Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions

RI Ferguson, RJ Hardy, RA Hodge… - Earth Surface …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Most ways of predicting flow resistance in shallow rivers with a partial or complete cover of
coarse sediment use a bed‐sediment grain diameter as a roughness length scale. However …

Breaking from the average: Why large grains matter in gravel‐bed streams

LG MacKenzie, BC Eaton… - Earth Surface Processes …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
While the influence of large grains on the morphodynamics of gravel‐bed rivers has long
been recognized, nothing dominates our collective efforts to model such rivers like the bed …

The trouble with shear stress

EM Yager, JG Venditti, HJ Smith, MW Schmeeckle - Geomorphology, 2018 - Elsevier

Unravelling fluvial versus glacial legacy controls on boulder‐bed river geomorphology for semi‐alluvial rivers in Fennoscandia

RJ Mason, LE Polvi - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
River management is founded on predictable self‐organisation between river form and
catchment controls in alluvial rivers. However, a substantial proportion of rivers are not fully …

Local and reach‐scale hyporheic flow response from boulder‐induced geomorphic changes

T Dudunake, D Tonina, WJ Reeder… - Water Resources …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Stream hydromorphology regulates in‐stream water flow and interstitial flow of water within
streambed sediments, the latter known as hyporheic exchange. Whereas hyporheic flow has …

E Papangelakis, B MacVicar… - Water Resources …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Watershed urbanization and stormwater management (SWM) alter the hydrologic processes
of rivers. Although differences have been documented in channel morphology and sediment …

Estimating grain stress and distinguishing between mobility and transportability improves bedload transport estimates in coarse‐bedded mountain rivers

J Gilbert, AC Wilcox - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Estimating sediment transport in mountain rivers is challenging because of sediment supply
limitation, broad grain size distributions, complex flow hydraulics, and large form drag …
