Nitrogen Assimilation in the Freshwater Amphipod <i>Gammarus fossarum</i> is Dominated by Animal-Derived Resources. [PDF]
Based on a systematic feeding experiment with isotopically labeled feed, we challenge the current view on feeding patterns and nutrient processing in gammarids, with opportunistic cannibalism playing a more important role for N‐uptake than the incorporation of N from different plant materials.

Threshold of motion and orientation of bivalve shells under current flow [PDF]
Disarticulated shells of three bivalve mollusk species (Anomalocardia brasiliana, Codakia orbicularis, and Divaricella quadrisulcata) were experimentally tested in laboratory flumes to determine the threshold of motion and final orientation of the valves.

Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]
A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

Design and analysis of 0.127 m (5″) Cutthroat flu
The aim of the present work was to perform series of detailed laboratory experiments under steady-state flow conditions through a Cutthroat flume of throat width 0.127 m (5″) and length 0.918 m.

On the stabilizing influence of silt on sand beds [PDF]
In marine environments, sediments from different sources are stirred and dispersed, generating beds that are composed of mixed and layered sediments of differing grain sizes.

Real time water surface elevation using video camera [PDF]
In recent years, image processing has become a popular tool in wave flume experiments. In Indonesia, the use of image processing methods for measuring instruments in wave flume experiments has not been widely used.

LABORATORY FLUME EXPERIMENT WITH A CODED STRUCTURED LIGHT SYSTEM [PDF]
Abstract. The topography of inland deltas is influenced chiefly by the water-sediment balance in distributary channels and local evaporation and seepage rates. In a previous study, a reduced complexity model has been applied to simulate the process of inland delta formation.

Unscreened water-diversion pipes pose an entrainment risk to the threatened green sturgeon, Acipenser medirostris. [PDF]
Over 3,300 unscreened agricultural water diversion pipes line the levees and riverbanks of the Sacramento River (California) watershed, where the threatened Southern Distinct Population Segment of green sturgeon, Acipenser medirostris, spawn.
