Pressure forces on sediment particles in turbulent open-channel flow : a laboratory study

Acknowledgements This research was sponsored by EPSRC grant EP/G056404/1 and their financial support is greatly appreciated. We also acknowledge Dr S. Cameron, who developed the PIV system and its algorithms. The design and construction of pressure sensors was carried out at the workshop and the experiments were conducted in the fluids laboratory at the University of Aberdeen. We therefore express our gratitude to the workshop and laboratory technicians and also to Mr M. Witz and Mr S. Gretland for their assistance in carrying out these experiments. The authors would also like to thank Professor J. Frohlich, Professor M. Uhlmann, Dr C.-B. Clemens and Mr B. Vowinckel for their useful suggestions and discussions throughout the course of this project. The Associate Editor Professor I. Marusic and four anonymous reviewers provided many useful and insightful comments and suggestions that have been gratefully incorporated into the final version.Peer reviewedPublisher PD
