A physically based model to predict hydraulic erosion of fine-grained riverbanks: The role of form roughness in limiting erosion

Hydraulic erosion of bank toe materials is the dominant factor controlling the long-term rate of riverbank retreat. In principle, hydraulic bank erosion can be quantified using an excess shear stress model, but difficulties in estimating input parameters seriously inhibit the predictive accuracy of...
