Flow-induced uprooting of young vegetation on river bedforms

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Riparian vegetation stabilizes sediment by its roots and henceforth impacts riparian morphodynamics. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars or islands, juvenile plants are exposed to a high risk of mortality due to uprooting by floods. ...

From bedform evolution to channel slope fluctuations in steep-slope streams.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, François Mettra, Hongbo Ma

In mountain streams, bedload transport rates are prone to strong variability. Indeed an increasing number of laboratory and field studies in steep-slope conditions show fluctuations of bedload transport rate over several temporal and spatial scales. This b ...

The Hairsine-Rose Soil Erosion Model: Analysis for Total Sediment Concentration

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

The Hairsine-Rose (HR) model considers rainfall- and shear-driven erosion of the soil bed, overland transport and sediment deposition. Here, we consider the model for rainfall-driven erosion. The model takes account of the different erodabilities of the or ...

An air-bubble screen used as a countermeasure to reduce erosion in open-channel bends

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué

In open-channel bends, interactions between streamwise flow, curvature-induced secondary flow and sediment transport lead to a typical bar-pool bed topography. Erosion occurs near the outer bank that can endanger structures, whereas deposition occurs near ...

Riprap Protection of Vertical-Wall and Spill-Through Bridge Abutments

Anton Schleiss, António Heleno Cardoso

Scour around bridge abutments frequently leads to the collapse of bridge superstructures. Consequently, scour countermeasures are usually designed and installed by river engineers, riprap matting being the most widespread solution. The associated design cr ...

Bend scour reduction induced by an air-bubble screen under live-bed conditions

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué

Open-channel bends are characterized by complex interactions between streamwise flow, curvature-induced secondary flow and bed morphology. These bend effects cause erosion near the outer bank, and deposition near the inner bank. Previous laboratory experim ...

Flow patterns induced by a bubble screen in a sharply curved flume based on Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler measurements

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué

Open-channel bends are characterized by a bed morphology where erosion occurs near the outer bank and a point bar develops at the inner bend. This morphology is induced by complex interactions between the streamwise flow, the curvature-induced secondary fl ...

Flow processes near smooth and rough (concave) outer banks in curved open channels

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

Flow processes near the (concave) outer bank in curved river reaches are investigated in a laboratory flume, with focus on the influence of the bank roughness. An outer-bank cell of reversed secondary flow occurs for all the investigated roughness configur ...

Soil erosion transport through multiple rainfall events in the presence of stone cover: Laboratory flume experiments and analysis with the Hairsine-Rose model

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

Soil erosion is a major environmental problem that can lead to loss of fertility and degradation of agricultural fields. In order to develop efficient strategies to mitigate the impact of precipitation and reduce the erosion rate, a process-based understan ...
