Effects of three plant root systems on rill erosion characteristics on coal dump slopes under simulated experiments

Dump slopes have experienced severe rill erosion and threaten the safety of the ecological environment. Although vegetation restoration has improved the ecological environments of mining areas, because...

Local erosion and mound formation induced by turbulent slurry wall jets in crossflow

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation on the local erosion and mound formation induced by slurry turbulent circular wall jets in crossflow and with the presence of a secondary...

The relationship between flow depth and hydraulic parameters for high surface roughness of vegetation stem cover under laboratory simulation

Grass, shrubs and tree stems can increase flow depth and resistance and prevent soil erosion, and it is necessary to quantify the relationship between flow depth and hydraulic parameters for high surface...

Insights into the impacts of inflow discharge variation on cross-sectional topography in the upper neck area of a laboratory-scale subaerial delta from SWJ–LSTM simulations

Rivers significantly influence delta morphology and sedimentation patterns. However, the dynamic effects of rivers on the upper neck areas of subaerial deltas, which are the complex zones connecting...

Sediment deposition in an upwelling rocky-reef in southwest Atlantic Ocean

Sediment is highly related to coral reef degradation worldwide, and sedimentation is considered a critical cause of stress for coral communities. The current study focused on the Arraial do Cabo Marine...

Experimental study on scour around beveled submerged vanes

Submerged vanes are an effective approach to sediment management in river systems. Nowadays, submerged vanes are increasingly utilized in contemporary river engineering due to their convenient and cost-effective...

Influence of propeller clearance on the jet scour process in restricted water

Rapid development of inland waterways and marine transportation has resulted in the construction of large ships and an increase in ship speed. Consequently, severe local scour erosion of restricted...

Multi-year deployment of a single high-frequency acoustic attenuation system for measuring fine suspended sediments in stream channels

The National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) at The University of Mississippi has developed a single-frequency acoustic attenuation system (SFAAS) to monitor the concentration of suspended fine...

Impact of the solid volume fraction of clay and consolidation on the erodibility of sand-mud mixtures

The erodibility of sediment mixtures is a key factor in sediment dynamic processes and morphological evolution in coastal environments. However, it remains insufficiently understood. In the current...

Effect of reservoir management on the efficiency of a sediment bypass tunnel: Case study of Solis Reservoir, Switzerland

Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) divert sediment-laden flows from river systems around reservoirs to the tailwater reach and thus help prevent reservoir sedimentation. However, their bypassing efficiency...

Visualization analysis of global research on river and lake sediment pollution management based on CiteSpace

River and lake sediment is a crucial and sensitive area for the interaction between nature and human activities in the Earth's spheres. CiteSpace was applied to analyze the status quo of global river...

Fortnightly variation in sediment-induced stratification in a macro-tidal estuary and its impacts on sediment movement

Understanding the evolution of density stratification in estuaries is essential due to its significant impact on hydrodynamics and material transport processes. In this study, the Environmental Fluid...

Long-term succession of fish biodiversity in the Yellow River Estuary under the influence of water–sediment regime changes

The estuarine reach of the Yellow River (YRE), located within the core zone of the Yellow River Delta Reserve, serves as a critical zone where the conservation and restoration of fish biodiversity constitute...

A retrogressive erosion model with automatic adjustment for sediment entrainment dominated and mass failure dominated bed deformation

Retrogressive erosion, a critical process impacting river engineering structures, channel geomorphology, and reservoir sediment management, manifests primarily in two distinct forms: rotating and stepped...

Comparative contribution of planted and natural forest to sediment yield using biological indicators of TOC and n-alkanes

Understanding sediment sources and budgeting is crucial for effective watershed management and soil conservation. This study employs n-alkanes as biomarkers to trace sediment origins in a small watershed...

Suspended sediment concentration within submerged vegetation canopies: An improved method

Aquatic vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating sediment transport and maintaining the stability of aquatic ecosystems. To investigate the turbulence structure and suspended sediment distribution...

Grain size distribution and characterization of sedimentary processes of Cox's Bazar Beach, Bangladesh: Implications for understanding coastal morphodynamics

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing modern beach development along the southeastern Bengal Basin coast by analyzing the grain size and heavy mineral (HM) distribution in sediment....

Why did an ancient basin suddenly experience debris flows outbreak and migration in recent 50 years?

Tongde Basin, situated on the east edge of Tibetan Plateau, has accumulated substantial deposits of pebble-sand. The uplift of the Tibetan Plateau has initiated incision in the upper reaches of the...

Prediction of scour profiles downstream of grade control structures via the shear stress and sediment bed curvature model

A new semianalytical model for the prediction of local scour profiles downstream from typical grade-control structures is proposed on the basis of the variation in bed shear stress and the sediment...

Multidimensional assessment and precision restoration strategies for soil erosion in karst areas: Based on multi-scenario simulation

Karst landscapes are plagued by severe soil erosion due to their fractured lithology and complex hydrology, posing persistent challenges to erosion assessment and ecological restoration. However, current...

Prediction of suspended sediment concentration in fluvial flows using novel hybrid deep learning model

Accurately predicting suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in fluvial systems is essential for environmental monitoring, flood management, and riverine engineering applications. This study introduces...

Effects of land management practices on runoff and soil and nutrient losses in the rainfed agroecosystem of the Beles River Basin, Ethiopia

The Beles River Basin is facing severe soil erosion driven by human-induced activities, leading to significant losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients (nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)). Effective...

Transport of suspended sand and mud over a mud-sand bed

This study is focused on the experimental and numerical modelling of sand and mud transport over mud-sand beds with percentages of fines (< 63 μm) up to 50% in conditions with currents, waves and combined...
