Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective processes are often the dominant drivers for shaping mixing and stratification structure ...

Impact of Mineralogical Composition on Geotechnical Properties of Opalinus Clay

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay is the selected host geomaterial for the construction of underground geological disposals for radioactive waste in Switzerland. The formation has been studied in several sites, i.e. the Mont Terri laboratory, and several boreholes in the nort ...

Impact of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of planar 3D hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Weihan Zhang

Sedimentary rocks often exhibit a transverse isotropy due to fine scale layering. We investigate the effect of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of a planar 3D hydraulic fracture perpendicular to the isotropy plane: a configuration co ...

Uncertainty Quantification of geochemical and mechanical compaction in layered sedimentary basins

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini, Anna Scotti

In this work we propose an Uncertainty Quantification methodology for sedimentary basins evolution under mechanical and geochemical compaction processes, which we model as a coupled, time-dependent, non-linear, monodimensional (depth-only) system of PDEs w ...

Morphological resilience to flow fluctuations of fine sediment deposits in bank lateral cavities

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Matthias Thalmann

Lateral cavities are built in the banks of rivers for several purposes: to create harbors, to capture sed- iment, to keep a central navigable channel (i.e., Casiers de Girardon in the Rhone river) or to promote the formation of aquatic habitats if a limite ...

Reservoir stimulation’s effect on depletion-induced seismicity

Lyesse Laloui, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Gunter Siddiqi

Depletion-induced seismicity can pose a problem in some fluid-producing subsurface reservoirs, in some cases requiring production rate control in order to limit the seismicity. This study investigates the use of reservoir stimulation to reduce the depletio ...

Probabilistic Prediction and Forecast of Daily Suspended Sediment Concentration on the Upper Yangtze River

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

Sediment transport in suspension can represent more than 90% of a river's total annual flux of sediment. In the case of the Yangtze River, more than 99% of the sediment supplied to the sea is suspended load. Suspended sediment is thus an important componen ...

Effect of a collar on subsidence and local micromotion of cementless femoral stems: in vitro comparative study based on micro-computerised tomography

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine

Purpose The aim of this study is to quantitatively compare the difference in primary stability between collarless and collared versions of the same femoral stem. Specifically, we tested differences in subsidence and micromotion. Methods Collarless and coll ...

EFFECT OF THE BED LOAD GRADATION ON THE MORPHODYNAMICS OF DISCORDANT CONFLUENCES

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

Within the fluvial network, river confluences are particular areas characterized by complex hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and sedimentary processes. These processes have been observed to be governed by parameters such as the discharge ratio, the junction ang ...
