An Experiment on the Mechanism of Sedimentation Due to Tractional Process in Reservoir (2)

Hydraulical observations of experimental results

Abstract

Based on the results obtained from a series of experiments on the mechanism of sedimentation in reservoir through tractional process, an investigation was carried out, chiefly from the hydraulic standpoint, on the rate of sediment transportation on sand dunes, on the relation between the rate and tractive force, and also on the gradient of sediment surface.
An analysis of mechanism of sorting and general conclusions will be reported subsequently.
