This video was made as part of an introduction to the types of things we do in Civil Engineering and was uploaded by Capture VR. The idea was that there would be a virtual walkthrough of the labs and certain areas could be clicked on and a short video would appear to briefly demonstrate some of the problems involved in civil engineering. The video is to give school leavers and parents a visual that can be understood. Obviously this is not the level the University teaches but it is for people that may have played around with hoses, dug small river beds and experimented with water as children. It also takes some of us back to our schooldays and the oxbow lakes which I did mention but lost to the edit. Hydraulics labs have Venturi meters and flumes, hydraulic jumps, pipe flow, wave energy, open channel flow and many other experiments. This was just a little taster for those that are interested. There are lots of different things that can be done on the flow table but I only got to do one scenario and I'm glad most of you enjoyed it.

What kind of sand is used here?
@@Fightre_Flighte It's a coarse grade silica sand but I can't recall the specifications off hand. The river table is from Armfield so the specs may be on there.

It looks to have very interesting properties, which appear extremely handy in visualizing decades of wear in a matter of minutes.

“Mom, I’ve been over this with you. It’s not a sandbox filled with children’s toys, it’s a highly sophisticated erosion simulation that just so happens to share striking similarities to a playground sandbox. Entirely coincidental.”
Not highly sophisticated. Just a rough simulation. The trucks, about as long as the river is wide, were entirely superfluous.
@@ittaiklein8541 Not entirely superfluous. They demontrate how even smaller rivers and waterways will underwash and dislodge embankments and structures on those embankments in high flow situations.
I love Amon amarth. Great album.
@@dakunssd Yup. I've seen a micro-stream that could fit through a pipe the size of your finger swell into a torrent 2 feet wide in a matter of hours after a rainstorm near my grandparents' cottage. Those things can easily damage or even wash away roads, depending on the conditions.

Geology - like other subjects - would've been much more interesting if schools made them interactive and engaging, but oh well...
I did this in school, cookie sheet, sand, and the science lab sinks.
Or if it would really be geology and not economics and finances lol
I don't know about you but my school did some pretty fun things
100% agree! One of my professors makes subjects fun by doing stuff like this (on the equivalent since the subject matters are completely different, nevertheless interactive still). I learn so much in his courses. On the other hand, I've also had professors who just tell you about powerpoints and assigns us chapters to read. It's obvious which one teaches better!
That costs money and having properly funded schools is not something that amerika cares much for. keep the people dumb and feed them lies, the republican way.
This was my childhood in a nutshell.
Any beach with a river or pond and I'd happily spend the entire day digging channels and building dams.
same, was always obsessed with that shit so this video gave me such a strange sense of nostalgia
I used to do the same thing. I used to make these tunnels in sands and cover it with sand. It was pretty fun thing to do back then.
As a kid, I would build all kinds of things in sand and dirt. Then out came the M80s. Time for some demolition.
@@jasonterrell847 Oh, i used to dig holes in sand and fill the back up with sand. It was fun.

Absolutely brilliant! As an hydraulic engineer I found this simple experiment so emotional since it represents so well the real behavior of many many real rivers
Thank you!. :)
True. I work on the river systems and they’re constantly changing every few years a bend or something will be different
Emotional?
@@Charlie_Ses It brought a tear to my eye also.
This is what I did every time I went to the beach as a kid. I'd make little barriers and buildings out of sand, then get a big bucket full of water to pour somewhere and watch it all change. Fascinated me as a kid.
This also shows what may have been an area suitable for use , quickly becomes completely unusable. Careful what you purchase and build on, in your off grid endeavors. Could also be an example of an expensive coastal development that was not properly maintained. Do you save the frogs or your poorly researched dreamhouse?
Obviously the frogs.
@@ryanfrogz We would expect nothing less from someone with frog in their name and profile
Doesn't matter if you build a foundation of cement that goes down a few stories into the ground, even if the river changes you will have your house on an island instead, easy peasy.
As long as the water won't turn all the freaking frogs gay
What kinds of frogs live on beaches? I've never heard of that before
This happened to the river in my town overnight due to flooding, it’s absolutely insane to see in full scale how the earth changes so quickly
I never get tired of looking at it. The flow of the river and the changes in the terrain.
Through our experiments, we are able to experience the changes that accompany the passage of time in a very short time.
In fact, it's a lot of fun.
It is a noble instinct of learning that drives me to build dams and dig trenches on beaches and riversides.😆
What i have gathered from this video.
Water is lazy, but in a persistent, enduring manner. It will constantly seek the easiest route, while putting in minimal effort to eventually create the shortest route.
Now, apply this knowledge to human behaviour! Also, try doing it with the other elements.. you may end up learning quite a lot ;)

This looks exactly like something I'd love to play around with as a kid.
Now as an adult, I still want to play with it.
I got randomly recommended this by youtube and was quite intrigued xD
I got a D, if not a D-, in my Geology class back in college. It was one of my favorite classes, and very fascinating, but the reading and homework was like Greek to me. The in-class work such as this or field trips were wildly engaging. I needed the help of seeing it practically or being explained, despite much of the material being rather simple to grasp oftentimes.
Now go for P, then h, and D that already you have.

