Large smooth cylindrical elements located in a rectangular channel : upstream hydraulic conditions and drag force evaluation

Classical approaches to evaluate the stability of large woody debris (LWD) introduced in streams for habitat restoration or flood management purposes are usually based on inappropriate assumptions and hydraulic equations. Results suggest that the physics of small cylindrical elements located in larg...
