Accurate prediction of longshore sediment transport in the nearshore is essential for the control of shoreline erosion and beach evolution. In this paper, the abilities of an hybrid Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), a Fuzzy Inference S ...
We perform an analysis of the observational morphological structure of a tidal landscape aimed at examining key assumptions on the geomorphological evolution of wetlands, lagoons, estuarine areas and tidal environments in general. The issues addressed pert ...
This article reports the comparison of structure and properties of titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) films deposited onto Si(100) substrates under normal and oblique angle depositions using pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature was set ...
An important task for coastal engineers is to predict the sediment transport rates in coastal regions with correct estimation of this transport rate, it is possible to predict both natural morphological or beach morphology changes and the influence of coas ...
This review proceeds from Luna Leopold's and Ronald Shreve's lasting accomplishments dealing with the study of random-walk and topologically random channel networks. According to the random perspective, which has had a profound influence on the interpretat ...
Numerical investigations covering all the physical processes occurring in the surf and swash zones, including the cross-shore and longshore flows, have not been fully developed, although considerable work in 2D has appeared in recent years. However, given ...
In alpine regions of Europe, river training works were typically the reason for the transformation of wide and braided rivers into linear river systems with a lack of structural diversity, i.e. gravel banks, islands, woody debris, riffles or pools. These i ...
A critical review of conceptual and mathematical models developed in recent decades on sediment transport in the swash zone is presented. Numerous studies of the hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the swash zone in recent years have pointed out the im ...
The study of texture in thin films is one of the possibilities to obtain information on the fundamental physical processes which govern the thin film growth. Near the substrate, the crystalline orientation of the coating layer will usually be influenced by ...
The temporal variability of streamflows is a key feature structuring and controlling ecological communities and ecosystem processes. The magnitude, frequency and predictability of streamflows, and thus of velocity and near-bed shear stress fields, control ...
