This project aims to investigate the mass fluxes induced in the benthic boundary layer by quasi-homogeneous turbulent and typical turbulent velocity profiles of river flows. The experiments are focalized to understand the role of different turbulent intensities, bottom porosity and exchanged fluid density on the exchange
