| Title | The Need for Full-Scale Experiments in River Science |
| Creator | Wilcock, Peter Orr, C. H. Marr, J. D.G. |
| Description | Studying river processes in the laboratory offers important advantages, particularly the opportunity for precise experimental control and the ability to isolate specific processes. There is, however, a key trade-off. To control essential variables and support tractable technical measurements, experiments are typically conducted at a reduced scale, which introduces a potential loss of realism. The methods and limitations of scale modeling are well developed in some aspects of river science... |
