Rough surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Near-surface processes both encounter and create
surface roughness. Recent advances in surveying have improved the resolution, extent and …

In sand-bedded rivers, dunes dominate sediment transport and flow resistance. Dunes are
also commonly preserved in fluvial deposits as cross-stratified units that record their size …

River dams provide many benefits, including flood control. However, due to constantly
evolving channel morphology, downstream conveyance of floodwaters following dam …

This book is intended as a useful handbook for professionals and researchers in the areas
of Physical Oceanography, Marine Geology, Coastal Geomorphology and Coastal …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

Since the publication of its first edition in 1999,'The Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow'has
been praised by professionals, academics, students and researchers alike as the most …

The second edition of this acclaimed, accessible textbook brings the subject of
sedimentation and erosion up-to-date, providing an excellent primer on both fundamental …

Attention is given to the properties of sediment beds over the full range of conditions (silts to
gravel), in particular the effect of fine silt on the bed composition and on initiation of motion …

Comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and sediment transport in rivers
treating both physical principles and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity …

In 1965, Rouse critically reviewed hydraulic resistance in open channels on the basis of fluid
mechanics. He pointed out the effects of cross-sectional shape, boundary nonuniformity, and …
