Process-based, spatially-explicit modelling of riparian forest dynamics in Central Europe

During the last decades public awareness of the limitations of traditional engineering practices and the imperative to conserve nature have led to changes in river management; including river restoration measures. The enlargement of the fluvial corridor is ...

A variable-volume TDR probe for measuring water content in large soil volumes

Dani Or

Management of favorable conditions for plant growth within partially wet soil volumes under drip irrigation presents a measurement challenge. Typically, soil water status is determined from a single point measurement or several point measurements within th ...

Assessment of microbial community changes and limiting factors during bioremediation of hydrocarbon-polluted soil with new miniaturized physiological methods

Karin Kaufmann

Due to human activities, organic pollutants are spilled to the environment where they threaten public health, often as contaminants of soil or groundwater. Living organisms are able to transform or mineralize many organic pollutants, and bioremediation tec ...

Axysimetrical water infiltration in soil imaged by non-invasive electrical resistivimetry

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

Axisymetrical infiltration of water in soil has been largely studied since the development of tension disc infiltrometers. Procedures have been developed to derive the hydraulic properties of soils from axisymetrical infiltration measurements but rely on s ...

Cavitation Erosion Prediction in Hydro Turbines from Onboard Vibrations

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Eduard Egusquiza

The current work intends to improve the cavitation erosion prediction methodology in hydro turbines by the use of onboard vibration measurements taken on the rotating shaft. For that, a measuring campaign in two similar Francis turbine prototypes has been ...

Soil erosion due to rainfall impact with inflow: An analytical solution with spatial and temporal effects

David Andrew Barry

An approximate analytical solution is obtained for a physically based model of soil erosion on a gentle slope driven by rainfall impact in which there is inflow of clear or nearly clear water to the top of the soil bed. Comparison of the approximate analyt ...

The effect of seasonal soil frost on the alpine groundwater recharge including climate change aspects

Daniel Bayard

In alpine areas, the snow cover plays an important role as a water reservoir. Water is stored as snow over the winter and released in spring, recharging mountain aquifers through infiltration. These aquifers are essential, especially for supplying water fo ...

Use of environmental tracing to constrain a rainfall-runoff model. Application to the Haute-Mentue catchment

André Musy

Presented study is aimed at using additional information to improve process representativity of hydrological modelling. The study region is the Haute-Mentue catchment located in the western part of Switzerland, 20 km north of Lausanne. Previous research in ...

Column flow in stratified soils and fingers in Hele-Shaw cells: A review

David Andrew Barry

We examine the development of instability studies in the oil industry and in soil physics, the former being far more advanced has tended to mold the latter. This had some unfortunate consequences as oil studies tended to rely heavily on Hele-Shaw cells, wh ...
