Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions (2024)
Journal Article
Ferguson, R. I., Hardy, R. J., Hodge, R. A., Houseago, R. C., Yager, E. M., & Yamasaki, T. N. (online). Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.6016

Most ways of predicting flow resistance in shallow rivers with a partial or complete cover of coarse sediment use a bed‐sediment grain diameter as a roughness length scale. However, beds with the same grain size distribution differ in roughness and f... Read More about Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions.

Effects of vegetation density on flow, mass exchange and sediment transport in lateral cavities (2024)
Journal Article
de Oliveira, L. E., Yamasaki, T. N., Janzen, J. G., & Gualtieri, C. (2024). Effects of vegetation density on flow, mass exchange and sediment transport in lateral cavities. Journal of Hydrology, 632, Article 130910. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2024.130910

Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) were used to investigate the hydrodynamics and mass transfer between the flow in the main channel and a vegetated lateral cavity. Fourteen vegetation densities (0 to 10.65 %) were tested, revealing two distinct hydrodynam...
