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 …

This paper summarizes the results of the European Union Marine Science and Technology
(EU MAST) III project “Scour Around Coastal Structures”(SCARCOST). The summary is …

This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures,
exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine …

The flow around a vertical circular pile exposed to a steady current is studied numerically
and experimentally. The numerical model is a three-dimensional model. The model …

Fundamental to our understanding of erosional and transport phenomena in earth-surface
dynamics and engineering is knowledge of the conditions under which sediment motion will …

A model of sand transport in water is produced by combining a turbulence‐resolving large
eddy simulation (LES) with a discrete element model (DEM) prescribing the motion of …

Vegetation is ubiquitous in river channels and floodplains and alters mean flow conditions
and turbulence. However, the effects of vegetation patches on near‐bed turbulence, bed …

The present study examines variations in the reference shear stress for bed load transport
(τr) using coupled measurements of flow and bed load transport in 45 gravel‐bed streams …

This paper, written to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering,
presents a structured, contemporary approach to scour-depth estimation that matches …

In natural flows, bed sediment particles are entrained and moved by the fluctuating forces,
such as lift and drag, exerted by the overlying flow on the particles. To develop a better …
