Surface water flow resistance due to emergent wetland vegetation
… for use in wetland design. A 6-m by 1-m by 0.4-m recirculating flume was planted with mature common rush, Juncus effusus, a common emergent wetland plant. Three different flow rates (3, 4, and 5 L/s) and three different tailgate heights (0, 2.5, and 5 cm) were used to simulate a variety of wetland …

Estimating Flow Through Rock Weirs
… predictions of flow through rock weirs. A flume study was conducted to develop a rock weir equation and discharge coefficients. Scaled model rock weirs were tested in a 1 m x 8 m x 0.4 m recirculating flume. Rock weirs varied by length (0.152 m, 0.305 m, and 0.457 m), depth (0.152 m and …

Do Muds Sort? Experimental Test of a Hypothesis Key to Understanding Marine Bottom Currents
… silt' hypothesis in the laboratory, a non-recirculating flume was constructed in which silt and clay could be deposited under a variety of velocities, sediment concentrations, and silt to clay ratios. Samples of the deposited material from each experiment were analyzed to determine the …

Effect of water temperature on cohesive soil erosion
… soil were placed in the wall of a recirculating flume channel using a vertical sample orientation. Erosion rate was measured under a range of shear stresses (0.1-20 Pa) for a period of five minutes per shear stress at water temperatures of 12, 20, and 27�"C. The zeta potential was …

Do Roots Bind Soil? Comparing the Physical and Biological Role of Plant Roots in Streambank Fluvial Erosion
… using a mini jet erosion testing device and a recirculating flume channel to address this goal. Several soil and vegetation factors that influence fluvial entrainment, like extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), soil aggregate stability and root length density, were measured following …

Wake characteristics associated with logjams to inform river restoration
… wake generated by each logjam was analyzed in a recirculating flume for velocity, turbulence, and fine sediment deposition. All logjams displayed increased velocity in the unobstructed side and decreased velocity downstream of the logjam side. Varying the solid volume fraction had little …

Native And Invasive Competitors Of The Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica In Mosquito Lagoon, Florida
… oyster larvae were run in still water and flow (recirculating flume) using all barnacle density treatments. Additionally, all treatments with 7-day oyster spat were deployed in the field to follow oyster spat growth and survivorship. Settlement was counted by microscopy, and growth and …
