Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Riverbank erosion has significant geomorphological as well as anthropogenic
consequences. The geomorphological impacts include form changes such as lateral …

Channel dredging has become a common phenomenon across several fluvial systems. Pits
dredged in the riverbank can influence the downstream turbulence and affect the bank slope …

In this study, the flow characteristics over modified semi-cylindrical weirs (MSCM) were
investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The simulations …

Overhanging riverbank stability is a key feature of bank retreat. Although different
mechanisms of bank collapse have been studied by many researchers, prediction of …

The shapes of a meandering river at the different stages of its evolution forming meander
loops result from the interaction of the turbulent flow structures and channel planform. Based …

West Bengal is a riverine state in India. So the floodplain areas in the lower Gangetic plain
experience several natural hazards like monsoon floods and bank failure every year due to …

A comprehensive experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of soil properties
and the rip-rap as well as cohesive and non-cohesive soil material and the riprap particle …

Measurement of bed shear stress is always a challenging task for engineers. In river
engineering, bed shear is a fundamental variable and is important in estimating flow …

Failure of manmade embankments at the islands of Sundarban estuaries, India recur almost
annually and results in the submergence of fertile agricultural land and claim human lives …
