Journal ArticleDOI
Suspended sediment dynamics and morphodynamics in the Yellow River, China
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sediment on the hydrodynamics is analyzed using the Richardson number and the Reynolds number to provide a framework to differentiate between various flow regimes in the Yellow River, which is calibrated and validated with Yellow River data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Tidal Asymmetry and Its Nonstationary Variations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief review and evaluation of two methods, namely, the harmonic method and the statistical method, which comprises several statistical measures that estimate the probability density function and various forms of skewness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-phase flow model for asymmetric sheetflow conditions
Haijiang Liu,Shinji Sato +1 more
TL;DR: O'Donoghue et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a two-phase flow model to simulate sediment movement under 2nd-order Stokes wave sheetflow conditions with different sediment sizes and wave periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why and How Do We Study Sediment Transport? Focus on Coastal Zones and Ongoing Methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the current revolution in scientific research related to coastal and littoral hydrosedimentary dynamics, putting into perspective connections between coasts and other geomorphological entities concerned by sediment transport, showing the links between many fragmented approaches of the topic, and introducing the papers published in the special issue of Water on “Sediment transport in coastal waters.

Dead in the water: The fate of copepod carcasses in the York River estuary, Virginia
TL;DR: Three fates of copepod carcass organic matter in the York River estuary, Virginia are investigated: ingestion by planktivores (necrophagy), microbial decomposition, and removal by gravitational settling in the presence of turbulence (sinking).
