Abstract
The promotion of sediment suspension in a laboratory flume is discussed. Due to strong upward flow behind a spherical obstacle fixed at the bottom, bed materials are transported as suspended load. Horse-shoe vortices in front of the obstacle generate scour hole around it, and arch-shaped vortices behind the obstacle produce ripples in its near downstream area. Sand particles are entrained by the coherent vortices even after the scour hole has developed, which is detected by the distributions of suspended sediment. The obstacle placed in front of a weir can increase the amount of the suspended sediment passing over the weir.
