Erosion, transport and deposition of a sediment replenishment under flood conditions
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Christopher Robinson
River reaches downstream of dams with constant residual discharge often lack sediment supply and periodic high flows due to dam sediment retention and flow regulation, respectively. To test a novel multi-deposit methodology for defining environmental flows ...
2020Estuarine tidal response to sea level rise: The significance of entrance restriction
Giovanni De Cesare, Steve Hottinger
Estuarine environments, as dynamic low-lying transition zones between rivers and the open sea, are vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). To evaluate the potential impacts of SLR on estuarine responses, it is necessary to examine the altered tidal dynamics, i ...
2020Effects of entrance conditions on tidal hydrodynamics in idealized prismatic estuaries under sea level rise
Understanding tidal hydrodynamics response to sea level rise (SLR) in estuaries is essential to predict future potential issues such as shoreline erosion, more frequent and intense flooding, coastal wetland threatening, and their economic and ecological as ...
2019Monthly to decadal evolution of sandy beaches in the Pittwater estuary
Even if the total length of shorelines in low-wave environments like bays, sounds, lagoons and estuaries greatly exceed that of open-ocean coasts, the morphodynamics of such systems are poorly understood. Only few studies developed models to predict change ...
2018Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...
Techno-Press2016Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part II. Sediment transport
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an e ...
Techno-Press2016Assessing the Hydro-Morphodynamic Response of a Beach Protected by Detached, Impermeable, Submerged Breakwaters: A Numerical Approach
Coastal areas host a large fraction of the world's population and are exposed to natural extreme events, which are a serious threat to human life, as well as to economies. For this reason, sea storms are increasingly the object of studies, and the design o ...
Coastal Education & Research Foundation2016Statistical characterization of spatiotemporal sediment dynamics in the Venice lagoon
Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter
Characterizing the dynamics of suspended sediment is crucial when investigating the long-term evolution of tidal landscapes. Here we apply a widely tested mathematical model which describes the dynamics of cohesive and noncohesive sediments, driven by the ...
Amer Geophysical Union2016Sediment replenishment: Influence of the geometrical configuration on the morphological evolution of channel-bed
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Elena Battisacco
Dams trap sediment in the upstream reservoir, which may lead to river bed armoring, streambank erosion and failure, channel incision and reduction of the morphological diversity in the downstream river reaches. The replenishment of sediment is a mitigation ...
American Geophysical Union2016Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations
David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson
A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...
