ABSTRACT

This chapter considers some further practical issues in river engineering and suggests how the CES-AES software might be used to investigate them. The issues considered relate to river ecology, sediment transport, geomorphology, trash screens and blockages to culverts. A brief overview is given of 1-D, 2-D and 3-D approaches to modelling river flows, and sets the CES-AES software in this context. The chapter concludes with some high level flow charts that indicate how the software might be adapted for other specific research purposes.
