Oyster
Bed Study, Nov 2005 |
|
|
This
study deployed two ADVs, shown here exposed at low tide, in
order to determine the impact of bank roughness on flow. The
left bank is a oyster bed (high roughness coefficient), whereas
the right bank is a mud flat (very low roughness coefficient). |
| This
picture shows the condition of the oyster bed that comprises
one bank of this tidal channel. |

During
the deployment period, we repeatedly ran boat wake trials. By
driving a boat over the sensors during high tide, we generated
a very strong flow in this system. We are interested in determining
how the roughness of the tidal creek bank (oyster bed vs. mud
flat) affects the dynamics of the flow. |
