Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Double Triangular Prisms Using a DBM–LBM Coupled Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Local scour is a typical hydro-sediment coupled process around near-bed obstacles. Its intensity and spatial distribution are jointly controlled by the surrounding-flow structure, sediment transport, and bed-feedback deformation.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Influence of flow unsteadiness on local scour at bridge piers: An energy-based perspective

International Journal of Sediment Research
Local scour at piers is a major cause of bridge failures worldwide. While most existing studies assume steady flow conditions, actual flood events are inherently unsteady, with distinct rising and falling limbs that significantly modify scour dynamics ...

Divergent Blue Carbon Trajectories in the Yellow River Delta Post‐1976 Diversion: Hydrological Stability and Human Disturbance Contrasts Revealed by Multi‐Source Remote Sensing (1984–2023)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics under environmental change remain insufficiently quantified. Taking the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a natural laboratory, this study synthesizes multi‐source remote sensing data, including optical and radar imagery spanning from 1984 to 2023, to explore the ...

Temporal variation of clear-water scour at compound Abutments

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2016
Most of actual abutments in rivers are built on foundation, while there is limited number of study available on the effects of the foundation on the local scour.

Evaluation of methods for the analysis of oxygen and carbon dioxide in water, sediment, litter, and soil

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Choosing an appropriate analyzer to measure concentrations of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during biogeochemical cycling studies can be difficult, considering the range of options available. While several studies examine the abilities of specific analyzers, comparison of multiple analyzers and environmental sample types is lacking.

Additions to the Acanthaceae of the Flora of Tropical East Africa: two new species from northern Kenya

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The new species Barleria kulalensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke and Dicliptera huriensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke are described and illustrated and their extinction risk is assessed provisionally. The former is based on Barleria sp. G of the Flora of Tropical East Africa (FTEA), with recent field observation and collection of this species from the foothills of ...

Mechanics of local scour: supplement, methods of reducing scour

, 1966
The purpose of this report is to summarize the results of tests conducted at Colorado State University on the hydraulic feasibility of reducing scour by modifying pier shapes. The following models were investigated: 1. Sharp nosed piers. 2. Rectangular pier on flat footing supported on piles. 3.

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 ...
