Hydrodynamic processes in sharp meander bends and their morphological implications

The migration rate of sharp meander bends exhibits large variance and indicates that some sharply curved bends tend to stabilize. These observations remain unexplained. This paper examines three hydrodynamic processes in sharp bends with fixed banks and di ...

A parameter study on bank shear stresses in curved open channel flow by means of large-eddy simulation

Koen Blanckaert

Meandering rivers and streams are a common planform in the world’s populated areas. Furthermore the recent increased focus on renaturalization projects has lead policy makers to also consider the partial remeandering of previously trained rivers. Economic ...

Inorganic Geochemistry and Redox Dynamics in Bank Filtration Settings

Janet Gordon Hering

Bank filtration induces flow of surface water through a hydraulically connected aquifer by excess pumping from a production well in the aquifer. This review presents the four main geochemical processes relevant for inorganic geochemistry, with a focus on i ...

Fish behavior during hydropeaking in a channel equipped with a lateral shelter

Anton Schleiss, Jean-Marc Ribi

In the framework of a research project focusing on mitigation measures for hydropeaking, a lateral embayment at the channel bank is studied as a fish refuge. Systematic experiments with different refuge configurations were carried out. The basic configurat ...

Reduction of bend scour by an outer bank footing: Flow field and turbulence

Koen Blanckaert

River bank protection is a costly but essential component in river management. Outer banks in river bends are most vulnerable to scour and erosion. Previous laboratory experiments illustrated that a well-designed horizontal foundation of a vertical outer b ...

Streambank erosion hazard mapping

John Beck

Streambank erosion hazard mapping has received much less attention than flood inundation mapping in the past due to the complexity of the task as well as bank protection works that have reduced bank erosion and unfortunately, the ecological functions of ou ...
