Concept of Bed Roughness Boundary Layer and Its Application to Bed Load Transport in Flow with Non-Submerged Vegetation

Calculating bed load transport in steep boulder bed channels

[1] Steep, rough channels occupy a large fraction of the total channel length in mountainous regions. Most sediment mobilized on hillslopes must pass through these streams before reaching lower-gradient channels. Steep channels have wide grain size distributions that are composed of finer, more mobile sediment and large, rarely mobile grains. The large grains can bear a significant portion of t...

Prediction of Vegetation Cover Effect on Bank and Bed Hydraulic Roughness Coefficient in Shiraz Khoshk River

Soil and water resources management of rivers has an important role because of direct relation withdifferent systems such as earth, life, social and people. Although the use of vegetation cover inbioengineering and biological stabilization and also soil and water resources management projects hasmany advantages, but improper methods of design and implementation cause hydraulic specificationsof ...

Formation of a sandy near-bed transport layer from a fine-grained bed under oscillatory flow

[1] Bed surface coarsening was found to be an important effect for the formation of ripples and the dynamics of the boundary layer above a predominantly silt-sized sediment bed (median particle size equal to 26 mm; 20% fine sand, 70% silt, 10% clay) under oscillatory flow (with orbital velocities of 0.32–0.52 m/s) in a laboratory wave duct. Following bed liquefaction, substantial winnowing of t...

Bed-load Transport of Mixed-size Sediment: Fractional Transport Rates, Bed Forms, and the Development of a Coarse Bed-surface Layer

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
