This research addresses sediment transport in the ocean and is part of the EuroSTRATAFORM program (STRATA FORMation on continental margins). Keep Reading…
Sediment Resuspension
Current research in this area is related to erosion caused by submerged turbulent wall jets. Different kinds of wall, plane, Keep Reading…
Oscillatory-Scour Bedforms
Burial processes of finite length cylinders under pure oscillatory flow were examined with a large oscillating water-sediment tunnel (LOWST). Cylindrical Keep Reading…
Oscillatory Flow Fields
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) with fluorescent tracer particles has been used to measure the velocity field above sand ripples for Keep Reading…
Flow-Particle Interaction
The most advanced research is related to suspended sediment transport in rivers. This kind of transport involves turbulence that plays Keep Reading…
Pool-Riffles
As part of river restoration, the geomorphological, ecological, and engineering aspects must be considered. The river restoration facilitates the river Keep Reading…
Mean Flow and Turbulence in a Laboratory Channel With Simulated Vegetation
Much is unknown about the flow structure and turbulence characteristics in open channels with vegetative canopies. All models of open-channel Keep Reading…
Initiation of motion of consolidated coarse-grained alluvium
Current field techniques are available to quantify critical shear stress and erosion rates of cohesive bed/bank materials. For coarse-grained alluvium, Keep Reading…
ADV Performance Curves (APC) Sampling the Flow Turbulence
The capability of Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV) to resolve flow turbulence was analyzed by means of a new tool referred Keep Reading…
