Suspended-load experiments in a curved flume, run no. 1

A laboratory experiment in a 180 degree curved flume with a mobile bed and suspended sediment transport is described. The flow is stationary. The main purpose of the experiment is to provide data to calibrate and test morphological models for river bend flow with suspended sediment. The bed topography is measured by means of an profile indicator...

A curved flume bed-load experiment

In this report the results of a bed-load experiment in a curved flume are presented. The experiments have been carried out in the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics (L.F.M.) at the Delft University of Technology. The main object of the experiments is to develop and to test data-acquisition procedures for future suspended-load experiments. At the same...
