Thesecoherent flow structures can include eddies or vortices at the scale of individual grains, through structures thatscale with the flow depth in rivers or estuaries, to the large-scale structure of flows at the morphological orlandform scale. These flow structures are of wide interest to the scientific community because they play animportant role in fluid dynamics and influ.
