Gravity-driven, dead-end ultrafiltration of surface water, performed at ultra-low pressures without backflushing, cross-flow or chemical cleaning, results in flux stabilization during extended periods of time. This principle can be used for direct ultrafil ...
In alpine regions of Europe, river training works were typically the reason for the transformation of wide and braided rivers into linear river systems with a lack of structural diversity, i.e. gravel banks, islands, woody debris, riffles or pools. These i ...
Flow field in shallow waters, which is characterized by its complex mixing process and inherent dynamic nature, is interesting mainly due to its practical importance (e. g. in free flushing operation and sedimentation in large reservoirs). 3D numerical mod ...
Even though flow in natural rivers and channels is generally unsteady, only a few studies on turbulent structures in unsteady open-channel flows have been carried out. In hydraulic engineering problems, unsteady flow is often approximated with concepts of ...
In the framework of an experimental study on the influence of in- and outflow sequences on flow patterns and suspended sediment behavior in reservoirs, flow fields and inflowing jet were sampled by Ultrasonic Velocity Profilers (UVP). The laboratory set-up ...
An Eulerian two-phase flow model (air-water) was used to simulate nearshore hydrodynamic processes driven by wave motion. The flow field was computed with the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the Volume-Of-Fluid method and the ...
Interactions between curvature-induced secondary flow, streamwise flow and bed morphology in open-channel bends lead to the development of a typical bar-pool bed morphology, shaped by scour at the outer bank and deposition at the inner bank. This typical b ...
In the framework of a research project studying the influences of pumping/turbine modes on turbulence, flow fields and suspended sediments in reservoirs, prototype measurements are carried out at the Grimsel II pumped storage plant (Switzerland). In situ r ...
In order to unravel the main flow and secondary flow characteristics and the role of turbulence in a curved single-bend open-channel flow, large-eddy simulations (LES) and Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations (RANS) were carried out and compared with ex ...
The bed topography and associated flow field are investigated in a laboratory configuration with parameters that are representative for sharp natural meander bends. Zones of inward mass transport are characterized by a quasi-linear transverse bed profile, ...
