Simulation of fine sediment deposition on floodplains

Giovanni De Cesare, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Rivers extend beyond the channels that are typically associated with this word. Of particular interest are flood plains, where important hydro- and morphodynamic processes occur as a result of recurrent flooding. Ecologically, they also support the establi ...

Hydrodynamics of mountain-river confluences and its relationship to sediment transport

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

Mountain confluences are characterized by narrow and steep tributaries that provide important sediment load to the confluence, whereas themain channel supplies the dominant flow discharge. This results in a marked bed discordance between the tributary and ...

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 ...

Prediction and forecast of Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) on the Upper Yangtze basin

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

Sediment transport in suspension may represent 90% or more of the global annual flux of sediment. For instance, more than 99% of the sediment supplied to the sea by the Yangtze River is suspended load. Suspended load is an important component for understan ...

Assessing the Hydro-Morphodynamic Response of a Beach Protected by Detached, Impermeable, Submerged Breakwaters: A Numerical Approach

Coastal areas host a large fraction of the world's population and are exposed to natural extreme events, which are a serious threat to human life, as well as to economies. For this reason, sea storms are increasingly the object of studies, and the design o ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part II. Sediment transport

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an e ...

Morphodynamics in river confluences

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

Within the fluvial network, confluences are considered particular areas in what concerns ecological connectivity, flood safety and water quality. These characteristics were degraded in many cases, by previous channelization works, which resulted in rivers ...
