Hydrodynamics is a branch of geophysics that describes how water moves and relates to sediments and other materials adjacent to or suspended in the flow. Hydrodynamics category is used to flag Efforts and Products that explore how rivers, tides, and waves capture and transport sediments to affect the structure of shorelines. Landforms are a natural way to organize this understanding, as the structure of landforms reflects physiographic processes
