Abstract:Understanding the erosion–deposition process of sediments and the associated controlling mechanisms in subaqueous deltas is important for coastal environment protection. In this study, field observations and numerical simulations were performed for the Nanliu River subaqueous delta in Guangxi Province (Southern China) to investigate the sediment dynamic processes at the bottom boundary layer. The results show that the sediment resuspension mainly occurs during periods of spring tides and is mainly controlled b… 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.
