Photos of the area of study on the Logan River.
The field map sketch was a little rough, but I was able to capture the direction of water flow by throwing wood pieces into the river. I would see where they would go and how fast they were moving. The longer arrows represent faster moving water and the smaller arrows represent slower moving water.
To capture the cross section of the river I just looked below the bridge and just watched the water flow. It looked similar to the cross section in lecture.
The two images above show the different surface flow types and the flow direction of the river. The three images below show convergent flow, divergent flow, flow reattachment/separation, uniform flow, seam flow, and shear zone.
This video shows a tributary running into the Logan River within the study area. In this hydraulic jump video, the upstream sub-critical flow was an undulating surface. It transitioned into a standing wave (super-critical flow) which led to a smooth surface sub-critical flow.
