Width of laminar laboratory rivers.
A viscous fluid flowing over plastic grains spontaneously generates single-thread channels. With time, these laminar analogues of alluvial rivers reach a reproducible steady state, showing a well-defined width and cross section. In the absence of sediment transport, their shape conforms with the threshold hypothesis which states that, at equilibrium, the combined effects of gravity and flow-ind...
متن کاملThe influence of the opening width of check dams on bedload continuity of mountain rivers
The design of open check dams at mountain rivers for flood protection has an essential impact on the sediment budget of downstream river reaches. A key issue is the bedload transfer hindering and retention which can be influenced by the geometry of the openings of check dams. Contemporary design concepts provoke the retention of too much or insufficient bedload with regard to the downstream tra...
متن کاملLaboratory Study of the Lightning Attractive Width for Transmission Lines
This research focuses on an investigation of the attractive width of high voltage transmission lines to lightning strokes. In order to design the optimal lightning protection, the estimated number of lightning flashes to the line, which is based on its attractive width, needs to be determined. The investigation was performed using experiments with tested models at the Mississippi State Universi...
متن کاملControls on the channel width of rivers: Implications for modeling fluvial incision of bedrock
On the basis of the Manning equation and basic mass conservation principles, we derive an expression for scaling the steadystate width (W) of river channels as a function of discharge (Q), channel slope (S), roughness (n), and width-to-depth ratio (!): W " [!(! # 2)2/3]3/8Q3/8S$3/16n3/8. We propose that channel width-todepth ratio, in addition to roughness, is a function of the material in whic...
متن کاملRivers of Evidence
There has been too much of a one-way flow drift down a river of evidence. Researchers from rich countries have produced the primary evidence which they proceed to summarise within reviews. These summaries have directed care worldwide. However, things are changing and the river of evidence can flow in the other direction. The care of women with eclampsia has been changed or refined throughout th...
