Velocity Profile and Turbulence Structure Measurement Corrections for Sediment Transport-Induced Water-Worked Bed

When using point measurement for environmental or sediment laden flows, there is well-recognised risk not having aligned measurements that causes misinterpretation of the measured velocity data. In reality, these kinds mismeasurement mainly happen due to bed orientation caused by complexity its determination in natural especially bedload rough flows. This study proposes a novel realignment method improve data benchmarking three-dimensional (3D) profile and implemented it into different sets experimental More specifically, effects on streamwise turbulence structure were investigated. The proposed technique was tested against collected over water-worked an experimentally arranged well-packed beds. Different from bed, has been generated after long transport settling hence can be used verify bed-alignment thoroughly. During flow analysis, corrected velocity, intensity Reynolds stress profiles compared theoretical logarithmic law, exponential law linear gravity (universal distribution) profiles, respectively. It observed improved agreement with their actual particularly near-bed region (where ratio vertical distance total water depth, z/h, limited ≤0.4).
