Journal ArticleDOI
Bedload transport and temporal variation of non-uniform sediment in a seepage-affected alluvial channel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a natural-scale laboratory flume flume model to study bedload transport fluctuations in rivers, which is crucial for complementing the existing knowledge on sediment transport theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suspended load and bed load in irrigation furrows
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed an approach to determine the sediment load in irrigation furrows, involving the use of a suction device for sampling water with suspended sediments at various depths, and an acoustic velocimeter is used to acquire flow velocity profiles, which allow sediment loads to be calculated when combined with the sediment concentration measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unsteady two-dimensional paleohydraulic reconstruction of extreme floods over the last 4000 yr in Segura River, southeast Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstructed the Almadenes Canyon (Segura River, southeast Spain) using unsteady two-dimensional shallow water modelling, assuming a stable geometry of the bedrock canyon during the Late Holocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term morphodynamics of a large estuary subject to decreasing sediment supply and sea level rise
TL;DR: In this article, an idealized one-dimensional model was utilized to investigate the long-term morphodynamics of a large estuary subject to the changes in the sediment supply and sea level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longshore sorting on a beach under wave action
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the longshore distribution of sediment as well as corresponding beach profiles was measured in a wave basin, and the sorting of the bed material and the formation of armour coats along the beach were defined by grain size distributions and dimensionless parameters for sandy beaches.
