Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes,
and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river
beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was
achieved by a systematic flume study based on the results of
dimensional analysis of local scour.
The main tested obstacles for local scour were cubes....
A flume study was conducted to investigate the influences of
changing hydraulic conditions on the bed morphology of a scoured pool.
During a simulated storm runoff event, responses of the pool were
tested under different conditions: clearwater flow, sediment supply at
steady rates, and two different sediment mixtures of the...
Strong tidal currents experienced at Keystone Harbor, WA, have caused navigational hazards and disrupted ferry service in the area. This thesis presents details of the design, construction and implementation of a large scale physical model of Keystone Harbor used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed jetty design alternatives to improve...
