Water flow and sediment transport at open-channel confluences: an experimental study

The knowledge of the dynamics of urban channel confluences is insufficient as most past studies have focused on natural river confluences. This paper reports experimental observations on bed morphology and hydrodynamics of the urban confluences and their dependence to the discharge ratio. Typical hy...
