Preliminary evidence on laboratory experiments to detect the impact of transient flow on bedload transport

Experimental methods and instrumentation in hydraulics

“…This required fixing the instrumental parameters to the expected velocity magnitude along the entire profile from almost zero very close to the wall to flow core velocity outside the boundary layer (Liu et al 2022). The transient flow effect on bedload transport was successfully investigated by image and ultrasound-based techniques (Przyborowski et al 2022) that again bore out the capability of advanced techniques in observing challenging processes in terms of spatial and time resolution required. The river's hydro-morphology is driven by both bedload and suspended load, which is especially impactful for engineers.…”
