Abstract:Large sandbars resulted from the instability of loose sedimentary materials are very common in lowland rivers. These, not only, interrupt the inland waterways at low flow, but also make the channels highly unstable forming anabranches, influencing bank erosion, and so on. Groins have key roles to play in such cases. Formation processes of sandbars and their interactions with groins become very urgent to learn for better management of river engineering. RIC-Nays, a two-dimensional model for flow and morphology,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
