Video Movies Of Culvert Operation And Small-bodied Fish Swimming In Box Culvert Channels

F.1 Presentation

The book aims to facilitate the advancement and diffusion of knowledge of the flow physics in box culverts and fish kinematics in culvert barrels. It contains a number of photographs and movies showing a range of flow phenomena and interactions with fish. This appendix presents a series of movies of box culvert operation and high-speed video movies of fish swimming taken by the author's research group. The movies illustrate some aspects of fish swimming in a full-scale box culvert barrel. Each movie is described below. Table F-1 summarises the hydraulic engineering conditions of the high-speed video movies of small-bodied fish swimming in box culvert channels.

All the movies are Copyrights Hubert Chanson.
