Stochastic Simulations and Machine Learning Modeling to Predict Bedload Transport and Bed Topography

In computational hydraulics models, predicting bed topography and bedload transport with sufficient accuracy remains a significant challenge. An accurate assessment of a river's sediment transport rate necessitates a prior understanding of its bed topograp ...

A Fast Hybrid Pressure-Correction Algorithm for Simulating Incompressible Flows by Projection Methods

Jiannong Fang

To enforce the conservation of mass principle, a pressure Poisson equation arises in the numerical solution of incompressible fluid flow using the pressure-based segregated algorithms such as projection methods. For unsteady flows, the pressure Poisson equ ...

Scaling behavior of bedload transport: what if Bagnold was right?

Christophe Ancey

There is a paradox in the relationship between bedload transport rates and flow variables: laboratory and field studies have reported on how bedload transport rates depend on flow variables through a power law, but none of the empirical laws fitted to the ...

Novel corrector problems with exponential decay of the resonance error for numerical homogenization

Edoardo Paganoni

Multiscale problems, such as modelling flows through porous media or predicting the mechanical properties of composite materials, are of great interest in many scientific areas. Analytical models describing these phenomena are rarely available, and one mus ...

Estimating Mean Bedload Transport Rates and Their Uncertainty

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Measuring bedload transport rates usually involves measuring the flux of sediment or collecting sediment during a certain interval of time Δt. Because bedload transport rates exhibit significant non‐Gaussian fluctuations, their time‐averaged rates depend a ...

Bedload transport: a walk between randomness and determinism. Part 1. The state of the art

Christophe Ancey

This paper outlines the various approaches used to calculate bedload transport. As bedload transport exhibits considerable spatial and temporalvariations, computing the bedload transport rates and morphological changes experienced by streambeds is difficul ...

Stochastic bedload transport in mountain streams

Christophe Ancey

Describing bedload transport as a stochastic process is an idea that emerged in the 1930s with the pioneering work of Einstein. For a long time, the stochastic approach attracted marginal attention, but the situation has radically changed over the last dec ...

Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Bed-Load Transport of a Finite-Depth Sediment Layer: Applications to Channel Flushing

Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Numerical modeling of bed-load transport in shallow flows, particularly oriented toward environmental flows, is an active field of research. Nevertheless, other possible applications exist. In particular, bed-load transport phenomena are relevant in urban ...

Hydrodynamics of mountain-river confluences and its relationship to sediment transport

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

Mountain confluences are characterized by narrow and steep tributaries that provide important sediment load to the confluence, whereas themain channel supplies the dominant flow discharge. This results in a marked bed discordance between the tributary and ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SEDIMENT ENTRAINMENT BY LOCK-EXCHANGE GRAVITY CURRENTS

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan, Foteini Kyrousi, Alessandro Leonardi

Gravity currents are flows driven by buoyancy differences between two contacting fluids caused by differences in temperature, salinity, or by the presence of suspended particles. Such flows can reach high velocities near the bed, especially on the area beh ...
