Abstract: Pressure flushing of deposited sediments behind large dam walls causes development of a funnel-shaped crater due to the induced vortex and considerable shear flow around the outlets. Laboratory experiments were conducted ...

Abstract: The fall velocity of fine particles was measured in a column of height 2.50 m and diameter of 0.30 m to model the settling properties of cohesive sediments in lakes and large reservoirs. In contrast to the traditional ...
