Experimental Study on Pore Water Pressure and Sediment Transport by Oscillatory Flow with Pressure Change

Abstract

Pore water pressure and sand transport occurred by oscillatory flow with pressure change, oscillatory flow and pressure change are experimentally studied. The pressure propagations into sand beds by oscillatory flow with pressure change are better than by merely pressure change. The wave height of sand ripples generated by oscillatory flow with pressure change decreases with increase of pressure change.
