The Near‐Bed Flow Structure and Bed Shear Stresses Within Emergent Vegetation
AbstractThe structure of the bottom boundary layer (BBL) in aquatic flows influences a range of biophysical processes, including sediment transport, hyporheic exchange, and biofilm formation. While the structure of BBL above bare sediment beds has been well studied, little is known about the complex near‐bed flow structure within aquatic vegetation. In

Variability of Internally Generated Turbulence in an Estuary, from 100 Days of Continuous Observations [PDF]
We present detailed observations of internally generated turbulence in a sheared, stratified natural flow, as well as an analysis of the external factors leading to its generation and temporal variability.

The effect of coarse gravel on cohesive sediment entrapment in an annular flume [PDF]
While cohesive sediment generally represents a small fraction (16 Pa), cohesive materials trapped within the gravel bed will be entrained and transported into the Glenmore Reservoir, where sediment-associated nutrients may pose treatment challenges to ...

Bed shear stress measurements in dam break and swash flows [PDF]
A novel shear plate was used to make direct bed shear stress measurements in laboratory dam break and swash flows on smooth, fixed, impermeable beds. The pressure gradient due to the slope of the fluid free-surface across the plate was measured using ...

Effect of near‐bed turbulence on chronic detachment of epilithic biofilm: Experimental and modeling approaches. [PDF]
The biomass dynamics of epilithic biofilm, a collective term for a complex microorganism community that grows on gravel bed rivers, was investigated by coupling experimental and numerical approaches focusing on epilithic biofilm‐flow interactions.

A Numerical Approach to Analyzing Shallow Flows over Rough Surfaces
The hydraulic characteristics (such as velocity profiles, near-bed velocity profile, bed shear stress, and resistance coefficients) of shallow flows over rough surfaces were investigated using numerical simulations.
