Abstract: Precise prediction of bed shear stress (τ0) and velocity profile in open channels is critical in various applications. This paper deliberates on the depth-averaged von Kármán coefficient in sediment-laden flows based on ...

Abstract: Local scour on noncohesive beds caused by horizontal circular wall jets in submerged environments is investigated in this study. The effects of the ratios of sediment size-to-hydraulic radius, Ks=d50/Rh, on the jet scour ...

Abstract: The efficiency of dredging, whether with a cutter suction dredger or hydraulic flushing, is closely related to the erodibility of the sediments. It is found that the erodibility of cohesive sediments, which is affected by ...

Abstract: The angle of repose (AoR) of sediments is an important parameter in the hydraulics of sediment transport. This study investigated the AoR (ϕ) of submerged cohesive sediments using a tilting plane. The results indicate that ...

Abstract: Spur dikes are deployed to regulate the flow in an open channel for navigation and bank protection as well as protection of beaches against erosion. The spacing between spurs is a crucial design parameter. The reattachment ...
