The gravel-sand transition: Sediment dynamics in a diffuse extension
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined flow, shear stress, and suspended sediment flux in the diffuse extension of the Fraser River to better understand sediment dynamics where the sand bed emerges, and found that sand is carried in suspension upstream of the primary abrupt gravel-sand transition, but in diffuse extension, sand is moved as both bed load and suspended load.

Effect of wave‐topography interactions on the formation of sand ridges on the shelf
TL;DR: In this article, the role of wave-topography interactions in the formation of sand ridges on microtidal inner shelves is investigated with an idealized morphodynamic model, which uses the two-dimensional shallow water equations to describe a storm-driven flow on an inner shelf with an erodible bottom and a transverse slope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of a new catchment‐scale model of floodplain sedimentation
TL;DR: In this article, a simple theoretical model of overbank sedimentation is presented, which quantifies the relationship between floodplain geometry, overbank discharge, and total sedimentation rate, and the precise form that such a relationship should take is established by analysis of the output from high-resolution flow and suspended sediment transport models applied to 22 floodplain reaches along three U.K. rivers.

Flow resistance in natural, turbulent channel flows: The need for a fluvial fluid mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the assumption that classical notions in fluid mechanics provide the foundations for the techniques of the future is questioned and suggest that alternative approaches must be formulated, which leads to the formulation of modeling tools relevant to fluvial fluid mechanics, rather than a reliance on methods developed elsewhere.
Influence of macro-roughness of walls on steady and unsteady flow in a channel
Tobias Meile,Anton Schleiss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of macro-roughness at the banks of a river was investigated. But, the authors focused on the determination of the flow resistance under steady flow conditions caused by large scale roughness elements at the channel banks, namely rectangular cavities.
