Zhang, E.F. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Chen, S.L. (author), Mao, X.H. (author)An analytical model for tidal dynamics has been applied to the Yangtze Estuary for the first time, to describe the tidal propagation in this large and typically branched estuary with three-order branches and four outlets to the sea. This study shows that the analytical model developed for a single-channel estuary can also accurately describe the...journal article 2012

(author)Evolution of meanders, a complex morpho-dynamic process, has been the focus of research challenging river engineers for decades. The study replicates the natural evolution of meandering processes by coupling the Bank Erosion and Retreat Model (BERM, by Chen and Duan) with a nonlinear flow model (by Blanckaert and de Vriend). Distinguished from...conference paper 2012

Yao, P. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author), Zhang, C.K. (author), Su, M. (author), Chen, Y.P. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)One of the characteristics of the radial sand ridge field (RSRF) in the South Yellow Sea off the Jiangsu coast is the distinctive radial tidal current field. Although many studies have focused on the hydrodynamic environment around radial sand ridges, the knowledge on the genesis of the radial tidal current is still in a very basic stage. This...conference paper 2013

Chen, H.X. (author), Zhang, L.M. (author)Shallow slope failures are one of the most frequent geological hazards in mountainous areas, which pose great danger to people and properties in affected areas. This paper presents a cell-based platform for quantitative risk assessment for shallow slope failures at a regional scale. There are five components in this platform; namely, a digital...conference paper 2015

Gao, L. (author), Zhang, L.M. (author), Chen, H.X. (author)Due to hilly terrain and frequent heavy rainstorms, debris flow is one of the most common and catastrophic hazards in Hong Kong. To mitigate the debris flow risk, prediction of the magnitude and consequence of debris flow is essential. The objective of this paper is to simulate debris flow hazards in a study area in Hong Kong. Assessment of the...conference paper 2015
