The effects of variation in wave period and flow asymmetry in sediment dynamics
The results of laboratory experiments are described, relating to aspects of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics under second-order Stokes type waves (or flows), of varying degrees of asymmetry. The majority of the measurements related to laminar and/or transitional flow conditions and were made …

Turbulence in geophysics: from rotating, ionized fluids to sediment transport
Part I: "Turbulence in the semiconducting regions of gas giant planets." The 'semiconducting' regions of gas giant planets, which lie between the fully ionized and electrically-neutral regions, have three distinct properties that make the dynamical nature of their flows unique. They are (i) …

Experimental Investigation of the Role of Turbulence Fluctuations on Incipient Motion of Sediment
The movement of granular material along a streambed has been a challenging subject for researchers for more than a century. Predicting the limiting case of nearly zero bedload transport, usually referred to as threshold of motion or critical condition, is even more challenging due to the highly …
