Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

We investigate the entrainment, deposition and motion of coarse spherical particles within a
turbulent shallow water stream down a steep slope. This is an idealization of bed-load …

This paper concerns a model of bed load transport, which describes the advection and
dispersion of coarse particles carried by a turbulent water stream. The challenge is to …

A longstanding problem in the study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers is related to
the physical mechanisms governing bed resistance and particle motion. To study this …

Bedload, the transport of sediment remaining in contact with the stream bed, has mainly
been studied from the perspective of the correlation between fluid driving forces and the …

Even under flow equilibrium conditions, river bed topography continuously evolves with
time, producing trains of irregular bed forms. The idea has recently emerged that the …

In gravel bed rivers, bed load transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space.
Recently, stochastic bed load transport theories have been developed to address the …

Sediment particles transported as bed load undergo alternating periods of motion and rest,
particularly at weak flow intensity. Bed load transport can be investigated by either following …

Depth profiles of particle streamwise velocity, concentration and bedload sediment transport
rate were measured in a turbulent and supercritical water flow. One‐size 6 mm diameter …

This article examines the spatial dynamics of bed load particles in water. We focus
particularly on the fluctuations of particle activity, which is defined as the number of moving …
