Predicting rill erosion rates for a given discharge and slope minimally requires a model for
rill hydraulics that allows the prediction of hydraulic parameters and a model for sediment …

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 develops an analysis of the air entrainment processes in free-surface flows. These
flows are investigated as homogeneous mixtures with variable density. Several types of air …

Naturally occurring high-discharge flows of water and sediment in open channels
(ie,``floods''), vary over a wide and continuous spectrum of sediment concentration and …

New phase diagrams for the dynamic structure of clay-laden open-channel flows are
proposed. These diagrams can be used to distinguish between turbulent Newtonian …

Incipient motion criteria based solely on time-averaged bed shear stress may underpredict
sediment transport. The focus of this study is on the stochastic aspect of the problem of …

The presence of sand moving at low transport rates over a flat bed modulates the production
of turbulence when compared to clearwater flow at similar mean flow conditions. Phase …

Clay-rich flows are common in many sedimentary environments, ranging from rivers with
high suspended sediment concentrations and fluid muds on the continental shelves to deep …

Experiments were performed to measure the mean velocity and turbulence characteristics in
open-channel flows with and without suspended sediment (alluvial sand of nearly uniform …

This study is devoted to quantify the near-bed turbulence parameters in mobile-bed flows
with bed-load transport. A reduction in near-bed velocity fluctuations due to the decrease of …
