Infiltration of fine sediment into a coarse mobile bed: a phenomenological study

Abstract: Experiments were undertaken to study the nature of granular interaction in running water by examining the influence of fine grain inputs to a coarser sediment bed with a mobile surface. Video recordings of grain sorting by both kinetic sieving and spontaneous percolation are used to diagnose the critical processes controlling the overall bed response. Kinetic sieving takes place in the mobile bed surface, with the finer sediment moving to the bottom of the bedload transport layer at the interface with the unde… Show more

“…The Dudill et al () experiments were undertaken in a different laboratory (at Irstea, Centre de Grenoble), but with a comparable flume arrangement. In agreement with the flume utilised for the experiments presented herein, the flume at Irstea was of 10.3 mm width, 10.1% slope, with the experiments utilising bimodal mixtures in supercritical flows.…”

“…Table gives a description of the infiltration profiles for each grain size ratio in each experimental set; infiltration profiles were designated based on visual (qualitative) observations of the experiments and video recordings. For comparison, the results of Dudill et al () (with spherical glass beads) have been included in Table .…”

“…Dudill et al () examined the infiltration of fine grains into a mobile coarse bed over a range of GSRs using idealized spherical sediments. Beyond the fundamental control on sediment mobility imposed by the size of the grains available on the bed surface, they hypothesized that the enhancement of mobility following a fine grain input is, in part, controlled by the infiltration behavior and therefore is a function of D c / D f .…”

“…Focusing on vertical size segregation, the infiltration of fine sediment into an immobile coarse bed has been extensively studied in fluvial geomorphology because of ecological considerations especially related to the reproduction of salmonids [4]. However when the coarse bed is moving, another type of infiltration named kinetic sieving can take place even with a coarse to fine diameter size ratio close to unity.…”
