Viscoplastic dam breaks and the Bostwick consistometer

We present a theoretical and experimental analysis of the dam break of a viscoplastic fluid in a horizontal channel. A shallow, slow fluid model based on the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive law allows one to characterize the early and late stages of the flow ...

Effects of impoundment on nutrient availability and productivity in lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest

We investigate the hydraulic alteration and the effect on primary productivity of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam built at the outlet of the Arrow Lakes (British Columbia, Canada) in 1967. Three dam-induced hydraulic changes have been identified as relevant: (1) ...

Effects of alpine hydropower operations on primary production in a downstream lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller, Martin Schmid

During the past century, the construction of hydropower dams in the watershed of Lake Brienz has significantly altered the dynamics of turbidity, which has important implications for lake productivity. To assess these effects, we measured in situ carbon as ...

On the wave-front shape and the advancing of the wetting front of a dam-break flood over an inclined plane of arbitrary bottom slope

In this note we consider the analysis of the wave-front shape resulting from the sudden release of a finite volume of water over an inclined plane bed of arbitrary bottom slope. To that end we use the one-dimensional turbulent shallow water equations with ...
