Flume Photos

Here are some photos and videos of different constant flow flume runs, hydrographs to follow!

​Flume Photos:

  • After flow @ 0.5L/s for 10 hours
Picture

  • After flow @ 0.7L/s (roughly bankfull) for 8 hours
Picture
After 2 hours of flow
Picture
Channel after 8 hours of flow
Picture
Bars and meanders after 2 hours

  • Flow @ 0.9L/s for 3.75hrs (until channel began to braid)

  • Flow @ 1.2L/s for 1 hours

  • Flow from 1.6-2.0L/s

  • For comparison, these photos were taken after 8 hours of 1.6L/s and 2.2L/s flow with a coarser bed (10% of the material was coarser than 5.6mm, whereas 0% is coarser than 5.6mm in the photos from above)
