The physics of debris flows — A conceptual assessment The physics of debris flows — A conceptual assessment
Debris flows exhibit conspicuous dynamic interactions among their solid and fluid constituents. Key features of the interactions are neglected in traditional theories that treat debris flows as viscoplastic continua or as uniformly dispersed grain flows, but improved understanding of grain-grain and fluid-grain interactions has emerged from recent experimental and theoretical research...

A model for tides and currents in the English Channel and southern North Sea A model for tides and currents in the English Channel and southern North Sea
The amplitude and phase of 11 tidal constituents for the English Channel and southern North Sea are calculated using a frequency domain, finite element model. The governing equations - the shallow water equations - are modifed such that sea level is calculated using an elliptic equation of the Helmholz type followed by a back-calculation of velocity using the primitive momentum equations

ANALYSIS OF ESTUARINE TRACER-GAS TRANSPORT AND DESORPTION. ANALYSIS OF ESTUARINE TRACER-GAS TRANSPORT AND DESORPTION.
The riverine tracer-gas technique provides a direct, reach-averaged measure of gas exchange, is fairly simple to implement, and is widely accepted for determining reaeration-rate coefficients in rivers. The method, however, is not directly applicable to flows having vertical density gradients. Consequently, studies were undertaken to develop and evaluate methods for obtaining surface...
