Modeling high sinuosity meanders in a small flume
Meandering channels with exposed point bars and sinuosities near 2.0 can spontaneously develop in a mix of diatomaceous earth and kaolinite clay. The experimental streams that were studied were as small as 4 cm wide. They showed many of the characteristics found in large meandering streams such as migration of channels, formation of point bars, clay plugs, chutes and bar scrolls. Most of the me...
متن کاملGravity wave turbulence in a laboratory flume.
We present an experimental study of the statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in a flume of a horizontal size 12 x 6 m. For a wide range of amplitudes the wave energy spectrum was found to scale as Eomega approximately omega(-nu) in a frequency range of up to one decade. However, nu appears to be nonuniversal: it depends on the wave intensity and ranges from about 6 to 4. We discuss our...
متن کاملFormation of Stationary Alternate Bars in a Steep Channel with Mixed-size Sediment: a Flume Experiment
Alternate bars were formed by sediment transport in a flume with Froude-modelled flow and relative roughness characteristic of gravel-boulder channels with steep slopes. The flume (0.3 m wide x 7.5 m long) was filled with a sand-gravel mixture, which was also fed into the top of the flume at a constant rate under constant discharge. Channel slope was set at 0.03. Initially, coarse particles acc...
متن کاملSeiching in a Large Wave Flume
INTRODUCTION The Cross-shore Transport Experiment (CROSSTEX) is a multi-investigator, multi-university, scientific research project centered around a coordinated series of near-prototype scale experiments that were conducted at Oregon State University's O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory (HWRL) during the summer of 2005 (Maddux et al, 2006). The experiments took place in the 104m long, 3.7m...
متن کاملFlow Characteristics in a Rotating Circular Flume
Increased construction activity and associated receiving water concerns in the Greater Toronto Area has prompted this study to advance our knowledge on cohesive sediment transport processes in rivers and lake environments. Flow characteristics in a rotating circular flume at the National Water Research Institute (NWRI), Burlington, Ontario were studied using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
