Bedload transport: a walk between randomness and determinism. Part 1. The state of the art

C Ancey - Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
This paper outlines the various approaches used to calculate bedload transport. As bedload
transport exhibits considerable spatial and temporal variations, computing the bedload …

The adaptation of dunes to changes in river flow

AJH Reesink, DR Parsons, PJ Ashworth, JL Best… - Earth-Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
The dunes that cover the beds of most alluvial channels change in size and shape over time
and in space, which in turn affects the flow and sediment-transport dynamics of the river …

Sand mining in the Mekong Delta revisited-current scales of local sediment deficits

C Jordan, J Tiede, O Lojek, J Visscher, H Apel… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
The delta of the Mekong River in Vietnam has been heavily impacted by anthropogenic
stresses in recent years, such as upstream dam construction and sand mining within the …

The pervasive role of biological cohesion in bedform development

J Malarkey, JH Baas, JA Hope, RJ Aspden… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Sediment fluxes in aquatic environments are crucially dependent on bedform dynamics.
However, sediment-flux predictions rely almost completely on clean-sand studies, despite …

Dunes in the world's big rivers are characterized by low-angle lee-side slopes and a complex shape

J Cisneros, J Best, T van Dijk, RP Almeida… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Dunes form critical agents of bedload transport in all of the world's big rivers, and constitute
appreciable sources of bed roughness and flow resistance. Dunes also generate …

River dune dynamics during low flows

LR Lokin, JJ Warmink, A Bomers… - Geophysical research …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
River dunes are wavelike features in sandy riverbeds that move slowly in a downstream
direction. These bedforms are shaped by the interaction between flowing water and sand …

Origin of hysteresis in bed form response to unsteady flows

RL Martin, DJ Jerolmack - Water Resources Research, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Field and laboratory studies indicate that changes in riverbed morphology often lag changes
in water discharge. This lagged response produces hysteresis in the relationship between …

Bed load and suspended load contributions to migrating sand dunes in equilibrium

S Naqshband, JS Ribberink, D Hurther… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Dunes dominate the bed of sand rivers and are of central importance in predicting flow
roughness and water levels. The present study has focused on the details of flow and …

Rapidly migrating secondary bedforms can persist on the lee of slowly migrating primary river dunes

JY Zomer, S Naqshband, B Vermeulen… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Trains of secondary bedforms, superimposed on primary dunes, have been observed in
rivers worldwide. To date, it has remained unclear how these secondary bedforms affect the …

Dune development dominates flow resistance increase in a large dammed river

Y Hu, D Li, J Deng, Y Yue, J Zhou… - Water Resources …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Dunes are important for bedload transport in almost all large river systems and exert an
important control flow resistance. Investigating dunes is fundamental for simulating …
