The clogging of riverbeds: A review of the physical processes
Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis
Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the substrate forming the hyporheic zone or cover the substrate by se ...
2023Do Antidune Trains Undergo Morphological Changes When These Bedforms Migrate Upstream?
Upstream migrating antidunes develop in streams under supercritical flow conditions. These bedforms are often organised in trains (i.e. sequences of well-developed antidunes). In shallow flows over coarse sediments, the dynamics of a single antidune can be ...
IAHR International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research2022Modeling turbulent stream flows over rough permeable beds
Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau
In steep streams, turbulent flows run over coarse sediments that are similar in size to flow depth. Under these conditions, a significant part of the flow may seep through the permeable bed. Based on experimental data, this paper presents a model able to r ...
CRC Press2020Composition and superposition of alluvial deposits drive macro-biological soil engineering and organic matter dynamics in floodplains
Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg
Soil structure formation in alluvial soils is a fundamental process in near-natural floodplains. A stable soil structure is essential for many ecosystem services and helps to prevent river bank erosion. Plants and earthworms are successful soil engineering ...
2019Sediment balance of a cascade of alpine reservoirs based on multi-decadal data records
Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña
Reservoir sedimentation is a major concern in the operational management of dams and appurtenant structures. The increasing volume of sediments deposited in reservoirs leads to a loss of water storage, undermining the purpose itself of the dam for human us ...
2018Morphological resilience to flow fluctuations of fine sediment deposits in bank lateral cavities
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Matthias Thalmann
Lateral cavities are built in the banks of rivers for several purposes: to create harbors, to capture sed- iment, to keep a central navigable channel (i.e., Casiers de Girardon in the Rhone river) or to promote the formation of aquatic habitats if a limite ...
2018Integrated modelling approach of urban wet weather discharges into lakes
With an ever growing population the city of Lausanne has a need to monitor and preserve its main water source, the lake. Permanent discharge from combined sewer over ows (CSO) and the waste water treatment plant have an impact on the Vidy Bay, making it th ...
2017Sediment replenishment: Influence of the geometrical configuration on the morphological evolution of channel-bed
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Elena Battisacco
Dams trap sediment in the upstream reservoir, which may lead to river bed armoring, streambank erosion and failure, channel incision and reduction of the morphological diversity in the downstream river reaches. The replenishment of sediment is a mitigation ...
