An overview of tile various experimental programmes. involving overbank flow studies in straight. skewed and meandering channels. is given. Some key results concerning flow mechanisms. resistance. dispcrsion and sediment transport are reviewed. A summary of different methods for estimating the stage-discharge relationship for overbank flows is included. An extensive bibliography is given for those seeking more detailed information. |
