Modeling the morphological response of gravel–bed rivers subject to repeated sediment bypass tunnel operations

Introduction: Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) are operated during floods to re-establish sediment continuity past dams with the ultimate goal of decreasing accumulation in reservoirs. Depending on the location of the intake structure and operational conditions, SBTs may release either bed load-laden...
