The independent variables studied were the flow velocity, the jet size, the grain sine, and the water temperature.Three Closely sized grades of bed material were used, and their median diameters were 0. 273mm, 0. 050mm, and 0. 030mm. The jet velocities varied from 0. 30m/s to 1. 10m/s for the coarse sediment (D =0. 273mm), and from 0. 30m/s to 0. 70m/s for the fine grades (D = 0. 050mm , and D= 0. 030mm). The jet size was set to 3. 18mm, 6, 35mm, and 9. 53mm for each grade size, and the water temperature varied from about 60 degrees Fahrenheit to about 85 degrees Fahrenheit.The independent variables were analyzed using dimensional analysis. Three dimentsionless Parameters, namely U(=pu2/ΔpgD), B(b/D), and G(=ΔpgD3/pv2), were obtained. These parameters enabled a close correlation of all experimental results. Other studies were also found to correlate well with these parameters.展开更多
