摘要

This study examines the scaling behavior and structural nature of bed roughness structures observed in controlled laboratory experiments conducted by Penna et al. (J Hydraul Res 59(3):420–436, 2021), utilizing the analytical framework of Taylor’s variate Power Law (TPL) as extended by Rizzello et al. (Phys Rev E 109(3):034306, 2024). The results reveal a marked contrast in the scaling regimes as a function of the reorganization of the bed surface induced by hydraulic forcing. Specifically, unworked bed surfaces, i.e., those not subjected to water flow, exhibit predominantly multi-scaling behavior, indicative of underlying multi-fractal organization. On the contrary, water-worked beds are characterized by a simpler, simple-scaling regime, consistent with mono-fractal surface structuring. This suggests that flow-induced reorganization acts as a homogenizing mechanism, suppressing heterogeneity and reducing the complexity of bed surface patterns, with important implications for sediment transport dynamics, hydraulic resistance, and morphodynamic modeling.
