Abstract: A physical model in the concrete open channel will be prepared to investigate macroplastic river transport processes in the presence of spur dikes and vegetation. The goal is to assess the number of uniform floating plastic litter caught in created obstacles. We assumed that plastic particles transported downstream channel will get captured into concavities between spur dikes on both sides of the channel. Additionally, the number of captured pieces will vary between the scenarios, including elongating one spur and adding artificial vegetation between spurs. The quantity and paths of plastic debris, as well as the flow field, will be analysed by photogrammetric methods and acoustic Doppler velocimetry, respectively.
