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 ...
2023Floodplain 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 ...
2019The 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 ...
WILEY2019Large Eddy Simulations of sediment entrainment induced by a lock-exchange gravity current
Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan, Foteini Kyrousi, Alessandro Leonardi
Large Eddy simulations of lock-exchange gravity currents propagating over a mobile reach are presented. The numerical setting allows to investigate the sediment pick up induced by the currents and to study the underlying mechanisms leading to sediment entr ...
2018Transport 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 ...
2018Influence 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 ...
2018The origin of fine sediment determines the observations of suspended sediment fluxes under unsteady flow conditions
Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez
Field observations in a wide range of environments have shown that sediment availability is a major control on the suspended sediment observations in streams. Here we examine, via laboratory experiments, how the amount of proximal in-channel fine sediment ...
