Nonlinearity and complexity in gravel bed dynamics
The dynamics of river bed evolution are known to be notoriously complex affected by near-bed turbulence, the collective motion of clusters of particles of different sizes, and the formation of bedforms and other large-scale features. In this paper, we present the results of a study aiming to quantify the inherent nonlinearity and complexity in gravel bed dynamics. The data analyzed are bed elev...
متن کاملFine bed material in pools of natural gravel bed channels
Natural gravel bed channels commonly contain a fine mode of sand and fine gravel that fills voids of the bed framework of coarser gravel. If the supply of fine bed material exceeds the storage capacity of framework voids, excess fine material forms surficial patches, which can be voluminous in pools during low flow. Data collected in 34 natural channels in northern California and southern Orego...
متن کاملEquivalent roughness of gravel-bed rivers
The relation between the equivalent roughness and different grain size percentiles of the sediment in gravel-bed rivers was determined under the hypothesis that the vertical distribution of the flow velocity follows a logarithmic law. A set of 954 data points was selected from rivers with gravel size sediment or larger, with a non-sinuous alignment and free of vegetation or obstacles. According...
متن کاملThe complexity of gravel bed river topography examined with gradual wavelet reconstruction
This study analyzes the nonlinear nature of gravel bed elevation data series obtained in a large scale flume facility for four different discharges, including spatial transect series and temporal series at a fixed location. The goals are to infer the degree of complexity, to assess the scales and features in the signals that mostly contribute to this complexity, and to discern the difference in...
متن کاملFine Sediment Infiltration Dynamics in a Gravel-bed River following a Sediment Pulse
Pulses of fine sediment in gravel-bedded rivers can cause extensive fine sediment infiltration (FSI) into void spaces in coarse bed material, potentially altering river morphodynamics and aquatic ecosystems. Previous work suggests a conceptual model of FSI whereby FSI occurs to a limited depth as a function of the relative grain size of bed sediment compared with infiltrating sediment and is in...
