Calculating wave-generated bottom orbital velocities from surface-wave parameters

TL;DR: The ''effective'' forcing for wave-driven, near-bed processes is defined as the product of the magnitude of forcing times its probability of occurrence, and it is concluded that different bottom orbital velocity statistics may be appropriate for different problems.

Depositional processes, bedform development and hybrid bed formation in rapidly decelerated cohesive (mud–sand) sediment flows

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of rapidly decelerated to steady flows that contain a mixture of sand, silt and clay, and explored the effect of different clay (kaolin) concentrations on the dynamics of flow over a mobile bed, and the bedforms and stratification produced.

Sediment Transport Modeling Review—Current and Future Developments

TL;DR: The use of computational hydrodynamic/sediment transport models, in general, involves the numerical solution of one or more of the governing differential equations of continuity, momentum, and energy of fluid, along with the differential equation for sediment continuity as mentioned in this paper.
