In the research on environmental hydraulics, its turbulence, and its sediment transport, constant challenges have been faced. The complexity of hydraulic impacts on sediment transport and turbulent flow properties makes research in this area a difficult task. However, due to pressure from climate change and the mounting issue of pollution, environmental flow studies are more crucial than ever. Bedforming within rivers is a complex process that can be influenced by the hydraulics, vegetated field, and various suspended and bedload transports. Changes in flow conditions due to rain and flood can further complicate a hydraulic system. To date, the turbulence, morphologic, and bedforming characteristics of natural environmental flows are still not well understood. This book aims to bring together a collection of state-of-the-art research and technologies to form a useful guide for the related research and engineering communities. It may be useful for authorities, researchers, and environmental, civil, and water engineers to understand the current state-of-the-art practices in environmental flow modelling, measurement, and management. It may also be a good resource for research, post-, or undergraduate students who wish to know about the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.

The main focus of this Special Issue of Water is the state-of-the-art and recent research on turbulence and flow–sediment interactions in open-channel flows. Our knowledge of river hydraulics is deepening, thanks to both laboratory/field experiments related to the characteristics of turbulence and their link to erosion, transport, deposition, and local scouring phenomena. Collaboration among engineers, physicists, and other experts is increasing and furnishing new inter-/multidisciplinary perspectives to the research of river hydraulics and fluid mechanics. At the same time, the development of both sophisticated laboratory instrumentation and computing skills is giving rise to excellent experimental–numerical comparative studies. Thus, this Special Issue, with ten papers by researchers from many institutions around the world, aims at offering a modern panoramic view on all the above aspects to the vast audience of river researchers.

Technology: general issues --- wavelet coherency --- Taylor’s frozen turbulence hypothesis --- scale --- hairpin vortex packet --- open channel flow --- bridge pier --- horseshoe vortex --- Physical hydraulic modeling --- quadrant analysis --- Scour and Velocity field --- hydraulics --- turbulent flow --- wall-wake flow --- dunal bedform --- horizontal cylinder --- turbulence structures --- scour --- velocity field --- turbulence --- equilibrium scour depth --- new scaling of scour depth --- ejections --- turbulence interactions --- gravel beds --- sediment transport --- surface and subsurface flows --- river hydrodynamics --- ADCP --- bedforms morphology --- river confluence --- Amazon River --- Yeongsan estuary --- freshwater discharge --- two-layer circulation --- Reynolds stress --- bottom turbulence --- suspended sediment concentration --- sediment kinematics --- entrainment --- disentrainment --- anisotropy --- rigid vegetation --- sediments --- local scouring --- erosion --- transport --- deposition --- open-channel flows --- laboratory experiments
