Return period of vegetation uprooting by flow
Fluvial environments are dynamic systems whose evolution and management are strongly affected by the resilience of riparian vegetation to uprooting by flow. Similarly to other natural phenomena, the interactions between flow, sediment and vegetation uproot ...
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 ...
2019A Physical Model for the Uprooting of Flexible Vegetation on River Bars
Sediment deposition and bank accretion are promoted by the establishment and growth of pioneer plant species, a direct consequence of plant survival during flood events. Similarly, the uprooting of riparian vegetation on river bars during floods can subseq ...
