Abstract: Engineering modifications of rivers, e.g., dams or groynes, often induce long-term riverbed erosion, which can be mitigated with sediment nourishments. Here, we consider nourishments to mitigate channel bed erosion ...

Abstract: We perform an analysis of the response of a reach of the Minnesota River, US to changes in sediment loading, including sand and mud. The reach in question extends 160 km downchannel from Mankato to the confluence with ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, finite-difference numerical model is developed to simulate the breach evolution of noncohesive optimally compacted earthen dams. The main feature of the model is the inclusion of a source term in the ...
