摘要

The study of sediment transport is complex, and in this book the authors aim to bring together the most recent research with which to present the updated theories of sediment transport. The authors summarize the classical and statistical approaches of the subject, before going on to review common problematic issues that researchers frequently encounter. Only then do they start to present the subject area from a micromechanical standpoint. These chapters centre on the turbulence of flow–sediment interactions and flow separation as it applies to bedforms.
