Inception of gravel bed motion beneath tidal bores: an experimental study
Abstract: A tidal bore is a positive surge taking place during the flood tide under macro-tidal conditions and the bore represents the leading edge of the tidal wave propagating upstream. The fundamentals of tidal bores remain unknown, although some physical experiments were performed during the last two decades. In this study, some physical modelling was performed to investigate the tidal bore...
متن کاملMotion of a Yawed Supercavitating Wedge Beneath a Free Surface
The problem that is studied concerns a yawed wedge under a free surface, moving at a uniform speed. The model involves a trailing cavity whose boundary is a dividing streamline through the vertex of the wedge. The cavity closure mechanism is described according to the Tulin– Terent’ev single-spiral-vortex model. A closed-form solution to the governing nonlinear boundaryvalue problem is found by...
متن کاملRegional-scale bed roughness beneath ice masses: measurement and analysis
We outline a method of assessing the roughness of the bed beneath ice-masses, applicable to data collected in a wide variety of (glaciated) environments. Roughness at scales 410m in particular is poorly constrained and understood in glaciated systems, and regional geophysical surveys collected over the past 30 years are ideally suited to addressing this issue. We demonstrate the technique using...
متن کاملSoft-bed experiments beneath Engabreen, Norway: regelation infiltration, basal slip and bed deformation
To avoid some of the limitations of studying soft-bed processes through boreholes, a prism of simulated till (1.8m 1.6m 0.45m) with extensive instrumentation was constructed in a trough blasted in the rock bed of Engabreen, a temperate glacier in Norway. Tunnels there provide access to the bed beneath 213m of ice. Pore-water pressure was regulated in the prism by pumping water to it. During exp...
متن کاملCalculating bed load transport in steep boulder bed channels
[1] Steep, rough channels occupy a large fraction of the total channel length in mountainous regions. Most sediment mobilized on hillslopes must pass through these streams before reaching lower-gradient channels. Steep channels have wide grain size distributions that are composed of finer, more mobile sediment and large, rarely mobile grains. The large grains can bear a significant portion of t...
