A computational fluid dynamics model for sediment movement based on the unit stream power approach

Bibliography: leaves 171-181. === This thesis introduces a three-dimensional numerical model based on the unit stream power approach for the prediction of scour profiles. The unit stream power approach is employed to define the incipient motion criteria for the sediment particles by comparing the av...
