Abstract: The pickup probability of bedload sediment can be defined as the channel width fraction that is only associated with entrained particles. With this definition, the dimensionless bedload transport rate can be formulated as ...

Abstract: This paper presents results obtained from a detailed analysis of the experimental data of three hydraulic jumps with low Froude numbers (1.5–1.9) in a narrow flume. With the increasing Froude number, the three generated ...

Abstract: In vegetated open channel flow, sediment transport is affected by both boundary shear and vegetation-induced turbulence. This study presents a theoretical derivation of the critical flow condition for incipient sediment ...

Abstract: In the derivation of his bedload formula, Bagnold approximated the critical near-bed flow velocity for incipient sediment motion as the particle settling velocity. However, this approximation has not yet been validated ...

Abstract: This study presents measurements of the bed shear stress associated with the three-dimensional boundary layer induced by a wall-bounded swirling jet. The velocity profile within the viscous sublayer was measured in detail ...

Abstract: Although local scour around submarine pipelines has been extensively studied in the last few decades, understanding of the mechanism of local scour around pipelines is still in its infancy stage due to the complex nature ...

Abstract: This paper presents a compilation of a large database consisting of 588 culvert scour experiments covering a wide combination of different culvert shapes, culvert outlet conditions, and sediment properties. The analysis ...

Abstract: This study evaluates sediment gradation effects on clear-water scour at bridge piers. By considering the average erosion and deposition rates in a pier-scour hole, the normalized equilibrium scour depth is theoretically ...
