What is it about?
The study investigates the impact of the diversion angle on the bed morphology, the flow structure, and the sediment fluxes at mobile-bed, open channel bifurcations both uncontrolled and controlled with a submerged vane-field. Rigid-bed diversion channels were also tested in five particular cases.

Why is it important?
The flow structures at open channel bifurcations are not fully understood and the impact of the diversion angle on these structures requires comprehensive analyses. Regarding the sediment budgets, the use of submerged vanes for desilting purposes has not been studied for different diversion angles, including the effect of the mobility of the diversion channel bed.
