Thu Jan 24, 01-04:00pm, N9, (LEES, 68 Albany St)
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: None
This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the mechanics of fluid flow over an erodible bed that produces ripples and dunes commonly observed on sandy beaches and river bottoms. A laboratory flume will be used to directly observe the sediment transport and to establish the stability fields for the bedforms as a function of flow parameters.
