Bifurcations in mountain rivers: insights on their hydraulics from field measurements.
Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Bob de Graffenried, Raphaël Miazza
Although the importance of studying channel bifurcations is widely recognised, their hydraulic behaviour in shallow, rough mountain rivers has so far received little attention from researchers. Understanding the specific hydraulics of such units is essenti ...
2023Influence of channel geomorphic units on bedload transport and river morphology during low‐magnitude bed‐forming floods coupled with sediment augmentation
Giovanni De Cesare, Severin Stähly, Christian Mörtl, Robin Schroff
In this study, we map different types of channel geomorphic units in a sediment-starved, residual-flow reach before and after an artificial flood. Bedload particles of a previous sediment augmentation measure are tracked with passive integrated transponder ...
2023Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom
This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...
EPFL2023Missing water from the Qiangtang Basin on the Tibetan Plateau
David Andrew Barry, Tao Wang, Jiaqi Chen
The Qiangtang Basin is a large endorheic basin in the inner part of the Tibetan Plateau and has been thought to be a dry region in contrast with its wet surrounding outer region that feeds all the major Asian rivers. Combining surface hydrological data wit ...
2021Mountain snow: The source of the mother river—Study of multi-scale and multi-physical process of spatio-temporal evolution of snow distribution
Snow is one of the most active elements on the earth, which is an important mass source of polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers, as well as a main supply for the runoff. Its distribution and evolution have a great impact on global hydrological cycle, ecosy ...
2020Erosion, transport and deposition of a sediment replenishment under flood conditions
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Christopher Robinson
River reaches downstream of dams with constant residual discharge often lack sediment supply and periodic high flows due to dam sediment retention and flow regulation, respectively. To test a novel multi-deposit methodology for defining environmental flows ...
2020The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries
Christine Mohr, Amer Chamseddine, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Ramiro Tau, Meng Zhang, Nevena Dimitrova, Niloufar Pouyan
Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019Sediment flushing downstream dams: a study on the clogging by fine sediments
Giovanni De Cesare, Christophe Ancey, Romain Maxime Dubuis
Water reservoirs used to produce electricity have an impact on the environment and durability by : • stopping the natural sediment flux • changing the flow regime downstream of the reservoirs • storing (fine) sediments that reduce the storage volume Those ...
2019Bottom slope influence on flow and bedload transfer through contractions
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt
In-stream open check dams are essential for flood protection at mountain rivers that are characterized by steep slopes (>1%) and sediment-laden flood discharges. These structures comprise an opening acting as a lateral or vertical flow contraction to force ...
