Abstract: Nonlinearities of bed transients of finite height are documented through numerical modeling using finite difference schemes. First, the numerical characteristics of two explicit finite difference schemes, namely: de Vries's ...

Abstract: This laboratory study investigates the local scouring phenomenon in sand that occurs downstream of box culverts. Although culvert hydraulics can include special cases, such as culverts on hydraulically steep slopes for ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory flume experiments were performed to study the effect of stream barbs on flow field dynamics and sediment erosion in a 135° mobile-bed channel bend. Stream barbs (also known as spur dikes or submerged ...

Abstract: Laboratory flume experiments were conducted to study the flow field and sediment dynamics in a mobile-bed channel bend with and without the presence of stream barbs (upstream-angled submerged groynes). This paper presents ...

Abstract: The development of a fully three-dimensional finite volume morphodynamic model, for simulating fluid and sediment transport in curved open channels with rigid walls, is described. For flow field simulation, the Reynolds-averaged ...

Abstract: Detailed mapping of bathymetry and apparent bed load velocity using a boat-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was carried out along a 388-m section of the lower Missouri River near Columbia, Missouri. Sampling ...
