Spatiotemporal dynamics of snow erosion, deposition and horizontal mass flux

Michael Lehning, Enrico Paterna, Philip Crivelli

The quantification of snow transport, both in wind tunnels and the field, apply particle counting methods limited to punctual sampling of relatively small volumes. Particle counting can only capture horizontal mass fluxes, failing to measure snow erosion o ...

Swiss Rainfall Mass Curves and their Influence on Extreme Flood Simulation

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood estimates for dam safety are routinely obtained from hydrologic simulations driven by selected design storms. The temporal structure of such design storms can be obtained from Rainfall Mass Curves (RMCs), which are adimensionalized curves of ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

Design optimization of permeable sediment traps for fluvial bed load transport

Anton Schleiss, Sebastian Schwindt, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Anita Hélène Roth

Sediment traps are crucial elements for flood protection in mountain rivers with high sediment transport capacity. Existing structures often interrupt the channel connectivity. Ideally, a sediment trap should be permeable for bed load during non-hazardous ...

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 ...

Identifying contaminated sediment problems associated with urban stormwater discharges in lakes

Tom Hugo Antoine Benejam

Urban stormwater discharges during wet weather has always been a sensitive issue to deal with. By inducing combined sewer overflows, substantial impacts on receiving water are commonly feared. Aware of this problematic situation, the VSA already created th ...

Fine sediment routing in a cascade of alpine reservoirs: Influence of the inlet angle on settling of fine sediments

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

Reservoir sedimentation is, at present, one of the main concerns in the operational management of dams. The resulting reduction of storage capacity has negative impacts on the hydropower production, flood protection, and availability of water for irrigatio ...

On current transients in MoS2 Field Effect Transistors

Andras Kis, Dmitry Ovchinnikov

We present an experimental investigation of slow transients in the gate and drain currents of MoS2-based transistors. We focus on the measurement of both the gate and drain currents and, from the comparative analysis of the current transients, we conclude ...

Junction chamber at vortex drop shaft: case study of Cossonay

Michael Pfister, Corrado Gisonni, David Dorthe, Gaetano Crispino, Thierry Fuchsmann

The drainage network of the city of Cossonay (Switzerland) is currently being adapted for future needs. In particular, it is required to drain increased storm discharges due to a population augmentation and to provide an adequate concept to overcome unfavo ...

Application of delta O-18, delta C-13(DIC), and major ions to evaluate micropollutant sources in the Bay of Vidy, Lake Geneva

Florence Bonvin

Waters were sampled monthly from a profile at the wastewater outlet and a reference point in the Bay of Vidy (Lake Geneva) for a year. The samples were analyzed for O-18/O-16 of water, C-13/C-12 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), major ions, and selected ...
