Step-pool streams: an adjustment to maximum flow resistance

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the maximum flow resistance of step pool streams and the morphology of the steps formed from clastic materials. The step pool formation was qualitatively simulated to analyze numerically the formation process. A flume 4.88 mm long and .15 m wide was used and flow velocity measurements were done by electronically timing passage of salt plume down the flume. Observations showed that the natural step pool streams arranged the morphology to maximize flow resistance.
