| Abstract: | In this study, the turbulent flow structure over the ripples at the bed of open channel was investigated experimentally. An
analysis of bursting process was used to recognize the susceptible regions for sediment entrainment and deposition over the
ripples. Two artificial ripples were built according to the ripples, formed by nature. Three different configurations of ripples
were used by changing the wavelength. According to analysis of bursting event it was found that at the stoss side of ripples,
quadrants (II) and (IV) were dominant to the quadrants (I) and (III) and at the lee side of the ripple it was vice versa.
Also the transition probabilities of the bursting events were determined. The results showed that stable organizations of
each class of the events had highest transition probabilities whereas cross organizations had lowest transition probabilities.
Additionally, an effort was made to find the average inclination angle of the bursting events in quadrants (II) and (IV).
The results showed that the mean angle of events in quadrants (II) and (IV) increases at the downstream of stoss side to the
crest in each experimental test. Also, at the lee side where the sediment particles were deposited, the inclination angles
had the highest values. |
