Bedload transport assessment on a physical model of a large river widening using ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy

The 3rd correction of the Rhône River is the largest flood protection project in Switzerland so far. Covering a length of 162 km, it aims to protect some 100,000 people and prevent flood damages, which could raise up to 10 billion Swiss francs for major ev ...

Upstream Erosion and Sediment Passage at Piano Key Weirs

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Ivan Stojnic

Piano key weirs (PKWs) are a weir type characterized by an effective rating curve. Accordingly, this control structure is primarily applied at dams to increase the spillway capacity. In recent years, PKWs also have been implemented in rivers combined with ...

Gravel bar inundation frequency: an important parameter for understanding riparian corridor dynamics

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner

Riparian zones are some of the most valuable and at the same time endangered ecosystems in the world. Their progressive degradation caused by anthropogenic pressure calls for the adoption of effective, resilient restoration strategies. However, a full unde ...

Morpho-dynamics of mountain streams: from laboratory experiments to field observations.

Christophe Ancey, Stuart Nicholas Lane, François Mettra

Due to the complexity of mountain stream evolution and its causes, it is judicious to conduct flume experiments to better understand the morpho-dynamics of steep river channels. A series of long-term experiments under steady conditions revealed the high in ...

Hydromorphodynamic effects of the width ratio and local tributary widening on discordant confluences

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

River training works performed in the last couple of centuries constrained the natural dynamics of channel networks in locations that include the confluences between tributaries and main channels. As a result, the dynamics of these confluences are currentl ...

Mobile Riverbed Scour Downstream of a Piano Key Weir

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stefan Jüstrich

In parallel to their most frequent application as an auxiliary dam spillway, piano key weirs (PKWs) are also installed on low-head barrages in combination with run-off-the-river power plants. Their efficient rating curve, advantageous behavior under driftw ...

Scaling Characteristics of Rill Networks

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi

Sediment transport in overland flow interacts dynamically with the soil surface morphology, which is often assumed to be static. This assumption, although it limits the predictive capacity of models, is reasonable since the morphological evolution is diffi ...

Metapopulation persistence and species spread in river networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

River networks define ecological corridors characterised by unidirectional streamflow, which may impose downstream drift to aquatic organisms or affect their movement. Animals and plants manage to persist in riverine ecosystems, though, which in fact harbo ...

Three dimensional flow field at confluent fixed-bed open channels

Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

River confluences are known for their marked 3D patterns and, due to the complexity of local flow features and bed morphology, they require particular consideration. Although there are studies on the flow structure in junctions of two streams, amore detail ...
