Experimental study at prototype scale of a self-priming free surface siphon

Giovanni De Cesare, Paloma Furlan

This study is within the frame of the construction of the rail link between Geneva Cornavin station, Eaux-Vives station and Annemasse (CEVA). The project area is located at a cut-and-cover tunnel built by slurry walls located in the alluvium of the Foron R ...

Using Heat as a Tracer to Characterize Streambed Water Fluxes of the Brenta River (Italy)

Andrea Rinaldo

This work deals with the characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of water exchange fluxes from/to the Brenta river streambed (Veneto, Italy), critically important to regional water resources management. The aquifer system is structurally q ...

Modeling of Hydrological Processes in Arid Agricultural Regions

David Andrew Barry

Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plan ...

In order to protect conifer logs against attacks from the striped ambrosia beetle (Trypodendron lineatum ) during spring in Swiss forests, logs are treated with the insecticide cypermethrin. Rainfall can cause the insecticide to leach into the ground, pote ...

Prolonged river water pollution due to variable-density flow and solute transport in the riverbed

David Andrew Barry

A laboratory experiment and numerical modeling were used to examine effects of density gradients on hyporheic flow and solute transport under the condition of a solute pulse input to a river with regular bed forms. Relatively low-density gradients due to a ...

Characterisation of the subaquatic groundwater discharge that maintains the permanent stratification within Lake Kivu; East Africa

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Warm and cold subaquatic groundwater discharge into Lake Kivu forms the large-scale density gradients presently observed in the lake. This structure is pertinent to maintaining the stratification that locks the high volume of gases in the deepwater. Our re ...

A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore ...

In this work we explore the extension of the quasi-optimal sparse grids method proposed in our previous work "On the optimal polynomial approximation of stochastic PDEs by Galerkin and Collocation methods" to a Darcy problem where the permeability is model ...
