Determining environmental flow requirements for substrate maintenance in cobble and boulder bed rivers in South Africa
To ensure a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem in cobble and boulder bed rivers, it is imperative that the channel bed is maintained. In pristine catchments this is achieved by the range of flows characteristic of the natural flow regime, which typically incorporates “maintenance” flood flows of different timing, duration and frequency. The construction of dams however, leads to a change in the f...
متن کاملControl of Scour around the Submarine Pipelines in the River Bed
This paper presents, a set of experiments was conducted in a Plexiglas flume setup to investigate the simultaneous use of pipe and blade in the scour control around a submerged pipe. A vertical cylindrical pipe with and without a blade placed below it was selected for the experiments. The experiments were carried out in two different sates: with blade and without blade the pipe. Moreover, they ...
متن کاملUncertainties in Evaluation of the Sediment Transport Rates in Typical Coarse-Bed Rivers in Iran
Flow and sediment transport processes are different and more complex in coarse-bed rivers than in sand-bed rivers. The main goal of the present study is to evaluate different modes of sediment transport using different hydrometric and hydraulic methods, and to address the major uncertainties. Four river reaches were selected as representatives of coarse-bed rivers in the Northwest of Iran. A se...
متن کاملTheeffectof settlingvelocityon the transport of mussel larvae in a cobble-bed river: Water column and near-bed turbulence
Simple transport models predict that the distance organisms drift downstream in rivers is determined by their settling velocity (ws), the release height (zr), and the stream velocity (U). Unfortunately, empirical evidence is lacking on whether and how factors such as ws affect mussel larvae dispersion in rivers under natural turbulent conditions. The main goal of this study was to examine how U...
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...
