Coherent Flow Structures in Open Channels presents the first
integrated treatment, across a wide range of spatial and temporal
scales, of the origins and characteristics of coherent fluid
motions and their influence on sediment transport and bed
morphology. This book contains contributions from an international
and interdisciplinary authorship who are responsible for many of
the recent advances in geophysical boundary layer research.
Coherent flow structures are examined systematically across a range
of scales from flat-bed boundary layers, grain and bedform
roughness generated structures through to the largest scales, where
structures may be associated with bars, meander bends and channel
confluences. The book is broadly organized according to the spatial
scales of coherent flow structures and presents a treatise on the
study of these motions from theoretical, experimental and
field-based approaches. These papers describe the origins,
evolution and characteristics of coherent flow structures and the
control which they may impart on sediment transport, both as a bed
and suspended load, and ultimately on channel morphology. The book
also highlights future research themes required to advance the
interdisciplinary understanding of these complex, yet ubiquitous,
natural flows. The research presented here will find applications
within many fields, including geomorphology, sedimentology, the
physical and numerical modelling of two-phase flows, environmental
fluid and sediment dynamics and river engineering.
