| Title | Experimental Study of the Response of a Gravel Streambed to Increased Sediment Supply |
| Creator | Podolak, C. J.P. Wilcock, Peter |
| Description | If increased sediment supply to a river channel exceeds its transport capacity, deposition necessarily occurs as the bed adjusts to accommodate the increased supply. Both the mean and spatial patterns in bed elevation and grain size may change and an ability to understand their relative importance is needed to predict bed response. We report on an experiment in a field-scale flume in which sediment supply is increased to a gravel bed with alternate bars. Sediment was recirculated in the... |
