Insights into the prediction capability of roughness coefficient in current ripple bedforms under varied hydraulic conditions

Ubiquitous flow bedforms such as ripples in rivers and coastal environments can affect transport conditions as they constitute the bed roughness elements. The roughness coefficient needs to be adequately quantified owing to its significant influence on the performance of hydraulic structures and riv...
