Dunes are present in nearly all fluvial channels and are vital in predicting flow resistance,
sediment transport, and deposition within many rivers. Progress in understanding the fluid …

An erodible bed sheared by a fluid flow, gas or liquid, is generally unstable, and bed forms
grow. This review discusses the following issues, in light of the recent literature: What are the …

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment
transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures,
exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine …

Supercritical‐flow phenomena are fairly common in modern sedimentary environments, yet
their recognition and analysis remain difficult in the stratigraphic record. This fact is …

A BROAD sheet of water flowing over non-cohesive sediment typically breaks up into a
network of interconnected channels called a braided stream (Fig. 1). The dynamics of such …

Rivers and canals with perimeters composed of non-cohesive sand and silt have self-formed
active beds and banks. They thus provide a most interesting fluid flow problem, for which …

Detailed laser‐Doppler velocity and Reynolds stress measurements over fixed two‐
dimensional bed forms are used to investigate the coupling between the mean flow and …

A two-dimensional stability analysis is presented of flow of low Froude number over an
erodible bed. Particular regard is given to the modelling of the turbulent flow close to the …
