The Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) has been extensively used to characterize the evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of sediment particles moving above a gravel bed.
Sabo is a technology to prevent sediment disasters and Sabo dams are often used to control debris flows in mountainous regions in Japan.In recent years, slit Sabo dams have often been installed to pre
The problem of withdrawing sediment at canal diversions is old and still largely unsolved.In the west, it has been recently given the name "Bulle effect", for the name of the Austrian researcher who m
A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream in a river mouth as the tide starts rising.The transient sediment motion beneath a breaking bore was investigated by measuring simultaneously the
Bedload fluctuations over time in steep rivers with wide grain size distributions have been observed, even under constant sediment feeding and water discharge.
Block ramps are natural structures with adequate energy dissipation and partially moderate flow velocities.A special case is given with cross-bar block ramps, where the upstream and downstream level d
Sediment transport is a geophysical phenomenon that sediment particles are driven to move in streamwise and vertical directions by the corresponding forces.
As the main constituents of cohesive sediments in natural waters, clay particles always interact with the waterborne extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) exuded by microorganisms, or exopolymers,
Many studies have been carried out to investigate suction effects on flow behaviour and sediment transport.Published literature has shown that suction has a significant impact on bed erosion and depos
