Abstract: This paper presents results of several large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flow in an open channel through staggered arrays of rigid, emergent cylinders, which can be regarded as idealized vegetation. In this study, ...

Abstract: Incipient motion criteria based solely on time-averaged bed shear stress may underpredict sediment transport. The focus of this study is on the stochastic aspect of the problem of incipient motion. Specifically, the role ...

Abstract: The use of in-stream flow training structures for channel stabilization has become increasingly popular due to its potential cost effectiveness and ecological benefits. When properly designed and maintained, these structures ...

Abstract: In this study, the characteristics of near-bed turbulence were experimentally investigated for three distinct roughness regimes, namely (1) isolated; (2) wake interference; and (3) skimming. Spherical particles of the same ...

Abstract: Bed-load measurements comprise an important component in the development of reliable formulas, in an effort to obtain the necessary constitutive relations between the amount of transported material and flow parameters. The ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional hydraulic model (River2D) was used to investigate the significance of flow complexity on habitat preferences of brook trout (

Abstract: Vegetation as multiple stems in various configurations or an isolated stem profoundly alters turbulent flows. Past research has shown that these alterations influence sediment transport and stream morphology, but entail ...
