Capabilities of the Large-Scale Sediment Transport Facility

Abstract

PURPOSE: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the Large-Scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF) and recent upgrades to the measurement systems. The purpose of these upgrades was to increase instrument reliability and accuracy while reducing maintenance and to expand facility capabilities for cohesive sediment erosion and transport experiments in wave/current environments.
