Amplification of Plunging Flows in Bedrock Canyons

Amplification of Plunging Flows in Bedrock Canyons

Abstract Bedrock river erosion is driven by channel hydraulics, which are not well understood for complex morphologies. Many bedrock rivers exhibit a constriction‐pool‐widening (CPW) morphology associated with submerged plunging flows. These flows cause velocity profile inversions resulting in high...
