In order to study and understand the characteristics of transport and depositions of floating objects in real rivers, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method of real river flows with complex bathymetry, the riparian vegetation and the floating objects has been developed and applied to a meandering river in Perak, Malaysia. The movement and accumulation of floating objects are different for different sizes and the shapes of the objects. The vegetation that may exists on the bed and the banks also are seen to influence the positions where the objects are accumulated and deposited. The results can be used to control the increasing amount of solid objects washed into the rivers and to the ocean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
