Field evaluation of empirical equations in straight alluvial channels

Auteur :
WELFORD, M.R.

Description :
Six experimentally derived formulae that predict the conditions for alternate bar formation and equilibrium bar dimensions are assessed using field data. The study site is an artificially straightened section of the Embarras River located 16 km south of Champaign, Illinois. Data were collected on channel form, gradient, alternate bar dimensions, bar sediment size, and flow conditions over a two-year study period.
