In this paper, we present and apply a new three-dimensional model for the prediction of canopy-flow and turbulence dynamics in open-channel flow. The approach uses a dynamic immersed boundary technique that is coupled in a sequentially staggered mann... Read More about High-resolution numerical modelling of flow-vegetation interactions.

Exploring the interaction between rivers and sand dunes : implications for fluvial-aeolian geomorphology (2014)
Thesis
Liu, B. (. S. Exploring the interaction between rivers and sand dunes : implications for fluvial-aeolian geomorphology. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217352

The interaction between fluvial and aeolian processes can significantly influence landforms. When rivers and sand dunes meet, the interaction of sediment transport between the two systems can lead to change in either one or both systems. However, the...
