Experimental study of granular bed erosion and sedimentation subjugated to the secondary flow structures in curved ducts

This article presents an experimental study on the dynamic behaviour of granular material that forms the bed of a curved fluid flow passage. The secondary vortex structures induced by the passage curvature profoundly influence the stability of the granular material and determine the varying bed prof...
