Simulation of the hydroabrasive erosion of a bucket: A multiscale model with projective integration to circumvent the spatio-temporal scale separation

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

The hydroabrasive erosion of hydraulic machine components, especially Pelton buckets and needles, is a widespread problem that entails significant costs. The multiscale nature of the process renders its simulation very computationally demanding unless spec ...

Time-dependent failure analysis of large block size riprap as bank protection in mountain rivers

Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Erodible river banks need to be safe against the possible scouring during flood events in mountain rivers. The consequences of the bank failure are probably lateral uncontrolled erosion and flooding with disastrous losses in residential areas or damage of ...

Spatial patterns of aeolian sediment deposition in vegetation canopies: observations from wind tunnel experiments using colored sand

Katherine Colby Leonard

In environments affected by wind erosion, plants act as traps for aeolian sediment, which leads to a small-scale mosaic of depositional and erosional sediment transport regimes. This wind tunnel study used colored sand to visualize spatial patterns of sedi ...

Laboratory-scale dam-break study of gravity currents with basal entrainment: PIV measurements of a viscous newtonian fluid over a horizontal bed of the same ﬂuid.

Christophe Ancey, Belinda Margaret Bates

Geophysical gravity flows such as avalanches and debris flows belong to a special class of hazardous environmental event, in which a mixture of solids and fluids (e.g. debris and mud, snow and air) flow as a liquid and may run out much further than expecte ...

An observation-based stochastic model for sediment and vegetation dynamics in the floodplain of an Alpine braided river

Paolo Perona, Peter Molnar

Riparian vegetation dynamics in Alpine rivers are to a large extent driven by the timing and magnitude of floods which inundate the floodplain, transport sediment, erode the river bed, and create and destroy suitable germination sites. Here we present a st ...
