Abstract |
In this study experiments in laboratory tanks with vegetation bed are performedfor the investigation of the effect of cross sectional shape on the movement of gravity currents. For this reason a series of experiments for rectangular and composite (upper rectangular and lower trapezoidal) cross-section are carried out. The results show that the different crosssection influences significantly the motion and the front velocity of gravity currents. Keywords- Gravity Currents, Lock-Exchange Experimental, Vegetated Bed, Front Velocity. | |||||||||
