 Abstract

A laboratory experiment in a 180 degree curved flume with a mobile bed and suspended sediment transport is reported. The flow is steady. The bed topography is measured by means of a profile indicator. Free and forced alternating bars are present. The steady part of the bed topography, which is forced by curvature, is characterized by a below critical response of the transverse bed slope. Downstream of the bend entrance overdeepening occurs, this is repeated with a somewhat smaller amplitude further downstream. Suspended sediment concentrations are measured.
