  • Role of bed level variability on tracer dispersal in an equilibrium bed

    Modeling problems in which movement of individual grains plays an important role, such as tracer dispersal and the emplacement of grain fabrics remain challenging. An analytical solution describing the streamwise and vertical dispersal of tracers in an equilibrium bed of uniform sediment was derived with a vertically continuous, morphodynamic approach and tested against laboratory and […]
