Experimental assessment of Owen's second hypothesis on surface shear stress induced by a fluid during sediment saltation

Michael Lehning, Benjamin Andreas Walter

A widely used, yet thus far unproven, fluid dynamical hypothesis originally presented by P. R. Owen 50years ago, states that the surface shear stress induced by a fluid on the ground during equilibrium sediment saltation is constant and independent of the ...

Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...

Flow-induced uprooting of young vegetation on river bedforms

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Riparian vegetation stabilizes sediment by its roots and henceforth impacts riparian morphodynamics. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars or islands, juvenile plants are exposed to a high risk of mortality due to uprooting by floods. ...

Comprehensive numerical simulations of sediment transport and flushing of a Peruvian reservoir

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Philippe Heller

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in reservoirs, especially for sudden events such as flushing, is still a challenging research topic. In the present study, sediment transport and sediment flushing are simulated for a Peruvian reservoir. Situated in ...

From bedform evolution to channel slope fluctuations in steep-slope streams.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, François Mettra, Hongbo Ma

In mountain streams, bedload transport rates are prone to strong variability. Indeed an increasing number of laboratory and field studies in steep-slope conditions show fluctuations of bedload transport rate over several temporal and spatial scales. This b ...

Statistical mechanics of wind wave-induced erosion in shallow tidal basins: Inferences from the Venice Lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Wind wave-induced erosional effects are among the chief landscape-forming processes in tidal biomorphodynamics. Wave-driven bottom erosion, in fact, controls the equilibrium elevation and dynamics of subtidal and tidal flat surfaces, and the impact of wave ...

Time Dependent Failure Analysis of Compressed Riprap as Riverbank Protection

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Riprap is a common measure for protecting river banks against lateral erosion and several methods exist to design them. However, they are generally limited to dumped medium size rocks. If large rock blocks are required for stability reasons, they cannot be ...

The Hairsine-Rose Soil Erosion Model: Analysis for Total Sediment Concentration

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

The Hairsine-Rose (HR) model considers rainfall- and shear-driven erosion of the soil bed, overland transport and sediment deposition. Here, we consider the model for rainfall-driven erosion. The model takes account of the different erodabilities of the or ...
