A nonlinear model study on the long-term behavior of shore face–connected sand ridges
TL;DR: In this article, a morphodynamic model is analyzed to gain further knowledge about the finite amplitude behavior of shore face-connected sand ridges observed on storm-dominated inner shelves, and the long-term evolution of the ridges is studied by performing a nonlinear stability analysis in which the physical variables are expanded in eigenmodes of the linear stability problem.

Erosion potential of the Yangtze Delta under sediment starvation and climate change.
Haifei Yang,Haifei Yang,Shilun Yang,Kehui Xu,Hui Wu,Benwei Shi,Benwei Shi,Q. Zhu,Q. Zhu,W. X. Zhang,Zhen Yang +10 more
TL;DR: It is expected that the Yangtze subaqueous delta will experience continuous erosion under sediment starvation and climate change in the next decades of this century or even a few centuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional modelling of water quality in the humber estuary
Roger Alexander Falconer,B. Lin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a refined three-dimensional layer integrated model is proposed to predict water elevations, layer averaged velocity components, distributions of conservative and non-conservative water quality constituents and sediment transport fluxes in estuarine and coastal waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and application of a braided river model with non-uniform sediment transport
TL;DR: In this article, a physics-based morphological model for modeling the evolution of a single straight channel to a multi-thread pattern and local morphologic changes is presented. But this model is not suitable for the modeling of multithreaded channels.

Reduction of Bend Scour by an Outer Bank Footing: Footing Design and Bed Topography
Marta Roca,Marta Roca,Juan Pedro Martín-Vide,Juan Pedro Martín-Vide,Koen Jacques Ferdinand Blanckaert,Koen Jacques Ferdinand Blanckaert +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficiency of scour reduction and bank protection near the outer banks in open-channel bends by means of a horizontal foundation, called footing, protruding into the flow.
