Impact Assessment of Pumping Parameters on Groundwater Bacterial Communities

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani, Guillaume Laulan

Groundwater microbial community samples are traditionally collected using pumping techniques optimized for groundwater chemistry assessment, although the impact of groundwater pumping parameters on apparent bacterial community structures (BCSs) is not real ...

Improving stream flow discharge modelling during snow melt

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Charles Fierz

The importance of the snow cover for the hydrological cycle is well known but the understanding is still limited. For example, the effect of rain-on-snow on melt water runoff and the coupling between spring snow melt and stream flow discharge are difficult ...

A new prediction of wavelength selection in radial viscous fingering involving normal and tangential stresses

François Gallaire, Mathias Nagel

We reconsider the radial Saffman-Taylor instability when a fluid injected from a point source displaces another fluid of higher viscosity in a Hele-Shaw cell where the fluids are confined between two neighboring flat plates. The advancing fluid front is un ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : A quasi-optimal sparse grids procedure for groundwater flows

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we explore the extension of the quasi-optimal sparse grids method proposed in our previous work \On the optimal polynomial ap- proximation of stochastic PDEs by Galerkin and Collocation methods" to a Darcy problem where the permeability is mod ...

Alternative conceptual models and the robustness of groundwater management scenarios in the multi-aquifer system of the Central Veneto Basin, Italy

Andrea Rinaldo

A three-dimensional (3D) groundwater flow model of the deep multi-aquifer Quaternary deposits of the Po plain sedimentary basin, within a 3,300-km(2) area (Veneto, Italy), is developed, tested and applied to aid sustainable large-scale water-resources mana ...

Modelling migration and dissolution of mineral particles in saturated porous media

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Understanding and predicting the fate in soils and other porous media of solid mineral particles with grain diameters in the micrometer range is important in a number of environmental and civil engineering applications, including subsurface hydrology, wast ...

Assessing the Bacterial Ecology of Organohalide Respiration for the Design of Bioremediation Strategies

Noam Shani

Groundwater is essential for human activities and is sometimes referred to as a non-renewable resource in the same way as oil and gas. During the past century, precious groundwater reserves worldwide have been threatened by anthropogenic release of chemica ...

Hydraulic design of A-type Piano Key Weirs

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) are an alternative to linear overflow structures, increasing the unit discharge for similar heads and spillway widths. Thus, they allow to operate reservoirs with elevated supply levels, thereby providing additional storage volume. A ...

Wave-induced watertable fluctuations, sediment transport and beach profile change: Modeling and comparison with large-scale laboratory experiments

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar

Coastal groundwater systems can have a considerable impact on sediment transport and foreshore evolution in the surf and swash zones. Process-based modeling of wave motion on a permeable beach taking into account wave-aquifer interactions was conducted to ...

Effects of wave characteristics and beach groundwater table on the nearshore morphology and aquifer dynamics

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar

A Navier-Stokes hydrodynamic model with a VOF method and a turbulence closure solver was used to simulate wave motion on permeable beaches. Coastal aquifer dynamics, the interactions between the groundwater and the seawater, and the effects of wave motions ...
