Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems. (2023)
Thesis
Bodewes, B. Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4443326

The physical behaviour of fluvial systems have been studied in detail and as have their representations of the impact and interaction between hydraulic and sedimentological features within these river systems. However, there is limited understanding... Read More about Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems..

Density stratification controls the bedform phase diagram of saline-gravity currents versus open-channel flows (2023)
Journal Article
Ohata, K., de Cala, I., Dorrell, R. M., Naruse, H., McLelland, S. J., Simmons, S. M., & McCaffrey, W. D. (in press). Density stratification controls the bedform phase diagram of saline-gravity currents versus open-channel flows. Sedimentology, https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.13075

Sedimentary bedforms such as ripples and dunes are generated both by river flows and sediment-laden gravity currents. Gravity current deposits are usually parameterized using existing bedform phase diagrams which are based on data from laboratory exp...

Modelling the impact of seismic landslides on landscape evolution (2023)
Thesis
Xie, J. (2023). Modelling the impact of seismic landslides on landscape evolution. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4923124

Mass movements such as landslides are prominent sources of sediment in active mountain belts. As evidenced by recent earthquakes in Chi-Chi, Wenchuan and Gorkha, seismic triggered landslides can have a major impact on river basins and landscape evolu...

Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Fernandez, R. L., McLelland, S., Parsons, D. R., & Bodewes, B. (2021). Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 46(11), 2315-2329. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5177

With riverine flooding set to be more frequent in many parts of the world as a result of climate change, the interactions between fluvial morphodynamics and riparian vegetation may depend in part on the sequence of flood events. This paper describes... Read More about Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics.

UK Parliament Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee Flooding Inquiry: Written Evidence from Dr Kate Smith et al. (FLO0043) (2021)
Report
Smith, K., Thomas, R. E., Skinner, C., Davidson, G., Parsons, D., McLelland, S., Coulthard, T., Malik, K., Harrison, L., Ramsden, S., Moloney, J., Ahmed, J., Carter, C., Wolstenholme, J., Halstead, F., & Betts, P. (2021). UK Parliament Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee Flooding Inquiry: Written Evidence from Dr Kate Smith et al. (FLO0043)

This submission presents the research conducted within the Energy and Environment Institute at the University of Hull. Our work demonstrates that hazards represented by flooding have multiple dimensions, and that solutions to them need to take these...

On the hydrodynamics of flexible vegetation canopies (2021)
Thesis
Houseago, R. On the hydrodynamics of flexible vegetation canopies. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4200892

Aquatic vegetation canopies, including seagrasses, provide a host of ecosystem services within coastal environments. The environmental, social, and economic benefits are primarily controlled by the detailed interactions between hydrodynamics and cano...

Asymmetric effects of a modelled tidal turbine on the flow and seabed (2020)
Journal Article
Ramírez -Mendoza, R., Murdoch, L., Jordan, L. B., Amoudry, L. O., McLelland, S., Cooke, R. D., Thorne, P., Simmons, S. M., Parsons, D., & Vezza, M. (2020). Asymmetric effects of a modelled tidal turbine on the flow and seabed. Renewable energy, 159, 238-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2020.05.133

The extraction of power from the flow of water has become an important potential source of clean energy. In spite of significant interest in the interaction between energy extraction devices and water currents, comparatively little work has focused o...

A three-dimensional tidal turbine simulation based on an oceanographic numerical model has been tested for suspended sediment calculation, particularly in the wake of a standalone tidal turbine. The results suggest a need for further improvement of t... Read More about Three-dimensional modelling of suspended sediment transport in the far wake of tidal stream turbines.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 123(11), 2784-2801. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JF004681

Based on bed form experiments in a large‐scale flume, we demonstrate that the rate of development of wave ripples on a mixed sand‐clay bed under regular waves is significantly lower than on a pure‐sand bed, even at clay fractions as low as 4.2%, and...
