Sediment transported through the Emflume, Note the fine strath (red) covered by a traction carpet. Saltating and supspended load also visible.
The only thing I would wish for in the design is a little more working room so that you can develop bedforms like climbing ripples, laminations, and antidunes, although I didn't get a lot of time to putz around with the flume itself, so it might already have these capabilities by adjusting some of the parameters more carefully.
I'm making a request for an example of what kayakers would call a hole or hydraulic. Upstream directed circulation near the water surface and how that looks at slow motion with transport of particles that have negative, neutral, and positive buoyancy.
ReplyDeleteJustin,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea - Steve Gough has some examples like this over at the SERC website: http://serc.carleton.edu/details/files/19075.html
But getting more examples of whitewater kayaking situations sounds like a fun challenge.