'Oxbow lakes are formed when a river's meander
gets too wibbly, wibbly, wobbly to maintain the course it's on...'
'The main flow of the stream diverts itself accordingly, leaving the Oxbow lake behind but here's my question son

'Oxen aren't known for their... dexterous ability. You might need to watch out for them or you might lose an eye!'
@@Chemrmnce1234 Isn't an oxbow something like a yoke? i.e. it's used to hitch an ox up to a cart or plow,
@@awfuldynne r/whoosh Its song lyrics
@@awfuldynne in this context, the lenticular lake formed when the meander is completely cut off from the main current by deposition is known as an oxbow lake.
My father and I used to fish a certain river and it had various curves and switches, the trout used to lay in the slow water and we did quite well there. Thats when I was 10 years old, I am now 50, I returned to the same river just 1 year ago and I couldn't even recognize it let alone find dads favorite spots. This was very interesting, it explains everything as to what I saw, the river we fished had a lot of meandering curves. They had almost become straight, and only about 40 years. Thankyou for this.
2:47 Notice at the left part, a section of the river is isolated and forms a crescent shaped lake called an oxbow lake
I noticed to. Finally putting my GCSE geography to use
@@MagikarpMan it's all coming back to me
I love me an oxbow lake - I remember the lesson in school 42 years ago - it obviously had an affect on me.
Thanks for the time stamp of the oxbow lake bonus. 😎
about to do my paper 2 of gcse geography. we all love ox-bow lakes.
It’d be pretty cool to run the experiment with different layers of sediments to show how geography impacts erosion. A
Layers could be added and then flattened/compressed to form different densities to represent sediment types. Rocks place in the water stream would also be interesting. Trying to replicate the conditions that allow an Eddie to form would be tight
@gangste Yes, it would. The Outer Banks of NC, USA is a great example of that. The sand banks quickly erode away and they planted a type of wild oat (if I recall correctly) that grows very long roots to stabilize the dunes and slow down the erosion.
It is an amazing area very rich in history! Highly recommend going there.
Big fan of your name
@@hunchie Its almost like he wanted your name instead of his own.
plants are also very important if you want to actually test how this applys to real rivers
Exactly! What bothered me immediately was that it was made from one type of sand without layering of different earth materials and also not compacted at all. The general fluid physics still applies in that the flow will try to go through the path of least resistance and will eventually smoothen out into flowing a direct path given enough time. However one thing that cannot be seen in this demonstration is the effect the water has when it removes earth and burrows deep into the ground like in grand canyon over immensely long periods of time. In these instances the water flow slowly loses it's ability to seek direct path and has to follow the surrounding embankments because of the erosion is directing the flow deeper into ground.
I used to do this with a bucket at the beach all the time as a kid. I'd make this channel for the water to travel along that had all sorts of twists and turns, and often overly-steep dams of sand because I didn't understand how dams worked (though they sometimes managed to hold the water back anyway), and I'd pour the water down and watch how it eroded and changed the course of the stream. Now, over a decade later, I'm taking geology courses in university, and some of the material is reminding me of things I remember watching over and over at that beach.
Who knew you playing as a kid would prepare you for your university courses?
@@trickytreyperfected1482 If there was anyone who knew that back then, I would be incredibly concerned, and also in awe of their psychic powers of prediction.
aw this is so cute
This video is amazing. When I was a kid, the flood water from the mountains was passing through a culvert near our village. In the morning I used to see such deposition of sand creating a beautiful landscape with ripples and different color of sand. Some areas with very fine sand deposition with very smooth ripples (already drained). Also we used to build small dams with soil providing pipe culverts (made out of rolled thick leaves or hollow matured papaya leaf stalks). It was fascinating to watch (I used to watch keenly) water depth rising upstream of the soil dam. Even as a child we used to make wider bases for the dam to stand the water pressure. In the mean time water used to flow through the papaya stalk culvert. At that age my joy knew no bounds watching the flow. Also we used to make a slit opening on the earthen dam, keenly watching the flow pattern down stream of the dam spreading like a fan, and watched as to how the sides eroding away gradually and widening the slit opening. We were not satisfied with that. We then tried to repair the eroded portion of the dam by digging up wet soil along with grass and grass roots from nearby grassy area and carrying with both hands to fill the eroded portion of our dam. It worked and the water depth started building up again. Some time we used to build the dam ahead of the flood water arrival. Your video brought those memories back to life. Thanks a million for that!!!
I love the straightening of meandering rivers and left over oxbow lakes.
See you all in about 9 years when this gets recommended to us all again
I've been recommended the same video twice in a week before. As long as people like you and me are commenting and liking then the algorithm will keep recommending videos on a daily basis. I think if you don't finish watching the video youtube recommended then it'll recommended it again later lol

