To address the global loss of biodiversity in freshwater environments, understanding river habitat requirements for key species, such as brown trout (Salmo trutta L.), is crucial. The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) aids ecologists in identifying preferred ...
River engineering projects are usually designed based on the peak discharge concept. However, some river processes depend on the shape and duration of the flow hydrograph, and their modelling is particularly relevant for designing protection and retention ...
Solar photocatalysis has the potential to reduce chemical and microbial contaminants in water and make it safer for consumption in an effective and sustainable manner. This has been studied and proven well under laboratoryscale conditions. In our previous ...
The loss of biodiversity in freshwater environments is becoming an increasing problem globally. As a result, many tools have been developed and improved to reduce this decline. However, there is still a need for the identification and evaluation of precise ...
Alternate bars are bedforms recognizable in straight or weakly curved channels as a result of riverbed instability. The length and height of alternate bars scale with the river width and the water depth, respectively. During low water stages, alternate bar ...
The design of hydraulic structures, flood protection systems, and river management strategies often relies on the peak-flow discharge associated with a specific return period. However, many river processes are related to the shape and duration of the entir ...
Freshwater ecosystems face increasing threats from human activities and climate change, thus requiring efforts to reduce impacts and prevent further deterioration. Restoration projects for riverine environments often rely on hydraulic, habitat, and metapop ...
Laboratory flume experiments and field investigations demonstrated the existence of dynamic equilibrium conditions for river channels, according to the hydraulic (flow discharge, water depth) and morphological (bed slope, grain size distribution, cross-sec ...
Mathematical and physical modeling of flows in collapsible pipes often relates the flow area to the difference between the internal and the external pressures (i.e. the transmural pressure). The relation is used to model the conduits of the human body tran ...
We apply the stochastic-trajectory analysis to derive exact expressions for the mean first passage times of jump-and-drift transition paths across two or more consecutive thresholds. We perform the analysis of the crossing statistics in terms of dimensionl ...
