Flume Lab
Fluvial Geomorphology, Module 6
Define and/or explain each of the concepts below with text (1-3 sentences) and illustrate your observation of them. Your ‘illustration” can use video(s) with narration and or labels, and/or photos with annotations. If helpful, feel free to hyperlink to other resources.
I would suggest using the numbers below to organize your page into headings and sub-headings.
Items in bold are concepts you should make sure you are taking pictures of and/or recording during the lab (that should also be explained with accompanying text afterwards). Items not bolded are analyses you can do after the lab.
Concepts to Illustrate & Explain
1. Flume Controls
How do you control the following with the flume:
[ ] 1.1Q (Water Discharge)
[ ] 1.2S (Slope)
[ ] 1.3 Qs (Sediment Discharge)
[ ] 1.4 Profile
[ ] 1.5 Base Level
2. Fluvial Geomorphic Processes
Simulate and record your observations of:
[ ] 2.1 Bed Erosion
[ ] 2.2 Bank Erosion
[ ] 2.3 Deposition
[ ] 2.4 Sediment Transport
3. Fluvial Geomorphic Mechanisms
Simulate and record your observations of the specific manifestation of fluvial geomorphic processes as these mechanisms of adjustment:
[ ] 3.1 Grain Size Sorting
[ ] 3.2 Meandering
[ ] 3.3 Braiding
[ ] 3.4 Avulsion
[ ] 3.5 Chute Dissection
[ ] 3.6 Structural Forcing
Answer (in up to a paragraph or so and with illustrations if helpful):
[ ] 3.7 While meandering can be observed, were you able to produce a classic single-thread, meandering channel in any of your experiments? If so, explain how it occurred, if not, do you think it is possible with the controls you had at your disposal in this flume?
4. Events
Simulate and record your observations of three specific events::
[ ] 4.1 Small Flood
[ ] 4.2 Big Flood
[ ] 4.3 Channel Realignment (Grading)
Analysis
Answer (in up to a paragraph or so and with illustrations if helpful):
[ ] 4.4 From what you did, what seems to be the roll/impact of small flood vs. big flood?
[ ] 4.5 In your experimentation, did you observe overbank flows, bankfull flows and/or baseflow flows?
[ ] 4.6 What role did hyporehic flow play in what you observed?
[ ] 4.7 What roll did recession limb flows seem to play in what you observed?
