Recently observed rapid climate changes have focused the attention of researchers and
river managers on the possible effects of increased flooding frequency on the mobilization …

In freshwater environments, high biodiversity is commonly associated with habitat
heterogeneity. River bends and meanders are particularly complex morphodynamic …

This research is aimed at finding efficient alternative designs, in the physical, economical,
and ecological sense, for the standard groynes as they are found in the large rivers of …

Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LS-PIV) is used to measure the surface flow
velocities in a mountain stream during high flow conditions due to a reservoir release. A …

Streambank erosion is an important management issue, particularly for meandering rivers.
Recently, bendway weirs have become popular control measures for bank erosion along …

Experiments have been carried out in a fixed-bed flume for a schematized straight river
reach with groynes on one side to study the dynamics of the flow near groynes. The flume …

The exchange of dissolved matter between a straight open channel and a series of shallow
embayments present at one of its sides is investigated using large eddy simulation (LES) …

Although past field work at stream confluences has relied on velocity information at specific
cross sections to examine flow structure, detailed characterizations of spatial and temporal …

A series of laboratory flume experiments were performed to study the effect of stream barbs
on flow field dynamics and sediment erosion in a 135° mobile-bed channel bend. Stream …

Experiments have been carried out in a mobile-bed laboratory flume in order to study the
sediment exchange process between the main channel and the groyne fields. The flume …
