The slope of streambeds has dramatic and unexpected effects on sediment transport. Experimental data from the flume lab show that gravity does not facilitate sediment transport in the expected manner.
Gravel-bed rivers are dynamic systems where sediment transport plays a crucial role in sculpting channel morphology and influencing ecological as well as engineering outcomes. Sediment transport in ...
Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 60, No. 2 (2015), pp. 463-481 (19 pages) A one-dimensional numerical model describing tidally varying vertical mixing and settling was used to interpret sediment ...
Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue 64: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11th INTERNATIONAL COASTAL SYMPOSIUM ICS2011 (2011), pp. 1599-1603 (5 pages) In order to advance the understanding of flow-exposed ...
While conservation efforts and environmental regulations have played an important role in limiting damage to our lakes and rivers, human pollution and natural disasters are still capable of wreaking ...
Wind, rain and other forces move vast quantities of sediments across the planet, shaping mountains, riverbeds, farmlands and coasts. Understanding the mechanisms of sediment transport has important ...
In the Earth Surface Dynamics Lab at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) the behavior of rivers is modeled through the use of artificial rivers—flumes—through which water can be pumped at ...
