An erodible bed sheared by a fluid flow, gas or liquid, is generally unstable, and bed forms
grow. This review discusses the following issues, in light of the recent literature: What are the …

A striking characteristic of the transport of granular sediment over a bed of the same material
by a turbulent flow of fluid is that over a wide range of conditions the bed is molded into …

A continuum mechanics approach to two-phase flow is reviewed. An averaging procedure is
discussed and applied to the exact equations of motion. Constitutive equations are supplied …

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 provides a discussion on sea bed processes with engineering applications. It
brings together the material currently available only in technical reports of research papers …

Following ideas developed in the field of hydrodynamic stability of laminar flows (Stuart
1971) a predictive theory is proposed to determine the development of finite-amplitude …

Detailed measurements of flow velocity and its turbulent fluctuation were obtained over
fixed, two‐dimensional dunes in a laboratory channel. Laser Doppler anemometry was used …

Abstract The Monterey East system is formed by large‐scale sediment waves deposited as a
result of flows stripped from the deeply incised Monterey fan valley (Monterey Channel) at …

Preliminary results are reported from an experimental study of the interaction between
turbulence, sediment transport and bedform dynamics over the transition from dunes to …

Observations of the temporal evolution of the geometric properties and migration of wave‐
formed ripples are analyzed in terms of measured suspended sand profiles and water …
