Nota di contenuto

Keynotes -- Advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion -- Coastal and offshore scour and erosion -- Internal erosion -- Management of scour/erosion and sediment (including hazard management and sedimentation in dams and reservoirs) -- River and estuarine erosion including scour around structures -- Sediment transport : grain scale and continuum scale -- Terrestrial scour and erosion.

Sommario/riassunto

Scour and Erosion includes four keynote lectures from world leading researchers cutting across the themes of scour and erosion, together with 132 peer-reviewed papers from 34 countries, covering the principal themes of: - internal erosion - sediment transport - grain scale to continuum scale - advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion - terrestrial scour and erosion- river and estuarine erosion including scour around structures, and - management of scour/erosion and sediment, including hazard management and sedimentation in



dams and reservoirs. Scour and Erosion is ideal for researchers and industry working at the forefront of scour and erosion, and has applications in both the freshwater and marine environments.
