An erodible bed sheared by a fluid flow, gas or liquid, is generally unstable, and bed forms
grow. This review discusses the following issues, in light of the recent literature: What are the …

Aeolian processes involve the wind action on a sedimentary substrate, namely erosion,
sand transport and deposition. They are responsible for the emergence of aeolian dunes …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

The flow around a vertical circular pile exposed to a steady current is studied numerically
and experimentally. The numerical model is a three-dimensional model. The model …

The outcome of an experimental study on the turbulent horseshoe vortex flow within the
developing (intermediate stages and equilibrium) scour holes at cylindrical piers measured …

The present study investigates the scour at vertical-wall abutments under a strong current-
dominated combined wave-current and current-only environment using experiments and …

This paper presents three dimensional (3D) numerical modeling of local scour around a
single pile under the combined action of waves and currents. A semi-coupled hydrodynamic …

This study utilizes three-dimensional simulations to investigate scour in combined wave–
current flows around rectangular piles with various aspect ratios. The simulation model …

Several decades of flume and field measurements have indicated that in rough turbulent
flows the critical Shields stress increases with increasing slope and associated decreasing …

The present study investigates the scour phenomenon around different abutment
geometries (such as vertical wall, 45° wing wall, and semi-circular abutments) under …
