Water, Vol. 12, Pages 1353: Reducing of Bend Scour by Setting Spurs in a Curved Channel Water doi: 10.3390/w12051353 Authors: Shih Lai In Taiwan, the rivers not only are fast-flowing with high discharge, but they badly erode their beds during the typhoon seasons. In addition, erosion on the concave bank in a meandering channel is the primary cause of levee break. Therefore, the study conducted a down-scale experiment on erosion induced by oblique flow in a laboratory. It was similar...
