Physical River Model Results and Prototype Response

by Tom Pokreke, US Army of Engineer Waterways, Experiment Station, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Soil Properties Evaluation from Centrifugal Models and Field Performance

Abstract:

The Hydraulics Laboratory of the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has performed physical hydraulic model studies on various rivers for nearly 60 years. These studies have used both fixed-bed and movable-bed type models and range from either undistorted to highly distorted. This paper discusses five studies conducted by WES.
