Abstract: In the stratified environment, systematic experiments are carried out to understand the impacts of rigid vegetation on the evolution of lock–release gravity currents, including the propagation process and entrainment ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the interacting mechanism between the saltating particles near the channel bed. A real-time flow visualization technique was developed to measure the interparticle collision ...

Abstract: Study of soil erosion in the reservoir watershed, the main source of reservoir sedimentation that affects the reservoir’s lifespan and capacity, is of vital importance for watershed management. Due mainly to the lack of ...

Abstract: Gravity currents play an important role in many aspects of natural processes and engineering practice. This paper presents a systematic lock-exchange experimental study to investigate the influence of linearly stratified ...

Abstract: Particle saltating motions during bed load transport are dominated by the forces acting upon particles and the random process of the particles impacting on and rebounding from the channel bed. A real-time flow visualization ...

Abstract: In this research, laboratory experiments and numerical models were used to develop a new formula for the hydraulic scour rate and a bedrock module for estimating soft bedrock erosion rate, and they were then applied in a ...
