A case study on spatial and temporal hydraulic variability in an alpine gravel-bed stream based on the hydromorphological index of diversity

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner, Piotr Parasiewicz

Physical heterogeneity is a major topic in river sciences because it is known to be a key factor for ecological integrity. In this paper, we investigated the hydraulic enviroment in an alpine gravel-bed stream with an unaltered hydrological regime. The stu ...

Statistics of bedload transport over steep slopes: Separation of time scales and collective motion

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, François Mettra, Hongbo Ma

Steep slope streams show large fluctuations of sediment discharge across several time scales. These fluctuations may be inherent to the internal dynamics of the sediment transport process. A probabilistic framework thus seems appropriate to analyze such a ...

Assessing the potential of using telecommunication microwave links in urban drainage modelling

Marc Schleiss

The ability to predict the runoff response of an urban catchment to rainfall is crucial for managing drainage systems effectively and controlling discharges from urban areas. In this paper we assess the potential of commercial microwave links (MWL) to capt ...

Similarity Analysis between near surface soil moisture and streamflow during recession events in an alpine catchment

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner

Spatial and temporal variability of near surface soil moisture is important for understanding streamflow generation in high altitude mountain catchments since antecedent soil moisture plays an important role in the timing of runoff. For relatively small to ...

Snow cover runoff and stream discharge modelling during snow melt in Alpine terrain

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Charles Fierz

The understanding of the role of snow cover runoff in complex terrain for the hydrological cycle is still limited. Water flow in snow is a complex process, because the strong layering of the snow cover causes strong vertical variation in hydraulic properti ...

Influencing river morphodynamics by means of a bubble screen - application to open-channel bends

Violaine Dugué

Curved reaches and bends are a characteristic feature of rivers and channels. Their morphology is heterogeneous and typically includes a point bar at the inner side of bends, and bend scour at the outer side. Curvature-induced secondary flow, also called s ...

Sediment Transport and Flow Conditions in Steep Rivers with Large Immobile Boulders

Tamara Ghilardi

Recent flood events in Switzerland and across Europe pointed out several deficiencies in hazard assessment, planning, and prediction methods for flood risk mitigation. A good understanding of the dynamics of mountain rivers, grounded on a sound physical-ba ...

Experimental Evidences of Redistribution Phenomenon in Supercapacitors and Consequent Improvement of their Dynamic Model

Mario Paolone, Dimitri Torregrossa, Maryam Bahramipanah

The paper presents a set of experimental investigations related to the study of the dynamic behavior of supercapacitors. The experimentally-inferred results are then used as inputs for an improved version of one of the most common supercapacitor RC-circuit ...

Temporal evolution of bedload in a steep channel over a long duration experiment

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Tamara Ghilardi

Bedload fluctuations over time in steep rivers with wide grain size distributions have been observed, even under constant sediment feeding and water discharge. Observed bedload pulses are periodical and a consequence of grain sorting. Along with bedload, f ...

Resonant RF network antennas for large-area and large-volume inductively coupled plasma sources

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

Large-area and large-volume radio frequency (RF) plasmas are produced by different arrangements of an elementary electrical mesh consisting of two conductors interconnected by a capacitor at each end. The obtained cylindrical and planar RF networks are res ...
