Pressurized groundwater outflow experiments and numerical modeling for outflow channels on Mars (2014)
Journal Article
Marra, W. A., Hauber, E., McLelland, S. J., Murphy, B. J., Parsons, D. R., Conway, S. J., …Kleinhans, M. G. (2014). Pressurized groundwater outflow experiments and numerical modeling for outflow channels on Mars. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 119(12), 2668-2693. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014JE004701

© 2014. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. The landscape of Mars shows incised channels that often appear abruptly in the landscape, suggesting a groundwater source. However, groundwater outflow processes are unable to explain the recon... Read More about Pressurized groundwater outflow experiments and numerical modeling for outflow channels on Mars.

Physical modelling of water, fauna and flora: Knowledge gaps, avenues for future research and infrastructural needs (2014)
Journal Article
Thomas, R. E., Johnson, M. F., Frostick, L. E., Parsons, D. R., Bouma, T. J., Dijkstra, J. T., …Vousdoukas, M. I. (2014). Physical modelling of water, fauna and flora: Knowledge gaps, avenues for future research and infrastructural needs. Journal of Hydraulic Research, 52(3), 311-325. https://doi.org/10.1080/00221686.2013.876453

Physical modelling is a key tool for generating understanding of the complex interactions between aquatic organisms and hydraulics, which is important for management of aquatic environments under environmental change and our ability to exploit ecosys...

Flow separation at the inner (convex) and outer (concave) banks of constant-width and widening open-channel bends (2012)
Journal Article
Blanckaert, K., Kleinhans, M. G., Mclelland, S. J., Uijttewaal, W. S., Murphy, B., van de Kruijs, A., …Chen, Q. (2013). Flow separation at the inner (convex) and outer (concave) banks of constant-width and widening open-channel bends. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 38(7), 696-716. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3324

There is a paucity of data and insight in the mechanisms of, and controls on flow separation and recirculation at natural sharply-curved river bends. Herein we report on successful laboratory experiments that elucidate flow structure in one constant-...

Statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in the space and time domains (2009)
Journal Article
Nazarenko, S., Lukaschuk, S., McLelland, S., & Denissenko, P. (2010). Statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in the space and time domains. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 642, 395-420. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112009991820

We present experimental results on simultaneous spacetime measurements for the gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We compare these results with predictions of the weak turbulence theory (WTT) based on random waves, as well as with p...

Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics (2009)
Journal Article
Lukaschuk, S., Nazarenko, S., McLelland, S., & Denissenko, P. (2009). Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics. Physical review letters, 103(4), Article ARTN 044501. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.044501

We present the first simultaneous space-time measurements for gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We found that the slopes of k and ω wave spectra depend on wave intensity. This cannot be explained by any existing theory considering... Read More about Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics.

Late quaternary valley fill sediments in the River Tyne valley: Understanding late Devensian deglaciation and early postglacial response in northern England (2008)
Thesis
Yorke, L. (2008). Late quaternary valley fill sediments in the River Tyne valley: Understanding late Devensian deglaciation and early postglacial response in northern England. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209010

This thesis reconstructs part of the deglacial and early post-glacial history of the River Tyne Valley, Northumberland. Data has been gathered through description and interpretation of sedimentary sequences and stratigraphies from quarry and cut-bank...

Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow
Journal Article
Wunder, S., Trevisson, M., Heckele, C., Chagot, L., Murphy, B., McLelland, S., …Eiff, O. (2018). Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow. E3S Web of Conferences, 40, Article 02057. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20184002057

Vegetation patches are particularly difficult to quantify in terms of flow resistance due to their complex geometry and topological behaviour under hydrodynamic loading. They not only influence the water level and mean velocities due to the drag they... Read More about Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow.
