The influence of bivalve shells, of different shapes and sizes, on current-driven sediment transport: Experimental flume study

In the Netherlands, the coastlands act as the principal protection against the sea. Without human interventions, the Dutch coast would be eroding due to an imbalance in the sediment budget of the coastal zone. The preferred coastal management strategy is sand nourishment, which have become larger in scale and more complex over the last 70 years....

The influence of vegetation on flow and transport mechanisms: An experimental study on sediment transport mechanisms in two parallel stretches of vegetated and non-vegetated bed

Vegetation on river banks and bars contribute to the stability of these morphological features; however, the exact processes that contribute to this stabilization are still subject to research. This study has looked into the flow phenomena at the streamwise interface between a vegetated and non-vegetated river bed. Flow velocities in vegetated...
