Abstract: This paper reports the development of an enhanced two-dimensional (2D) numerical model for the simulation of flow hydrodynamics and mass transport in meandering channels. The hydrodynamic model is based on the solution of ...

Abstract: Bank erosion consists of two processes: basal erosion due to fluvial hydraulic force and bank failure under the influence of gravity. Because bank resistance force varies with the degree of saturation of bank material, the ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional turbulent flow field around a spur dike in a plane fixed-bed laboratory open channel was studied experimentally using a microacoustic Doppler velocimeter. Mean and turbulence characteristics in all ...

Abstract: The paper presents the application of a two-dimensional depth-averaged numerical model to simulate the lateral migration processes of a meandering reach in the West Jordan River in the state of Utah. A new bank erosion ...

Abstract: Stochastic bed load transport formulas for nonuniform sediment exist, but most of them do not account for the composition of surface material to predict fractional transport rate. This study transformed a surface-based ...

Abstract: Vegetation can impede flow in open channels. The control of vegetation by hydraulic means is a nonchemical approach that can be attractive. To control the vegetation, the calculation of the lodging velocity (velocity at ...
