Bedforms are intricate and diverse characteristics found in riverbeds that are produced when sediment particles and flow interact. Understanding bedform evolution is essential to comprehend river ecology, bed resistance, and sediment movement. In order to correctly measure the bedforms under varied conditions, a series of bedform experiments were carried out in the present study. The main objective is to determine the influence of ripple height and bedform geometry on flow and energy distribution patterns in open-channel flow. The experimental work was carried out in a flume having 7-m-long, 0.8-m-wide, and 0.7-m-deep with a 10-cm-deep layer of river sand. The findings demonstrate that bedforms and ripple height have a major impact on energy and velocity distribution. Near the bed, the energy distribution reveals a notable rise in turbulent kinetic energy, while the velocity profiles display a logarithmic distribution. The findings in the present study demonstrate the need to consider the presence of bedforms for hydraulic engineers. Further it can be applied to river management, as the presence of bedforms is critical for determining the optimal location of bridges, dams, and other river structures, as well as for understanding the potential for erosion and deposition.
