Bridge foundations are subjected to local scour and in many occasions, local scour causes
failure of bridges. The designer must seek ways to guide and control the process so as to …

This paper presents an overview of the recent geomorphological and hydraulic insights on
the dynamics of steep mountain streams, here defined as those channels with slope> 4–5 …

Data from laboratory flumes and natural streams show that the critical Shields stress for
initial sediment motion increases with channel slope, which indicates that particles of the …

A data set of 2890 field measurements was used to test the ability of several conventional
flow resistance equations to predict mean flow velocity in gravel bed rivers when used with …

Previous studies suggest that the seismic noise induced by rivers may be used to infer river
transport properties, and previous theoretical work showed that bedload sediment flux can …

Several decades of flume and field measurements have indicated that in rough turbulent
flows the critical Shields stress increases with increasing slope and associated decreasing …

To calculate bed load, engineers often use flow resistance equations that provide estimates
of bed shear stress. In these equations, on the basis of the estimate of the appropriate …

This paper presents the results of a large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flow over a
channel bed artificially roughened by hemispheres. The Reynolds number of the flow based …

The effectiveness of a novel approach of using vanes, installed at a low angle and attached
to the bank, for bank protection and for the restoration of river meanders has been …

Vegetation can change flow structure and turbulence characteristics. However, few studies
have focused on combined wave–current flows in canopy with vertically varying density …
