Modeling a dynamically varying mixed sediment bed with erosion, deposition, bioturbation, consolidation, and armoring

TL;DR: A new one-dimensional (1D), multi-layer sediment bed model for simulating erosion and deposition of fine and mixed sediments subject to consolidation, armoring, and bioturbation, which offers a relatively simple and robust tool for simulators the complex interactions that can affect muddy and mixed sediment bed erodibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wave plus current over a ripple-covered bed

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined wave and current boundary layer flow over a ripple-covered bed was studied, and a detailed numerical description of the flow around fixed ripples by using a k−ω model to calculate the roughness, and friction of a rippled bed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sediment movement under unidirectional flows: an assessment of empirical threshold curves

TL;DR: A selection of threshold data sets from previous investigations is used to re-examine, selectively, some of the empirical curves that are most commonly used for the prediction of sediment threshold, implying that the formulae must be treated with caution in applications.

Sediment transport over an accretional intertidal flat with influences of reclamation, Jiangsu coast, China

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic and suspended sediment transport processes in response to sequential reclamations over the intertidal flat, Jiangsu coast, which used to be one of the widest inter-tidal flats in China, were investigated.

Patterns in the sand: From forcing templates to self-organization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the sweeping shift from template explanations to self-organization by discussing four nearshore patterns: beach cusps, surfzone crescentic sandbars, inner-shelf sorted bedforms, and large-scale cuspate shorelines.
