The interaction of a vortex ring with a sloped sediment layer: critical criteria for incipient grain motion

Experiments were performed to analyse the interaction between a vortex ring and a sloped sediment layer. Attention focussed on interactions under “critical” conditions, in which sediment motion was only just induced by the ring's flow field. Both hydraulically smooth and hydraulically rough bed...
