Channel extension and avulsion

Posted on March 16, 2016

Nilay Iscen has started running a new set of fan experiments. The time lapse video below highlights channel extension, filling, and avulsion under two different water discharge values; sediment feed rate was held constant throughout, and the darker sediment colors correlate with coarser material.
