Abstract: The theory of submerged vanes described in the companion paper is tested with laboratory and field data. The laboratory data are from experiments in curved, and straight, recirculating sediment flumes. The field data are ...

Abstract: Recent research results with the submerged‐vane technique for sediment control in rivers are described. Submerged vanes are small flow‐training structures (foils), designed to modify the near‐bed flow pattern and redistribute ...

Abstract: Submerged vanes are shown to be effective in preventing bed load transport from entering water intakes. By generating a secondary circulation in the flow, the vanes change the magnitude and direction of the bed-shear ...
