Flume Experiments for Flow Around Debris Accumulation at a Bridge
KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering(2024)
摘要
We conducted flume experiments to study the flow behavior around a debris accumulation at a two-pier bridge. An Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry was utilized to measure velocity in cases with and without debris. We examined the impact of this accumulation on the velocity field and bed shear stress to better understand the flow and sediment transport mechanisms near the debris buildup at the bridge. Debris clusters were found to cause strong downward flows behind the bridge piers and to create turbulent shear layers emanating from the debris base. These flow patterns caused an increase in bed shear stress behind the piers by up to 40%. Downstream of the bridge, the debris-induced bed shear stress increase persisted for a distance equivalent to four times the spacing between the piers.
