| description |
This study demonstrates the migration and growth pattern of meanders with respect to
different flow rate and sediment load. This topic was chosen because there is no
research on meander migration has been conducted in Malaysia although it has
attracted researchers worldwide. The knowledge on meanders is important, not only
because it changes the geometry of the river but it also can cause threats to the people
and properties. With more than 150 rivers throughout Malaysia, the knowledge on
meander behavior is important to avoid problems associated with poor planning of the
development at riverside. 8 sets of experiments have been conducted using Annfield
S12 MKII Advanced Hydrology Study System at the Faculty ofEngineering, UNISEL
Bestari Jaya Campus. The experiments were conducted under controlled environment
with the flow rate and sediment load as the variable parameters while the other factors
that can affect meander growth and migration are kept constant. The changes in cross
section were measured and 3D surface was generated using Surfer 9 to analyze the
effect of variation in flow rate and sediment load to the erosion, transportation and
deposition processes that involved in meander growth and migration. The relationship
between flow rate and sediment load with the migration and growth pattern of
meanders can be correlated and elaborated well in Chapter 4 of this dissertation. |
