TLDR
In this article, the authors developed a methodology to support the design of river training works using river jetties and trail dykes, which was verified by field-testing and showed promise for use as inexpensive river engineering works.Abstract:
While river training structures are important tools to provide solutions to river engineering problems, conventional structures can be expensive and can create adverse environmental impacts. There is a need to develop affordable permeable river training structures. Jack jetties have been in use in the USA for various purposes, although there was no scientific methodology to support design of the structures when used for river training works. Therefore, laboratory studies have been carried out to develop this design methodology, which was verified by field-testing. Trail dykes were also tested in a similar fashion. Both types of structures show promise for use as inexpensive river engineering works.read more

Effect of Different Compositions in Unsubmerged L-head Groynes to Mean and Turbulent Flow Characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the mean and turbulent flow characteristics such as three-dimensional velocity distribution, turbulent Reynolds stresses, turbulent kinetic energy, and bed shear stress have been compared by conducting 36 experiments with varying compositions of groyne.
Experimental research on channel closure in braided rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of channel closure in sand-bed braided rivers were investigated by conducting flume experiments with a simplified section of a braided river with gravel-bed similarity, consisting of an upstream fixed Y-shaped confluence followed by an alluvial island surrounded by two channels and fixed outer banks.
