Abstract: Density currents represent a broad class of flows driven by gravity acting on a density difference with the ambient environment. The understanding of the underlying mechanisms of density currents and their implications on ...

Abstract: Typical engineering design of rock weirs rely on simplified one-dimensional equations dependent on empirical coefficients. However, most simplified methods fail to accurately predict the hydraulics through rock weirs because ...

Abstract: Engineered log jams (ELJs) are used widely in practice as a river restoration measure. One desired feature of an ELJ is its porous nature, which plays an important role in hydrodynamics and sediment response. Currently ...

Abstract: Understanding the complex flow and sediment transport on vegetated slopes is important for ecological restoration and conservation projects. This study quantifies the erodibility of sand infill through densely vegetated ...
