The Specific Peculiarities of Relief Transformation and Shelly Sediment Differentiation in Coastal Zone
The settling velocities values of shelly sediment considerably differ from ones of the same particles of terrigeneous material and for this reason character and intensity of hydrodynamic...
The Courant Number and Unsteady Flow Computation
The Courant number C, the key to unsteady flow computation, is a ratio of physical wave velocity, λ, to computational signal-transmission velocity, τ, i.e., C = λ/τ. In this way, it uniquely...

Taking into account the fluctuations of the free surface for points in the vicinity of the still water level, this study analytically calculates the first four moments of wave velocity...
Wind Effect on Oblique Motion of Two Bodies in a Uniform Flow
The wind effect on the general translational motion of a circular cylinder through an inviscid and incompressible fluid, conveyed by a uniform flow at infinity, in the vicinity of another...
Similarity Solutions of Starting Jets and Starting Plumes
Similarity solutions of the starting jets and the starting plumes are obtained using a one dimensional model based on the top-hat profiles and the symmetry assumption for the velocity...
The Morphology and Dynamics of Natural and Laboratory Grain Flows
Artificially generated sand flows that display considerable similarity with field examples on eolian dunes allow documentation of the relationships between grainflow scales and the characteristics...
Discrete Mechanics of Sediment Transport
Usually a granular medium is being represented by a continuous approximation in which the degrees of freedom of individual grains are averaged away in favor of a partial differential equation...
A Sphere Moving Down an Inclined Bumpy Surface
A sphere moving down a bumpy incline in the air is studied theoretically and experimentally. A method based on the principle of energy conservation is used to express the average velocity...
