Multi-scale ﬂuctuations of bed load transport rate over steep slope.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Hongbo Ma

The bedload transport rate is of large fluctuation across several time scales. Understanding bedload transport fluctuation would be helpful for modeling the transport process. In this talk, we first report a multi-scale phenomenon of fluctuation of bedload ...

A Location-Inventory Model for Large Three-Level Supply Chains

Jean-Sébastien Tancrez

We study the location-inventory problem in three-level supply networks. Our model integrates three decisions: the distribution centers location, flows allocation, and shipment sizes. We propose a nonlinear continuous formulation, including transportation, ...
