Bedforms are formed by sediment particles under the action of flow,which in turn affect flow and sediment movement.However,the fundamental mechanisms behind the formation and development of bedforms under varying flow...

Streams and rivers,particularly smaller ones,often do not maintain steady flow rates for long enough to reach equilibrium conditions for sediment transport and bed topography.In particular,streams in small watersheds ...

The lower Yellow River(LYR)is a fully alluvial system with a fine-grained bed that has a high proportion of silt.Bathymetric survey data collected with a Multi-Beam Echo Sounder(MBES)from the wandering reach of the LY...

A series of sub-parallel linear glacial scours are identified on the crest of the Baoshi Seamount in the Northwind Abyssal Plain by compiling new multibeam data acquired during the 9 th Chinese Arctic Research Expedit...
The current paper investigates the flow and turbulence characteristics over dune bedforms by means of laboratory experiments,where spatially dense and temporally high frequency velocity measurements were done.Although...
In the present study,among six gravel-bed river reaches,two natural gravel-bed river reaches with approximately similar bedforms and flow conditions have been found,one river reach with vegetation on bedforms and the ...
Dunes have a large influence on hydraulic roughness, and, thereby, on water levels which could affect the navigability of rivers and performance of hydraulic structures. The present study investigated the variation of...
This article presents results from a broad field campaign involving discharge and surface-water slope measurements, water sampling, and longitudinal river-bed profile surveys. During the spring breakup of 2011, fieldw...

The transport of bed material and fluid turbulence are affected by many factors, including the fine sediment load being carried in a channel. Current research has focused on sand-sized particles introduced to gravel b...
A number of reservoirs in Nebraska have been retrofitted with sediment bypass systems to extend their lifespan. The bypass systems are best suited for rerouting sediment that travels as bedload since bedload is relat...
