Simulation of fine sediment deposition on floodplains

Giovanni De Cesare, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Rivers extend beyond the channels that are typically associated with this word. Of particular interest are flood plains, where important hydro- and morphodynamic processes occur as a result of recurrent flooding. Ecologically, they also support the establi ...

How Large Immobile Sediments in Gravel Bed Rivers Impact Sediment Transport and Bed Morphology

Carmelo Juez Jiménez

A common approach used to mitigate riverbank erosion and maintain watercourse alignments has been through the application of riprap or larger, more stable particles to channel boundaries along reaches of interest. However, very often, these large particles ...

The impact of hydrograph variability and frequency on sediment transport dynamics in a gravel-bed flume

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

A laboratory study was undertaken to investigate how changes in flow regime and hydrograph shape (number of cycled hydrographs and duration of each hydrograph) together impact bedload transport and resulting bed morphology. Three hydrologic conditions (exp ...

Floodplain Land Cover and Flow Hydrodynamic Control of Overbank Sedimentation in Compound Channel Flows

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Hannes Jenny

Overbank sedimentation is predominantly due to fine sediments transported under suspension that become trapped and settle in floodplains when high-flow conditions occur in rivers. In a compound channel, the processes of exchanging water and fine sediments ...

Image processing and laser measurements for determination of the erosion and deposition of fine sediments by a gravity current

Anton Schleiss, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

This paper reports a high-resolution, non-intrusive, low-cost technique to measure volumes of erosion and deposition of fine sediments. The combination of two techniques, photography and laser scanning, gives the advantage of simultaneous quantitative esti ...

Feinsedimentdynamik in revitalisierten Flüssen

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Matthias Thalmann

Im Rahmen von Flussrevitalisierungen werden oftmals seitliche Aufweitungen geschaffen, in denen sich Feinsedimente ablagern können. Insbesondere in Flüssen, die von Schwall und Sunk betroffen sind, stellt sich die Frage, wie der Ablagerungsprozess von Fein ...

Influence of lateral embayments on suspended sediment transport under unsteady flow conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Matthias Thalmann

Local widening in a channelized river is a common practice in restoration projects. The lateral embayments built for this purpose in the river banks are partially filled up by fine sediments. This allows the formation of aquatic habitats with hydraulic and ...

Morphological 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 ...

Entrainment, transport and deposition of sediment by saline gravity currents

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan

Few studies have addressed simultaneously the feedback between the hydrodynamics of a gravity cur- rent and the geomorphological changes of a mobile bed. Hydrodynamic quantities such as turbulent and mean velocities, bed shear stress and turbulent stresses ...

Transport of suspended sediments under the influence of bank macro-roughness

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

River restoration works often include measures to promote morphological diversity and enhance habitat suitability. One of these measures is the creation of macro-roughness elements, such as lateral cavities and embayments, in the banks of channelized river ...