When I was 10, the geography teacher took us to a local lake that was shaped like a kidney bean. He taught us this stuff and how this oxbow lake had formed. He was an excellent teacher and it has stuck with me ever since. It was fascinating to see it happen in almost real time.. Thank you.
You could reach out and tell him that, he'd love to hear it :)

Yep and the only real change for it as adults is more “what if we do this” type of thing
Its so satisfying to watch, I feel as a kid this was the thing I needed that I never knew I needed lol
I would make miniature rivers when I was 6, only outside. There's your answer to "what did you do without internet?"
I had a stream going through my backyard when I was younger, the neighbors and I used to build dams in it, all the time

I loved playing with the River table in earth science class in high school. I would eat lunch in that classroom instead of the cafeteria and play with the River table.
This happened in real time in North Canterbury, New Zealand, this weekend. We got 100 mil of rain a day for 3 days. Friends of mine and their neighbours discovered that the small stream that looped around their properties decided to take the shortest route through their houses.
I was doing this when i was a kid, meanwhile they get paid to do this!
i was always told to get the hose out of the sandpit =(
If I knew this was a career option my life would be very different today

Yep, it’s statistically proven that 95% of everything we learn in school we will never need or use in the real world
Cool I liked it a lot. It was fun watching.
Great demonstration of how a "Billabong" forms... Fantastic experiment...
I did a science project where I measured the difference in the amount of soil erosion between constant flow-rate water and boom-bust flow rate water (modeled with a bucket-dumping mechanism), all using the same pump for consistency. I find it interesting that your river tended towards a straight-run down the middle. My rivers formed meanders consistently.
Might have had different densities in different places, rivers tend to form meanders when they can't erode some areas as well as others.
This does amazing things to my brain, I could do this for hours. I HAVE done it for hours, wasted enough water that my parents made me stop lol. I'm 34 now and it still has the same psychological effect, though I never get the opportunity anymore.
Thank you algorithm; for recommending me something I didn't know I wanted to watch.
I would love to watch a video from above from start to finish of that. So very satisfying to watch.

Water is just like electricity. Takes the least path of resistance. Great video explaining this.
It's 3:00 am, CZcams magic recommends something completely unrelated to my interests, I find myself mesmerized from beginning to end. Yep, everything checks out.
Rivers are (not a pun) fluid events that last for millions of years in a few cases, hundreds of years in most others. Humans last a few decades. Rivers change with their differing flow rates, the material of their soil, and the plants growing on their banks and plains.
Rivers are a story of lots of continual change over a long time.
Yay! River meander and the formation of ox-bow lakes! I remember that from senior school, like forty years ago. :)
CZcams Algorithm blessed me with the showing of this video. Entertaining to watch and learnt something today. Thank you.
Looks so cool to see the occurring in the river over time
This is the most satisfying thing I'll see all day.
Ocean erosion is crazy too. Been going to cape cod since I was a baby and the time lapse of my memory show very clear erosion on the coast to the point that mansions are on the sand dunes ready to fall into the ocean. Cape cod will be gone after my life time though
I would watch these videos all day. Especially just rivers and erosion in little sand boxes.
Lovely. So simple yet very much educative
no idea why youtube recommends me this, but it was quite interesting to watch actually. You should compact the sand a bit more and leave it running for weeks and do a time lapse.
Good idea, especially if a denser material was used which would take a lot longer to erode.
I cried. Thank you for this emotional and revolutionary video.
I wish CZcams was there when I was in school. Kudos to the content creator.
I can see this being a great demonstration for some of the geology professors I have taken classes with.
This is the science teacher that we all need.
I've been discovering this erosion on a medium scale while playing with my yard's drainage flow. I have managed success in commanding flow from 4 feet front of the yard all the way in to the back of the back yard. My 4 foot front parameter is demanding a higher resistance due to the elevation of the property relative to street level.
Rambling. I apologize. Thank you for sharing this video with me! I feel I have learned a lot and I'm certainly going to review and subscribe, too.
This is incredible, graet job with this model, I would watch this for hours
I did a study on river erosion of the Mersey many years ago, was very interesting I seem to remember.
The leftover curves at the end are now calm enough for various animals to utilize without getting swept away, like frogs, birds, etc.
An excellent point.
That was interesting to watch
Fascinating. And for me right on topic. Our local park is at this moment being re-landscaped in order to redirect a straight running brook into a series of 'curves' and lagoon's to hold the water back before it reaches the local canal. And after a lot of recent heavy downpour's, the first 2 bends, have been completely washed away! No trucks were lost but it is really interesting to watch how nature dictates where water want's to flow. It really is exactly as in this model scenario but on a much, much bigger scale.
I really really wanted something to float down river. Like a wooden raft made from matches.

