Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation of fluid flow in a channel with an erodible and profiled rigid bottom are presented. The kinematic parameters of the flow were measured with a laser Doppler anemometer. The experimental data were interpreted using a linear model of potential flow over bottom roughness.
