Abstract:

The dynamic development of sediment infiltration in gravel-bed rivers is not entirely understood yet because existing methods are unable to cope with the high Spatio-temporal variability of the involved processes. Therefore, high-resolution and non-intrusive measurements of governing parameters are required to unravel the interactions of the multifaceted processes involved in the clogging or colmation phenomenon. This study presents high-resolution measurements of the dynamic process of sediment infiltration and the development of sediment accumulations in an artificial riverbed under laboratory conditions using an advanced non-intrusive and undisturbed method.
