Hydrodynamics, Sediment Transport and Morphological Features at the Confluence Between the Yangtze River and the Poyang Lake

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2021
Confluences act as critical nodes in a river network as they affect flow, sediment transport, water quality, and ecological patterns. A complete knowledge about hydro‐morpho‐sedimentary processes at river confluences is still incompleted and it has been ...

Sediment Budget and Net Sediment Transport on a Coast Dominated by Waves and Offshore Currents: A Case Study on the Ishikawa Coast and Its Surrounding Areas in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This study discusses the coastal sediment budget for the Ishikawa coast using 12 years of observational datasets; it involves an understanding the local and regional sediment dynamics, the intensity of the transport processes in the region, and sediment ...

Assessment methodology for the prediction of landslide dam hazard [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014
This paper represents a contribution to the study of hazard caused by the interaction between landslides and river courses. The effects of such interferences are often catastrophic and could include the formation of upstream lakes, potential dam failure,

Unification of Aeolian and Fluvial Sediment Transport Rate from Granular Physics. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2019
One of the physically least understood characteristics of geophysical transport of sediments along sediment surfaces is the well-known experimental observation that the sediment transport rate Q is linearly dependent on the fluid shear stress τ applied ...

River flow analyses for flood projection in the Kabul River Basin

open access: yesCentral Asian Journal of Water Research, 2020
Flooding is one of the critical natural disasters in Afghanistan, causing huge social and economic losses on an annual basis. Due to lack of historical data and long gaps in the recorded data, flood predictions are usually associated with large ...

Sampling Strategies to Improve Passive Optical Remote Sensing of River Bathymetry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Passive optical remote sensing of river bathymetry involves establishing a relation between depth and reflectance that can be applied throughout an image to produce a depth map. Building upon the Optimal Band Ratio Analysis (OBRA) framework, we introduce

Comparisons between sediment transport models and observations made in wave and current flows above plane beds [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
As a part of the MAST2 G8-M Coastal Morphodynamics project, the predictions of four sediment transport models have been compared with detailed laboratory data sets obtained in the bottom boundary layer beneath regular waves, asymmetrical waves, and ...

Grain-size characteristics and net transport patterns of surficial sediments in the Zhejiang nearshore area, East China Sea

open access: yesOceanologia, 2020
Summary: Spatial variations in grain-size parameters can reflect sediment transport patterns and depositional dynamic environments. Therefore, 616 surficial sediment samples taken from the Zhejiang nearshore area in the East China Sea were analyzed to ...
