the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...

Despite its limitations, the Chezy bed shear stress formula is commonly used in depth-averaged flow numerical models as closure for estimating mutual tractive stresses with underneath boundaries. This paper proposes a novel moment-based that could be considered revised version of and can to estimate local variations under more complex varied conditions accelerating–decelerating fields. The depe...

Recent seismic studies of ice stream B, Antarctica and field analysis of mid-latitude glacial deposits suggest that deformable basal sediments (e.g., water-saturated till) are important in determining ice sheet flow. If the ratio of till viscosity to effective ice viscosity is small, vertical shear associated with horizontal flow is confined to the deforming bed alone. Ice flow over a deformabl...

[1] In this study we incorporate the existing concept of fractional mobility into a stochastic framework for modeling the partial transport of mixed-size sediment. The model predicts the fractional transport rates with parameters such as the long-run moving probability, mean particle velocity, and fractional mobility, all varying with the dimensionless effective shear stress. Movement of bed lo...
