Description :
This paper presents the results of a movable-boundary, distorted, Froude-scaled hydraulic model based on Abiaca Creek, a sand-bedded channel in northern Mississippi. The model was used to examine the geomorphic and hydraulic impact of simplified large woody debris (LWD) elements. The theory used to scale the field prototype is discussed, the model construction and scaling criteria are presented, and the results obtained from the model channel are compared with the prototype channel.
