Turbidity Currents
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…
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…
Sediment Transport Modeling
The objective of this research is to incorporate sediment transport modeling to the former hydrodynamic model called STREMR (Bernard, 1993). Keep Reading…
CFD Bedforms
Current research relates to the sinking of cylinder sitting on the ocean bed. Code using FEM has been developed to Keep Reading…
