4.1.3. Kennedy's Data (1961)

In 1961, Kennedy [63] carried out a series of experiments with the objective of investigating the factors involved in the formation of antidunes, the characteristics of stationary waves, as well as the effect of these on the friction factor and sediment transport. Three experiments, in three flumes with different geometric characteristics, were executed for the needs of Kennedy's survey. More specifically, fine sand of 0.233 mm and 0.549 mm was used in a 40-foot long and 0.875-foot wide flume, and 0.233 mm sand was used in a 60-foot long and 2.79-foot wide flume. These are the very same flumes utilized by Nomicos [61], and Vanoni and Brooks [62], in their laboratory experiments. A corresponding number of 14, 13 and 14 sets of data were considered by Yang from each of Kennedy's experiments.
