Confluences act as critical nodes in a river system. They affect hydrodynamics, sediment
transport, bed morphology, and eco-hydraulics of the river system. Convergence of streams …

River Confluences and the Fluvial Network brings together state of the art thinking on
confluence dynamics tributary impacts and the links between processes at these scales and …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

Confluences with relatively low discharge and momentum flux ratios where a small steep
tributary with a high supply of poorly sorted sediment joins a large, low‐gradient main …

Confluences are widespread in natural rivers where pollutants, sediment and fish tend to
accumulate (especially separation zone), and studying their three-dimensional (3D) …

River channel confluences play a major role in the dynamics of all fluvial systems, and yet
our understanding of bed load routing at these sites is very sparse. The dynamics of …

The extent to which flows mix at confluences is pivotal for determining spatial patterns of
water quality and biodiversity. Because mixing processes are complex, predicting rates and …

Mixing interfaces at confluences have been viewed as analogous to shallow mixing layers in
which lateral fluxes of momentum generally are viewed as unimportant. This investigation …

The peculiarities of the formation of density currents in the zone of confluence of two rivers
with strongly different hydrochemical regimes are studied numerically and experimentally …

Past field studies of confluence dynamics have focused mainly on experimental or small
stream confluences and confluences of large rivers. Few studies have explored fluvial …
