1. introduction floods are among earth's most common and most destructive natural hazards. floods create geomorphic hazards via changes in sediment transport and channel configuration (e.g. channel width, lateral migration, planform changes, etc). in this context, floodplain zoning and its application in spatial planning is important in non- structural measures in order to reducing flood damage...

Various definitions of stream channel stability are presented including "the natural stable channel", the graded river, dynamic equilibrium, and regime channels, and a quantitative assessment methodology is presented that distinguishes between stability states. The assessment procedure involves a stream channel stability prediction and validation methodology on a hierarchical framework. The str...

This paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. The two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. The exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave...

While external factors (drivers) determine the net heat energy and water delivered to a stream, the internal structure of a stream determines how heat and water will be distributed within and exchanged among a stream's components (channel, alluvial aquifer, and riparian zone/floodplain). Therefore, the interaction between external drivers of stream temperature and the internal structure of inte...

abstract a significant deficiency of most computer models used for stream floodplain analysis is that the locations of structures impacted by floodwaters, such as bridges, roads, and buildings, cannot be effectively compared to the floodplain location. this research presents a straightforward approach for processing output of the hec-ras hydraulic model, to enable two- and three dimensional flo...
