Reservoir sedimentation is worldwide a significant long term problem and requires in view of the current mitigation measures an alternative and more sustainable solution. This challenge motivated the present study with the purpose to develop an alternative ...
Confluences are the nodes of the fluvial network. They are typically characterized by highly heterogeneous conditions that are favorable for a sound fluvial ecosystem, and play a key role in the connectivity of the river system. During the past centuries, ...
The bed of an alluvial river is highly susceptible to changes during the course of its existence. Besides variations of the large scale topography and plan form of the river, smaller scale dune forms can be observed. These recurring dune forms migrate on t ...
The morphodynamic changes in a confluence zone due to local tributary widening were experimentally investigated in a set-up representative of regulated piedmont confluences. A reference configuration with a constant tributary width of 0.15 m is compared to ...
We investigate the entrainment, deposition, and motion of coarse spherical particles within a turbulent shallow water stream down a steep slope. This is an idealization of bed-load transport in mountain streams. Earlier investigations have described this k ...
This paper investigates the morphologic impacts of the widening of tributaries in confluence zones by means of systematic hydraulic tests performed in a confluent laboratory flume. The confluent channels are connected with an angle of 90° and the main chan ...
We investigate the entrainment, deposition and motion of coarse spherical particles within a turbulent shallow water stream down a steep slope. This is an idealization of bed-load transport in mountain streams. Earlier investigations have described this ki ...
We propose a stochastic modelling framework to simulate the spatially lumped sediment and vegetation dynamics in a flood plain of a braided gravel bed river as an alternative to detailed morphodynamic modelling. The idea is that floods intermittently erode ...
The aim of this work is to obtain a better understanding of the morphological development in alpine river confluences, where special attention is given to the widening of the tributary channel and its influence on bed morphology evolution. Hydraulic tests ...
