Sediment Transport

More about the book

Focusing on sediment transport, this book delves into the interactions between turbulent flows and solid particles, updating existing theories with new insights from recent research. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between engineers and physicists, organizing content into four parts. The first part covers classical and statistical approaches for engineers, while the second reviews critical issues like rheology and turbulence for physicists. The third part introduces micromechanical principles and highlights flow separation as a key mechanism in bedform formation.
