Bed Evolution Processes after Falling Works Removal

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Bed evolution processes in both the upstream and downstream of a falling works after its partial removal were investigated experimentally. Numerical simulation model for bed evolution with a 2-D unstructured mesh was also developed and applied to the datasets obtained in the experiments and the field. Equilibrium bed configurations and their developing processes are influenced by several parameters such as initial setup of the structure, its removal shape and bed material distributions. The results indicate that complex 3-D flow behavior and resultant sediment motions including their sorting induced after the removal are the crucial issues for application to real rivers.
