New research reveals how to reduce bulldozer forces in river ploughing
The report discusses experiments on ploughing the river bed to understand how to maintain the Waal river. By conducting small-scale tests, researchers can try different methods to improve the ploughing process and study how a buffer forms in front of the plough. They discovered that ploughing in the same direction as the current requires less force than ploughing against it. This discrepancy was explained, and a lot of data and videos were collected to help improve the ploughing process in the Waal river.
