Turbulence in open channels : an experimental study of turbulence structure over boundaries of differing hydrodynamic roughness

River channels modify their boundaries by entrainment and transfer of sediment. The flow represents a turbulent boundary layer which must be examined to understand the relation between channel morphology and its modifying flow. Discrete roughness elements with variable spacings were used, in flume e...
