Sediment exchange between the main channel and the groyne fields of a river

Report on a physical scale model test in the Fluid Mechanics lab on the effect of groynes on the bed and sediment transport in rivers.

Modelling of sediment transport: Link in a chain

Rather than reporting on a specific topic of current research in the broad field of sediment transport and river morphology, the writer will give a general contemplation on the state of the art. This will not be a review in the usual sense. The alloted space would then be filled easily with references. References will only be made here if it...

Morphological computations

Lecture notes sediment transport in rivers, formulas and numerical models.

Analytical and experimental study of bed load distribution at alluvial diversions

It has long been observed that at most canal bifurcations the water diverted to the branch does not carry sediment in direct proportion to the rate of flow. Usually, the major part of sediment reaching a bifurcation is diverted into the small branches. This phenomenon has always bothered engineers responsible for the maintenance of irrigation...
