The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards
Charles M. Shobe,Charles M. Shobe,Jens M. Turowski,Ron Nativ,Ron Nativ,Rachel C. Glade,Georgina L. Bennett,Benedetta Dini +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review progress on five key questions related to how boulders influence the evolution of unglaciated, eroding landscapes: 1) What factors control boulder production on eroding hillslopes and the subsequent downslope evolution of the boulder size distribution.

Step-Pool Streams: An Adjustment to Maximum Flow Resistance
TL;DR: In this paper, an experiment was conducted to study the maximum flow resistance of step pool streams and the morphology of the steps formed from clastic materials, and the step pool formation was qualitatively simulated to analyze numerically the formation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Loss in Steep Open Channels with Step-Pools
TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional numerical simulations were performed for different flow rates and various geometrical parameters of step-pools in steep open channels to gain insight into the occurrence of energy loss and its dependence on the flow structure.
Equilibrium geomorphological conditions for high gradient bed streams
A N Papanicolaou,A R Maxwell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the flow conditions under which stable bedforms exist; provide the geometric characteristics of these bedforms; measure the magnitude of the streamwise velocity and energy dissipation factor; and determine the friction factor under various flow conditions and gravel sizes.

Flow Resistance in Very Rough Channels
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a double-averaging approach to estimate the width, reach, and doubleaveraged variables for steady, uniform flow in an open channel, using an empirical model for the coefficient of form drag, and a flow resistance model that compares well to a large data set of flow velocity in natural channels.

The influence of roughness structure on flow resistance on steep slopes
Jochen Aberle,Graeme M. Smart +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of roughness on flow resistance in mountain streams is investigated and the standard deviation of the bed elevations is introduced as a characteristic roughness length and its applicability is verified by the analysis of experimental data.

Form and stability of step-pool channels : Research progress
Michael Church,André Zimmermann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that step-pools exist in a jammed state whereby the boulders are structurally arranged within the channel and thereby stabilize it, and that once a step has formed, a scour pool with a characteristic length and depth develops downstream, creating a zone where additional steps are unlikely to occur.

Hyperconcentrated Flow and Sediment Transport at Steep Slopes
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of an increasing fluid density and viscosity on the flow behavior and the bed-load transport capacity of a fine-material slurry of a debris flow was examined.
Channel classification, prediction of channel response, and assessment of channel condition
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based landscape and channel classification is proposed as a framework for assessing watershed response to natural and anthropogenic environmental change, focusing mainly on the valley segment and channel reach levels.