@@ChakatNightspark It was much warmer 1000 years ago compared to now. Why should we worry about some climate change? The climate changes all the time and life on earth adapts. Nothing to worry about at all. In fact through out most of earth's history it has been much warmer than it is now.
Pollution of micro plastics though is a cause for MAJOR concern. Nature will be fine but us humans will not be fine. There is research that points to the fact that micro plastic pollution has a direct connection to sterility and cancer.
Life on earth always adapts, it will be fine. But if we humans become sterile from plastic and chemical pollution it might become difficult to survive as a species. But hey, people want their iphones and plastic bottles right? lol, everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
All rivers want to go straight, so I guess they eventually will. Awesome demonstration.
This was my dream job when I was 7. Congrats to you!
This is incredible!
I like how they have little trucks on the bank like it's a tiny construction site
They look so cute)
With construction taking so long that the river changed course during the time
He could have used the trucks to build walls to stop the banks from collapsing.
So, I can see the process of making oxbow lake. I learned it 30 years ago in my elementary school. Now I can understand whole process. Thank you very much.
Fascinating! It's so interesting to view a process such as erosion at an accelerated time scale.
Which is why trees are so important as their roots help prevent erosion
Which is why wolves are so important. They keep the population of deers down so they don't decimate all the Riverside trees
@@emrebennett2857 Deer don't eat trees. They eat bushes. Trees that have large enough root systems to stop erosion are too tall for deer.
@panzermeister36 Nope. There is actually a real life example of where they had to reinstate wolves into a wildlife reserve because the exact thing I mentioned above happened. Remember that dears also destroy trees and banks through other means and more importantly they eat the treas when they are in sapling - bush stages
In the river near where I live, the erosion occurs below the roots and they just fall into the river. I guess it depends on the depth of the channel how much they help. The main way the local land owners stop the erosion is by dumping discarded chunks of concrete down the bank until it’s built up above the water level.
@@MoneyManHolmes mangroves are the bets type of trees to stop erosion as they grow in the water itself.
The river turns into a straight line.
In nature Interstingly, when there are trees around a straigh line of water, with the pass of decades, they turn that straigth line in to a curved shape river, just like the one in the begining of the video...
This video also can get the heading " river with trees around it/ and river without trees around it"
Why does it turn back into a curvy river with trees?
@@MikfinityPog Tree roots keep the soil in place better when in contact with flowing water. This forces the water to go around and find a path of less resistance instead of carving a path straight through. Other things do this like rocks and simply harder soils.
Interesting. More, please, such things.
I remember going over this in my basics for university. It was my Survey of Earth science class and we went over everything in geology and climate but erosion and disposition were one of my favorite (behind topics regarding tropical storms, hurricanes etc). Still Geology is underrated and my professors were amazing at teaching it. Again this was simply a core class for my basics so its kind of funny that I'm a lot more interested in earth science than I was in grade school.
This could be very useful for geology labs as well. It clearly shows the high pressure outer bank and lower pressure inner bank. Showing the deposit of sediment on the inner bank and how rivers eventually meander until an oxbow is created in the center.
I always thought that the outer loops would touch eachother...this video show others. Or is this video not representive enough?
@@cbc7599 yes thats right. In full scale usually an oxbow forms from two loops meeting. This sort of happens later in the video but not before the banks fall apart. In real life the bank is held together by vegetation and other things that keeps rivers from becoming floods
