A longstanding problem in the study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers is related to the physical mechanisms governing bed resistance and particle motion. To study this problem, we investigated the motion of coarse spherical glass beads entrained b ...
In this paper, we seek similarity solutions to the shallow water (Saint-Venant) equations for describing the motion of a non-Boussinesq, gravity-driven current in an inertial regime. The current is supplied in fluid by a source placed at the inlet of a hor ...
This paper develops a new approach to computing the shear rate from the torque and rotationalvelocity measurements in a Couette rheometer. It is based on wavelet-vaguelette decomposition (WVD) proposed by Donoho (Donoho, D., Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 2, ...
The idea that snow avalanches might behave as granular flows, and thus be described as Coulomb fluid flows, came up very early in the scientific study of avalanches, but it is not until recently that field evidence has been provided that demonstrates the r ...
