Generación de formas de fondo en el canal hidráulico ASSUT-1: Experiencia inicial

Abstract

Some experiments on transport and accumulation of sediments have been produced as examples of the possibilities of the ASSUT-1 hydraulic channel. Water volume and the channel gradient have been kept constant during the sedimentary experiment.The bed forms generation has been documented through series of pictures. They have been the base for a group of different cartons which illustrates the relationships between the hydraulic conditions and the associated bed forms.The bed forms generated (rhomboid, linguoid, parabolic, lunar and sinuous) were formed in special conditions that the water surface irregularities were in phase
