Turbulent flow structures and morphological characteristics of mining affected alluvial channel

Abstract

Research on in stream sand mining is imperative as it may have a significant impact on channel morphology Following this quest to quantitatively comprehend this phenomenon experimental studies were carried out to investigate the impact of sand mining on hydrodynamics and channel morphology The channel bed profile shows erosion at the bank of the pit and that the erosion expands to the whole width of the channel and propagates downstream with time The turbulent structures of the flow have bee
