign in two rivers is used to determine energy ...
Design and Performance of a Radio Frequency Identification Scanning System for Sediment Tracking in a Purpose-Built Experimental Channel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sediment transport studies that use radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are now common in hydraulic studies because of the information the technique provides on the spatial and temporal variability of sediment ...
Shear Stress and Hydrodynamic Recovery over Bedforms of Different Lengths in a Straight Channel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pools and riffles are common morphological features in rivers that are frequently used but poorly specified analogs in restoration design. Here, straight two-dimensional (2D) bedforms are conceptualized as perturbations ...
Design, Construction, and Destruction in the Classroom: Experiential Learning with Earthen Dams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Early in their career, engineering students sometimes have difficulty linking academic concepts between courses and the interests that led to their enrollment. We present a design “interlude” event that is intended to ...
