Abstract

A large number of studies both theoretical and experimental have been devoted to understand the physical mechanisms underlying the bar formation. This can be investigated by carrying out an experimental work in an erodible sand bed channel using a large-scale physical river model. The study included the various hydraulic characteristics with steady flow rates and sediment supply. An experimental work consists of four matrices of flow rate and channel width with other variables namely grains size and bed slope were kept constant. Details of bar profile development that generated using Surfer, a software used for 3D elevation plots are included.
