Animations for WRR paper "The effects of vegetation on braided stream pattern and dynamics" by Tom Coulthard |
| Video 1. This is from series 1, and shows how a braided channel develops from flat or planed initial conditions. Here flow is from R-L, at 4l/s-1. The section shown is 2m wide, by just over 9m long. The duration is 1 hour with a frame every minute. A close up of the centre section can be found here - as an animated GIF file. | Video 2. This follows on from the previous animation - where the flume has been planted at a density of 8 plants/m^2. Flow and duration are as above. Again, a close up of the centre section can be found here. |
|
Video 3. This loops the above two animations together, so the full sequence of channel evolution and how plants effect the pattern and dynamics can be seen.

Video 4. This is an oblique view from a trial run not featured in the paper, but is generated from video footage, as opposed to still pictures used in the above. It records a 1 hour run, from planed conditions, with plants and provides a more 'real time' view of how the islands develop behind the plants. It is speeded up by a factor of 10. |
