Sediment Transport and Scour Around Spur Dikes - Comparison in Emriver Em4
We used our custom mix of color-coded moveable media in our Emriver Em4 stream table to compare the sediment deformation patterns around groins (spur dikes) placed at various angles. Inspiration for this experiment comes from this research paper: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/...
and this one:
