Scouring of Sand Bars Due to Non-equilibrium Sediment Transport

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 1991
The scouring process of sand bars due to overflow is experimentally, theoretically and numerically studied. The bed load formula of Meyer Peter-Miuller is extended to include the effects of local slope and pressure gradient, by using the experimental results. The equation of motion is derived to describe the sand motion under non-equilibrium condition.

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

PTQ10‐based organic photodetectors for visible light detection and their tolerance to impurities

Polymer International, EarlyView.
PTQ10‐based organic photodetectors were found to be very sensitive to the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 catalyst traces, impacting the transport properties and light detection capacities. Abstract PTQ10 donor polymer has attracted a lot of interest in organic optoelectronics, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics, owing to its ease of synthesis ...

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Development of current-induced scour beneath elevated subsea pipelines

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2018
When scour occurs beneath a subsea pipeline and develops to a certain extent, the pipeline may experience vortex-induced vibrations, through which there can be a potential accumulation of fatigue damage.

Fundamental Hydraulic Geometry Relations as an Accessible Tool for Identifying Channel Instability Over National Scales

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

River Ice Processes Modelling: A Comprehensive Review

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River ice strongly influences hydrology, hydrodynamics, and ecosystems in cold regions, with an impact on flooding, hydropower generation, navigation, and aquatic habitats. Modeling river ice processes is therefore essential for both scientific understanding and operational management.

Business Model and Sustainable Development Goals for an Innovative Agricultural Waste Management: Distributed Biogas Production

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.
