The Role of Vorticity, Turbulence and Three-dimensional Flow Structure on the Development of Scour

Fundamental to the understanding of how rivers transform and shape our environment is the role of turbulence and complex, three-dimensional flow, such as vorticity, in sediment transport and erosion. However, classical sediment transport models (or formulae) are based, for the most part, on boundary...
