Advances in computing technology, new and ongoing restoration initiatives, concerns about
climate change's effects, and the increasing interdisciplinarity of research have encouraged …

Highlights Eleven general streambank stabilization (SBS) techniques have been used
worldwide. Rules-of-thumb and practitioner experience are still heavily applied in SBS …

We develop a coupled hydro-morphodynamic numerical model for carrying out large-eddy
simulation of stratified, turbulent flow over a mobile sand bed. The method is based on the …

Barchan dunes are crescent-shaped formations of sand that can dominate both desert and
subaqueous landscapes when the supply of sand is scarce. Because of the complexity and …

River restoration aims to improve physical natural form and processes of a river. Techniques
to control the riverbed, stabilize channel alignment, protect stream banks, and rebuild the …

This paper presents a systematic numerical investigation to study the effects of inlet turbulent
boundary conditions on the coupled hydrodynamics and morphodynamics computations of …

In meandering rivers, interactions between flow, sediment transport, and bed topography
affect diverse processes, including bedform development and channel migration. Predicting …

Marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy from free-flowing waves, tides and currents
comprises an important source of clean and renewable energy. The development of …

Sand waves arise in subaqueous and Aeolian environments as the result of the complex
interaction between turbulent flows and mobile sand beds. They occur across a wide range …

The evolution and migration of large dunes in a realistic intermediate-size experimental
stream, the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) Outdoor StreamLab (OSL), and two large …
