The use of geo-sensors in mountain rivers becomes more and more frequent. It provides valuable continuous time series of bedload transport discharge at high temporal resolution that are essential to evaluate, compare and fit theoretical model.This increasi ...
Le torrent du Milibach présente une capacité hydraulique insuffisante conduisant à des débordements fréquents dans le village de Meiringen notamment. Ce manque de capacité est dû essentiellement à l’accumulation de sédiments dans le lit du cours d’eau pend ...
Single thread meandering rivers exhibit complex planformpatterns in their floodplains, resulting from a complex interaction between flow, bed and bank morphology. The flow through meander bends may be characterized by primary flow in streamwise direction a ...
The Milibach River between Hasliberg-Reuti and Meiringen agglomerations in Switzerland has a limited hydraulic capacity leading to frequent flooding. During the 2005 flood event, large populated areas were inundated and damages exceeding many millions of S ...
Owens second hypothesis [1] states that the surface shear stress induced by the fluid on the stationary sediment on the ground in a particle saltation layer equals the threshold for particle entrainment. Despite the fact that most numerical models describi ...
When applied to mountain torrents, sediment transport formulae habitually overestimate the bedload by several orders of magnitude, even if they have been developed for steep slopes. The reason is that the influence of macro-roughness elements, such as larg ...
The bedload transport rate is of large fluctuation across several time scales. Understanding bedload transport fluctuation would be helpful for modeling the transport process. In this talk, we first report a multi-scale phenomenon of fluctuation of bedload ...
Systematic hydraulic model tests were performed in a 90° curved channel with an undulated wall at the outer bank. The outer wall consisted of trapezoidal elements of 0.1 m depth and 0.33 m length. Three discharges (150, 180 and 210 l/s) and three bed slope ...
Reservoir sedimentation hinders the operation of the Lavey run-of-river hydropower plant (HPP) on the Rhone River in Switzerland. Deposits upstream of the gated weir and the lateral water intake reduce the flood release capacity and entrain sediments into ...
Two major parameters that determine the beach type are sediment grain size and beach slope. Intermediate beaches normally have steep slopes and are associated with coarse-grained sands and narrow surf zones, while dissipative beaches generally have mild sl ...
