Comparison between predicted and observed sand waves and sand banks in the North Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
For the first time a prediction model of regular morphological patterns on the seabed was tested against observations of sand wave and sand bank occurrence in the entire North Sea. The model, which originates from first physical principles, predicts this

Efficient Data Assimilation Method for Optimizing Prediction of Flow Field and Sediment Transport in Open Channel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 580-593, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurately predicting open‐channel flow under complex conditions remains a challenge. This study introduces a novel synergetic self‐adaptive data assimilation (DA) framework, using a proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller to dynamically calibrate the bed roughness parameter k s in a shallow‐water equation model (via the momentum ...

The Role of Fluvial Morphodynamic Hierarchy in Shaping Bedform Deposits

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Fluvial cross strata are fundamental sedimentary structures that record past flow and sediment transport conditions. Bedform preservation can be significantly influenced by the presence of larger‐scale topographic features that cause spatial gradients in

Predictive model for wave-induced currents and 3D beach evolution based on FAVOR Method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2010
The development of a numerical model using the fractional area/volume obstacle representation (FAVOR) method for predicting a nearshore current field bounded by complicated geometric shapes, and a three-dimensional (3D) beach evolution was described in ...

Field migration rates of tidal meanders recapitulate fluvial morphodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The majority of tidal channels display marked meandering features. Despite their importance in oil-reservoir formation and tidal landscape morphology, questions remain on whether tidalmeander dynamics could be understood in terms of fluvial processes and

Floodplain Conservation Versus Landscape Development—How to Tackle the Multifunctional Management Issue

open access: yesWIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The ability to perform a number of ecosystem functions is degraded by the inappropriate damming of agricultural floodplains (by levee construction) or by the continuous urban expansion, where flood protection is justified but at the cost of affecting the environmental stability of the wider landscape.

Morphodynamic Acceleration Techniques for Multi-Timescale Predictions of Complex Sandy Interventions

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Thirty one percent (31%) of the world’s coastline consists of sandy beaches and dunes that form a natural defense protecting the hinterland from flooding.
