The dynamics of river confluences and their effects on the ecology of aquatic environment: A review

S Yuan, L Xu, H Tang, Y **ao, C Gualtieri - Journal of Hydrodynamics, 2022 - Springer
Confluences act as critical nodes in a river system. They affect hydrodynamics, sediment
transport, bed morphology, and eco-hydraulics of the river system. Convergence of streams …

Flow structure at an asymmetrical stream confluence

BL Rhoads, ST Kenworthy - Geomorphology, 1995 - Elsevier
Measurements of downstream and cross-stream velocities at a small, asymmetrical stream
confluence show that the structure of low-stage flows is influenced by the tributary/main stem …

Effects of bed discordance on flow dynamics at open channel confluences

P Biron, JL Best, AG Roy - Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1996 - ascelibrary.org
Although a discordance in bed elevation between mainstream and tributary channels is a
common feature of most river confluences, this height differential is largely ignored in many …
