Sediment Transport: Recent Advances

---

This book explores recent advances in the scientific understanding of sediment transport and its implications for aquatic environments, coastal areas, estuaries, and freshwater systems. It brings together research on the physical processes, mechanisms, and mathematical models that explain how sediments move, settle, and accumulate under different flow conditions. The book discusses sediment transport in steady and unsteady flows, cohesive sediment flocculation, mud rheology, and the application of experimental and numerical techniques to investigate sediment behavior. It also examines practical issues related to sediment management in ports and waterways, including dredging, sediment removal, and the monitoring of fluid mud using non-intrusive technologies. In addition, the book addresses sediment quality and contamination in aquatic environments, highlighting the environmental and economic consequences of sediment dynamics and human activities. By integrating theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, and practical applications, this volume provides valuable insights for researchers, engineers, environmental scientists, and professionals involved in coastal engineering, waterway management, sediment control, and aquatic environmental protection.
