Propagation of aerated pyroclastic density current analogues : flow behaviour and the formation of bedforms and deposits (2020)
Thesis
Smith, G. M. (2020). Propagation of aerated pyroclastic density current analogues : flow behaviour and the formation of bedforms and deposits. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223270

Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) are deadly volcanic phenomena which pose an active risk to millions of people. Particularly dangerous due to their great unpredictability, despite decades of study the internal physics of PDCs are still poorly unde...

This study utilises an extensive set of sediment cores collected from a largely unstudied contourite and turbidite depositional system located on the Uruguay continental margin to identify a method of distinguishing deposits in the deep sea that are...

Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate (2019)
Thesis
Morris, C. S. (2019). Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222460

Coasts are vulnerable to changing environmental conditions and are likely to be affected by predicted sea level rise and wave climate variations over the next century. Predicting the likely response of coastal systems to these changes, including alte... Read More about Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate.

Dune dynamics under unsteady flows (2019)
Thesis
Hu, H. (2019). Dune dynamics under unsteady flows. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221728

River bedforms keep translating and deforming perpetually during their migration. During flow field unsteadiness they also change in size and shape over time and in space. However, our knowledge of how bedforms adapt to changing flows remains inadequ... Read More about Dune dynamics under unsteady flows.

Wake hydrodynamics downstream from a horizontal axis turbine under current flow and waves (2018)
Thesis
Jordan, L. (2018). Wake hydrodynamics downstream from a horizontal axis turbine under current flow and waves. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220800

Due to concerns over the potential impacts of climate change on the environment, there is a growing interest in developing renewable forms of energy. Tidal streams are a potential source of renewable energy that can be harnessed for electricity gener...

Wave-induced ripple development in mixed clay-sand substrates (2017)
Thesis
Wu, X. (2017). Wave-induced ripple development in mixed clay-sand substrates. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220909

Wave-induced ripples are significant tools in reconstructing a range of paleo-environments and in establishing predictors of sediment transport in modern estuarine, marine and coastal environments. Previous studies, however, have focused on the dynam... Read More about Wave-induced ripple development in mixed clay-sand substrates.

Barscale morphodynamics through the tidal-fluvial transition (2016)
Thesis
Keevil, C. E. (2016). Barscale morphodynamics through the tidal-fluvial transition. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219287

A complex transitional zone within river-estuary systems exists between fully-fluvial and fully-tidal conditions. This zone varies both spatially and temporally across a range of scales. The resultant sedimentary transport and depositional characteri... Read More about Barscale morphodynamics through the tidal-fluvial transition.

River dunes in unsteady conditions (2015)
Thesis
Unsworth, C. A. (2015). River dunes in unsteady conditions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217884

This thesis explores the nature of river dunes in unsteady conditions. River dune research has two main philosophical approaches that are necessitated by the nature of dunes; they are individually dynamic features emergent from the interaction betwee...

The influence of earth surface movements and human activities on the river Karun in lowland south-west Iran (2013)
Thesis
Woodbridge, K. P. (2013). The influence of earth surface movements and human activities on the river Karun in lowland south-west Iran. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215645

Earth surface movements are a primary external control on river system dynamics and evolution. It has often been observed that when responding to Earth surface motion driven by surface expression of folds, major rivers incise across young, active fol...
