Hydraulic control of grain size distributions and differential transport rates of bedload gravels Oak Creek, Oregon

Creator:

Shih, Shyuer-ming

Abstract:

Grain-size distributions of gravels transported as bedload in Oak Creek, Oregon, show systematic variations with changing flow discharges. At low discharges the gravel distributions are nearly symmetrical and Gaussian. As discharges increase, the distributions become more skewed and follow the ideal Rosin distribution. The patterns of variations are established by...

Monitoring individual particle transport in a gravel bedded stream using a passive radio transponder system, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:

Childers, Elayne S.

Abstract:

Gathering empirical data on the factors and processes affecting bedload transport in the field is difficult. This project conducted during the winter of 1996 field tested a new passive method of positively tracking individual particle movement. The project was conducted in Oak Creek, a gravel bedded stream, located in Corvallis,...

Spatial and temporal trends in bed material and channel morphology below a hydroelectric dam complex, Deschutes River, Oregon

Creator:

McClure, Ellen M.

Abstract:

River regulation imposes changes in the supply of sediment and the frequency of competent flows. As a result, impounded rivers often exhibit downstream changes in channel processes, particle size, and morphology. The magnitude of change in competent flow frequency and sediment load together can be used to predict the pattern...
