Scour, defined by the loss of geomaterials surrounding a foundation support system, is a
primary cause of bridge failure in the United States and worldwide. Work herein presents a …

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 …

The current understanding of the effects of turbulence on the swimming performance of fish
is primarily derived from laboratory experiments under pressurised flow swim tunnels and …

Hydraulic radius has long been customarily used as a characteristic length to assess the
cross-sectional geometry and efficiency of channels and conduits. This review paper revisits …

Previous studies have shown that sediment transport models based on bed shear stress (τ)
are not accurate for regions with vegetation. The present study demonstrated that the …

Laboratory experiments examined the longitudinal evolution of near‐bed velocity, turbulent
kinetic energy (TKE), and net deposition in a model Phragmites australis canopy occupying …

Scouring downstream of submerged weirs is a common problem resulting from the
interaction of the three-dimensional turbulent flow field around the structures and the mobile …

High flow velocity near the free surface in rivers is due to the presence of shear stress near
the bed and its absence on the free surface. This phenomenon results in unsteadiness of the …

Laboratory experiments examined the impact of model vegetation on turbulence and
resuspension. The turbulent kinetic energy increased with increasing velocity and …

A deep insight into wake of a tidal stream turbine can be essential to make tidal stream
energy commercially viable. This study is to experimentally investigate downstream field of a …
