Turbulence: Perspectives on Flow and Sediment Transport outlines the fundamental principles of the measurement and analysis of turbulent flow and sediment transport. It reviews laboratory work over the last three decades on near-boundary flow structure, as well as providing more recent research dealing with the high frequency monitoring and modelling of sediment transport. The research sections address aspects of turbulence characteristics and sediment behaviour in fluvial, tidal and aeolian boundary layers. Throughout, emphasis is upon the practicalities of measurement and modelling under field conditions. The effects of roughness transitions are extensively discussed and some of the most popular instrumentation is reviewed. This book brings together contributions from twenty researchers worldwide from many disciplines connected with earth sciences, engineering and fluid dynamics, providing both review material and some of the latest research into the small-scale interactions of turbulence and sediment transport in geophysical boundary layers. The book is ideally suited to a wide audience, from advanced undergraduate level onwards.
