Overview

Experiments reveal limited morphodynamic activity in a gravel-bed river with varying bank height, suggesting sediment supply influences are more complex.

Key Points

Limited morphodynamic activity occurs in widened gravel-bed rivers with moderate slopes, and erosion is primarily seen in high bank height scenarios.
Sediment transport capacity was assessed under controlled laboratory conditions with a consistent supply rate, highlighting the impact of bank height.
Hydrodynamic numerical simulations provided critical data on bed shear stress effects as bank height varied during experiments.
Findings suggest that additional controlling parameters affect morphodynamics beyond sediment supply in moderate slope scenarios.
