Cover Story: For hydraulic scale model testing of sediment transport in pressurized flow in a hydropower sand trap, Richter et al. (2021) applied a novel scaling method. A 1:1 scaling of the water velocity and 1:1 scaling of the sediment sizes from the prototype result in Euler and Shield similitude. The results were remarkably similar to observations from the prototype. The hydraulic scale model was used to test novel retrofitting solutions for improving existing sand traps, where one solution showed a significant improvement and is now scheduled for full-scale implementation.
