Mechanistic 2D flow-erosion modelling of vegetated river banks

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz

We present a simple, vertically-explicit 2D model of river bank erosion that also takes the effect of sediment stabilization by plant roots into account. The model is solved in quasi-analytical form for an exemplary non-stationary hydrograph temporal signa ...

Birth and ascent of buoyant hydraulic fractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

Hydraulic fracturing treatments are often used in petroleum and other industries to increase the permeability of rock formations and occur naturally as magmatic intrusions. The resulting fractures, propagating perpendicularly to the minimum in-situ stress ...

Three-dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation in homogeneous and heterogeneous media

Carlo Peruzzo

Hydraulic fractures are tensile fractures that occur in solid materials due to the natural intrusion or anthropogenic injection of a viscous fluid into a fracture channel. The deliberate creation of hydraulic fractures is part of an industrial technology h ...

Effect of 30-Degree Sloping Smooth and Stepped Chute Approach Flow on the Performance of a Classical Stilling Basin

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic

Advances in dam construction techniques have significantly increased the number of stepped spillways implemented worldwide. Although stepped chutes provide enhanced energy dissipation along the chute, as compared to smooth chutes, an adequate energy dissip ...

Stilling Basin Performance Downstream of Stepped Spillways

Ivan Stojnic

Advances in dam construction techniques have significantly increased the number of implemented stepped spillways worldwide. A key hydraulic feature of a stepped chute, compared to a smooth chute, is the enhanced energy dissipation resulting in a reduced re ...

A New Framework to Model Hydraulic Bank Erosion Considering the Effects of Roots

Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz

Floods and subsequent bank erosion are recurring hazards that pose threats to people and can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure. While numerous approaches exist on modeling bank erosion, very few consider the stabilizing effects of vegetation (i. ...

Hydraulic Jump Downstream of a Stepped Chute: An Experimental Study

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic

The number of stepped spillways significantly increased in the past decades. Among other reasons, this is due to their energy dissipation potential leading to a reduction of the residual energy at the toe of the spillway. To date, only fragmentary designed ...

A review of modeling the effects of vegetation on large wood recruitment processes in mountain catchments

Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz

Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several advantages, LW can also exacerbate flood damage near infrastructure due to logjams ...

What Waterfalls and Kitchen Sinks have in Common: A Comparison between Vertical and Horizontal Supported Jets

In plunging jets and at hydraulic jumps, large amounts of air bubbles are entrained at the impingement of the liquid jet and receiving body (BIN, 1993; ERVINE, 1998; CHANSON, 2009a). Air is entrapped and advected into a turbulent shear layer with strong in ...

Sediment Pulses in a Gravel-Bed Flume with Alternate Bars

Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

The proper understanding of gravel-bed river dynamics is a crucial issue for the effective protection against related natural hazards, design of hydraulic structures, and preservation of their high ecological value in mountain regions. However, despite mor ...
