Local tributary widening for river rehabilitation

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

The hydro-morpho-sedimentary processes in confluence hydrodynamic zones (CHZ) subject to a local widening of the tributary were investigated in a series of laboratory experiments that were representative of the 20 major confluences of the Upper Rhone River ...

Prediction of river water temperature: a comparison between a new family of hybrid models and statistical approaches

Aurélien Gallice, Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Marco Toffolon, Elisa Calamita

River water temperature is a key physical variable controlling several chemical, biological and ecological processes. Its reliable prediction is a main issue in many environmental applications, which however is hampered by data scarcity, when using data-de ...

Influence of Tributary Widening on Confluence Morphodynamics

Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

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 and bathymetry in sharp open-channel bends: Experiments and predictions

Koen Blanckaert, Serban George Constantinescu

This paper focuses on experiments and simulations conducted in very sharp open-channel bends with flat and equilibrium bathymetry, corresponding to the initial and final phases of the erosion and deposition processes, respectively. The study of flow in cur ...

Influence of the widening of a tributary on confluence morphology: preliminary results

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro, Simon Wampfler

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 ...
