Summary An experimental study was conducted to investigate the transport of sand particles over bed deposited in a horizontal conduit by using turbulent flow water. The main objectives were determine near-wall turbulence characteristics at onset erosion (i.e., velocity profile, Reynolds shear stresses, and axial-turbulent intensity); critical required for particle removal from deposits; more specifically, how sand-particle size surface would influence characteristics. A large-scale loop...
