Open channel flow dynamics and sediment transport are central to understanding natural watercourses and engineered waterways. The interplay between turbulent fluid motion and particulate matter ...

New guide will assist practitioners to assess role of sediment flows in mangrove conservation and restoration projects. Mangroves are an amazingly rich ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, providing ...

Sediment transport and shallow water flow modelling constitute a critical nexus between theoretical hydrodynamics and practical applications in environmental engineering, flood management and riverine ...

image: An MIT team has developed a more accurate formula to calculate how much sediment a fluid can push across a granular bed, which could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.

An international team of researchers has successfully captured the internal structure of the longest-runout sediment flow ever recorded on Earth. Using seismic measurements, the researchers have for ...

Slowly but surely, the world’s reservoirs are getting gunked up with sediment. In an unblocked river, the flowing water carries bits of sediment along—picked up from river banks or swept into the ...

Soft sediments hidden beneath Greenland's ice could accelerate glacier flow, speeding up ice loss and future sea level rise.

The Eagle River seems to have largely recovered from an Aug. 16 sediment flow. The sediment, flowing into the river from Alkali Creek just west of Wolcott, muddied the river almost to Eby Creek in ...

Visitors watch water and sediment flow at the Sanmenxia Dam on Yellow River, Henan province, June 19, 2022. Water authorities have begun draining water from the Wujiazhai, Sanmenxia, and Xiaolangdi ...
