Although channelized urban streams provide aesthetic and economic value, they reduce
biodiversity and alter the habitats of aquatic organisms. Spur dikes not only prevent the …

River flooding has been causing extensive losses to life and property, which is a serious
concern worldwide. To minimize these losses, suitable planning and management practices …

This paper focuses on finding efficient solutions for the design of a highly permeable pile
spur (or slit type) dike field used in morphologically dynamic alluvial rivers. To test the …

The effect of using permeable spur dikes on the produced maximum scour depth compared
to that of solid spur dikes is numerically investigated. The numerical model used for such …

Due to a steep slope, rapid flow, and large amounts of sediment, rivers in Taiwan are
braided rivers that are full of bars and bifurcated flows. The channel shifting behavior and …

An open levee system is a traditional flood mitigation system for reducing the expansion of
inland flooding and decreasing the peak flow. However, there have been few quantitative …

Given the growing interest in river restoration and natural river improvement, groins are
recommended as an essential hydraulic component for creating riparian habitats and …

Backwater rise is a function of flow properties, fluid characteristics, and channel geometries.
Flume experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of the permeable spur dike …

Cylindrical weirs are one of the most commonly employed hydraulic structures to measure
flow, compare to other types of the same width they pass larger discharge. This paper …

Groynes installation is a popular measure to prevent riverbank erosion in braided rivers. In
this study, evaluation of groynes installation has been done at a vulnerable reach of the …
