Abstract: The concept of a dominant discharge that governs the cross-sectional and planform characteristics of a channel is used widely in stream restoration practice. This dominant discharge can be based on field measurements, a ...

Abstract: The stability and convergence characteristics of a four‐point implicit finite‐difference scheme due to Preissmann, which has been widely used in open‐channel flow modeling, are examined. The analysis is made for a general ...

Abstract: Previous studies assessing the accuracy of bed-load transport equations have considered equation performance statistically based on paired observations of measured and predicted bed-load transport rates. However, transport ...

Abstract: It has been hypothesized that velocity reversals provide a mechanism for maintaining pool-riffle morphology in gravel-bed rivers—an important habitat for salmonids, which are at risk in many places worldwide and that are ...

Abstract: A consistent framework for the selection and application of higher‐order steady wave theories is presented. Fifth‐order formulations for cnoidal (shallow water) and the corrected Stokes (deep water) wave theories are ...
