Modeling of multilayer cohesive bank erosion with a coupled bank stability and mobile-bed model (2014)
Journal Article
Lai, Y. G., Thomas, R. E., Ozeren, Y., Simon, A., Greimann, B. P., & Wu, K. (2015). Modeling of multilayer cohesive bank erosion with a coupled bank stability and mobile-bed model. Geomorphology, 243, 116-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.07.017

Streambank erosion can be an important form of channel change in unstable alluvial environments. It should be accounted for in geomorphic studies, river restoration, dam removal, and channel maintenance projects. Recently, one-dimensional and two-dim...

CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-10

The previous chapter outlined the challenges of looking after plants and animals hydraulic experiments. These challenges can be circumvented if inanimate surrogates can be substituted for the prototype organisms without detriment to the relevance of...

CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-14

Most studies on coastal and fluvial hydro-and morpho-dynamics have focused on flow properties and their interactions with sediments. However, it has long been accepted that vegetation is also an important factor that can affect the flow in, and the m... Read More about Plants, hydraulics and sediment dynamics.

Near-bed and surface flow division patterns in experimental river bifurcations (2014)
Journal Article
Marra, W. A., Parsons, D. R., Kleinhans, M. G., Keevil, G. M., & Thomas, R. E. (2014). Near-bed and surface flow division patterns in experimental river bifurcations. Water Resources Research, 50(2), 1506-1530. https://doi.org/10.1002/2013WR014215

Understanding channel bifurcation mechanics is of great importance for predicting and managing multichannel river processes and avulsion in distributary river deltas. To date, research on river channel bifurcations has focused on factors determining... Read More about Near-bed and surface flow division patterns in experimental river bifurcations.
