Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Effect of Bed Roughness on Submerged Hydraulic Jumps

Engineer: Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka, 2014
Free and submerged hydraulic jumps are important phenomena in open channel flow. The basic characteristics of these jumps formed on smooth, horizontal channel beds were covered well in literature both experimentally and theoretically. However, not many studies are reported on submerged hydraulic jumps generated on rough beds.

2D numerical simulation of submerged hydraulic jumps

Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2013
Abstract Hydraulic jumps are usually used to dissipate energy in hydraulic engineering. In this paper, the turbulent submerged hydraulic jumps are simulated by solving the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations along with the continuity equation and the standard k – ɛ equations for turbulence modeling.

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and
