Description :
The research questions discussed in this article are central to the understanding of fluvial processes in both sand- and gravel-bedded rivers. Prominent research themes are identified. The first is the use of fractal concepts in the study of fluvial processes. The second is the study of turbulent flow structures. Finally, this review clearly focused on bed microtopography and related flow turbulence and sediment transport processes.
