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.

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.

Three-dimensional modelling of water quality in the humber estuary

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

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.
