Development of granular flow is widely characterized by the initiation phase, transportation phase, and deposition phase, depending on slope of channel, total weight of sediment, and surface roughness on channel bed and deposition area. In order to design a granular flow control structure, exact measurement of the flow and deposition behaviors is required through parameters as flow of velocity and depth, runout distance and position of deposition pattern in width, length, and height.
Therefore, a small-scale flume transparent plastic has been designed in this study to simulate and measure paraneters of the flow and deposition behaviors of sediment through experiments. A flume with 0.15 m (width), 0.2 m (height), and 2.0 m (length) in size has been used to conduct the experiments with a flume slope of 25°, 30°, 35°, and 40°; The flume bed and a flat tank were controlled with different roughness by sandpapers P400, P800, and P1200; Total weight conditions were also considered is 2.8 kg, 4.2 kg, and 5.6 kg. Velocity and depth of flow was estimated by image analysis of photographs, and runout distance in length, width, and height were measured using a flat tank horizontal with 5 mm  5 mm grid was located at the end of flume and a laser measure tool.
Experiments showed that slope of channel, total weight of sediment, and roughness strongly related to flow behavior through the Froude number, includings velocity of flow as ranging 0.8 - 3.0 m.s-1 and depth of flow, ranging 0.1 - 2.6 cm. With deposition behavior, runout distance in length, width, and height were significantly correlated to flow behavior affected by slope, total weight, and roughness conditions. The runout distance length was much sensitive to Froude number than runout distance width due to flow inertia without surface roughness.
