Role Of River Bathymetry In Hydraulic Modeling Of River Channels, Sayan Dey
Open Access Theses
Accurate geometric representation of the river channel is required for accurate hydraulic modeling of rivers. These are generally obtained through remote sensing techniques such as Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR). However, these techniques lack the ability to model the submerged channel bed effectively and need to be complemented with surveyed bathymetric data for complete representation of the channel bathymetry, which can be time and cost prohibitive. An alternative to address this issue is to develop conceptual models that can estimate bathymetry.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of a conceptual model, the River Channel Morphology Model (RCMM) which estimates …
