Abstract
    This paper details the dynamics of coherent flow structures generated in shallow flows around impermeable and permeable 2-dimensional bedforms overlaying a highly-permeable idealised bed. Particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) measurements were idealised 2-dimensional dunes overlaying a packed bed of uniform size spheres. Experiments were conducted in free surface flow conditions (Froude number = 0.1; Reynolds number = 25,000) for dune was measured using a standard PIV technique while a novel endoscopic PIV (EPIV) system allowed collection of flow data within the pore spaces beneath the dune. These results show that the permeability of the bed has a critical impact on flow around the bedform, inducing a significant interaction between the free-flow and subsurface flow. The interaction between the free-flow and hyporheic flow is significant; in the leeside, recirculation in the separation zone is replaced by a mechanism of asymmetric alternate vortex shedding. The paper will discuss the implications of these results for the morphodynamics of coarse-sediment bedforms.
