Erosion and Accretion on a Mudflat: The Importance of Very Shallow‐Water Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnitude of bed-level changes during very shallow-water stages (VSWS, water depths 0.2 m) are considered, and the results are useful in understanding the mechanisms of micro-topography formation and destruction that often occur at VSWS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-uniformity and layering in sediment transport modelling 1: flume simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated numerical sediment transport model capable of solving both uniform and non-uniform transport equations while calculating grain size distributions is presented, coupled with external hydrodynamic codes which provide flow field and bed shear stress patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grain-Size Controls On the Morphology and Internal Geometry of River-Dominated Deltas

TL;DR: In this paper, a reinterpretation of the Kf-1 parasequence set of the Cretaceous Last Chance Delta, a unit of the Ferron Sandstone near Emery, Utah, USA uses Ferron grain-size data, clino-form-dip data and clinoform concavity, and variance of dip directions to hindcast the delta's planform.

A physical, movable-bed model for non-uniform sediment transport, fluvial erosion and bank failure in rivers

TL;DR: In this article, scale effects of a specific scaling approach for multi-grain size mixtures that preserves similarity of initial motion for each grain size class and of the bank stability coefficient between the model and the prototype, but relaxes strict similarity of the Shields and particle Reynolds numbers are discussed.
