Practical issues with modeling extreme Brazilian rainfall

Anthony Christopher Davison, Isolde Santos Previdelli, Paulo Vitor Da Costa Pereira

Accurately quantifying extreme rainfall is important for the design of hydraulic structures, for flood mapping and zoning and for disaster management. In order to produce maps of estimates of 25-year rainfall return levels in Brazil, we selected 893 shorte ...

Bottom pressure characteristics in a stilling basin downstream of a stepped spillway for two different chute slopes

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

In the last decades numerous stepped spillways were built, mostly on the downstream face of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams. Stilling basins are often used as an energy dissipater. Although the hydraulics of stepped chutes was extensively investigated ...

Evaluation of a Dynamic Transfer Matrix for a Hydraulic Turbine

François Avellan, Andres Müller, Keita Yamamoto

It is well known that hydraulic machines experience various types of flow instabilities causing a negative influence on the system under off-design operations. The transfer matrix method correlating the flow properties in upstream and downstream of hydraul ...

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 ...

Effects of Anthropogenic Discharge and Hydraulic Deposition on the Distribution and Accumulation of Microplastics in Surface Sediments of a Typical Seagoing River: The Haihe River

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yang Liu, Wenxin Liu

Microplastics pollution in river systems has generated great concern; however, few studies have focused on the contributions of multiple influencing factors to microplastics in river systems. In the current study, we utilized data on microplastics in surfa ...

Effect of a second layer on the time to failure of compressed riprap as mountain riverbank protection

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Recently, Jafarnejad, Franca, Pfister, and Schleiss [2017. Time-based failure analysis of compressed riverbank riprap. Journal of Hydraulic Research, 55(2), 224–235. doi: 10.1080/00221686.2016.1212940] presented an experimental study on the stability of co ...

FVPM numerical simulation of the effect of particle shape and elasticity on impact erosion

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

The erosion of hydraulic machines by solid particle impacts is a widespread problem that leads to outage for expensive repairs, efficiency reduction, and cavitation enhancement. Numerical simulations can be used to study the phenomenon, provided they featu ...

Multiscale Simulation of the Hydroabrasive Erosion of a Pelton Bucket: Bridging Scales to Improve the Accuracy

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

Erosive wear of hydraulic machines is a common issue, which results in efficiency degradation, the enhancement of cavitation, and the need for expensive maintenance. Although numerical simulations of the erosion process could be very useful, both for under ...

Hybrid Modelling Approach to Study Scour Potential at Chancy-Pougny Dam Stilling Basin

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Erik Bollaert, Sabine Chamoun, Davide Wüthrich

Chancy-Pougny is a run-of-river dam on the Swiss-French border constructed in the early 1920s. Since its inauguration, the operation of the four spillway gates was responsible for a progressive erosion of the stilling basin. Thus, a hybrid modelling was pe ...

Morphological resilience to flow fluctuations of fine sediment deposits in bank lateral cavities

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Matthias Thalmann

Lateral cavities are built in the banks of rivers for several purposes: to create harbors, to capture sed- iment, to keep a central navigable channel (i.e., Casiers de Girardon in the Rhone river) or to promote the formation of aquatic habitats if a limite ...
