Measurements of velocity distributions, depth variation, and sediment transport have been made under bankfull and overbank flow conditions in meandering channels with a graded sand bed, using the large-scale U.K. Flood Channel Facility. The overbank conditions depend upon the relative strength of opposing secondary circulation cells generated by sh...

A large scale model hydraulic study of inbank and overbank river flow, using a regular sinuous river channel with a mobile bed, was carried out in the UK Flood Channel Facility at Hydraulics Research, Wallingford. The sediment chosen for this investigation had a wide range of particle sizes present, covering the fine sand to coarse sand range. Meas...

A series of experiments are reported on the conveyance of over-bank mobile bed meandering channels, using the UK Flood Channel Facility at HR Wallingford. The sides of the inner channel were fixed whilst the bed was formed of graded material with a d50 of 1.6 mm. The floodplains were either smooth or, for most experiments, artificially roughened us...

physical (hydraulic) modelling of river systems subject to overbank flow require the simulation of floodplain roughness. significant full and reduced scale experiments have now been carried out to establish the flow resistance of a range of real and simulated floodplain vegetation. one use for this improved knowledge of hoodplain hydraulics is to p...

A large-scale model hydraulic study of inbank and overbank river flow, using a regular sinuous river channel with a mobile bed, was carried out in the Flood Channel Facility at HR Wallingford, UK. The selected sediment had a wide range of particle sizes present over the 'fine sand to coarse sand' range. Flow velocity, local and global sediment tran...
