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 …

Resistance to flow determines several important hydraulic parameters in streams and rivers
and must be properly represented in models for estimating water discharge and sediment …

A method is presented which enables the computation of the bedload transport as the
product of the saltation height, the particle velocity and the bed-load concentration. The …

A method is presented that makes the classification of bed forms, the prediction of the bed-
form dimensions and the effective hydraulic roughness of the bed forms feasible. The …

In 1965, Rouse critically reviewed hydraulic resistance in open channels on the basis of fluid
mechanics. He pointed out the effects of cross-sectional shape, boundary nonuniformity, and …

The mechanisms and behaviour of the scour process is a challenging subject, and one
which is expertly dealt with in this informative, illustrated volume. Specifically, this book …

The validity of a bed-load transport formula, based on the bed-shear concept of Meyer-Peter
and Mueller, was investigated for steady unidirectional flows, oscillatory flows and oscillatory …

The term hydraulic geometry was coined by Leopold and Maddock (1953) for the
quantitative description of how river width, depth, velocity and related properties vary with …

The resistance to flow in the turbulent rough-flow range depends primarily upon the size,
shape, and arrangement of the granular material making up the boundary. We have …
