A Depth-Averaged Material Point Method for Shallow Landslides: Applications to Snow Slab Avalanche Release

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny, Bertil Trottet, Denis Aloyse Joseph Steffen, Louis Marie Cédric Guillet

Shallow landslides pose a significant threat to people and infrastructure. Despite significant progress in the understanding of such phenomena, the evaluation of the size of the landslide release zone, a crucial input for risk assessment, still remains a c ...

Channelization cascade in landscape evolution

Sara Bonetti

The hierarchy of channel networks in landscapes displays features that are characteristic of nonequilibrium complex systems. Here we show that a sequence of increasingly complex ridge and valley networks is produced by a system of partial differential equa ...

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 ...

Carbon fate in a large temperate human-impacted river system: Focus on benthic dynamics

Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier

Fluvial networks play an important role in regional and global carbon (C) budgets. The Seine River, from the Paris urban area to the entrance of its estuary (220km), is studied here as an example of a large human-impacted river system subject to temperate ...

A hydromechanical approach to assess CO2 injection-induced surface uplift and caprock deflection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on the derivation of a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of surface uplift and caprock deflection induced by underground injection of CO2. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporat ...

Tracking bed load particles in a steep flume: Methods and results.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman

In this paper, we present an experimental study about the motion of bed load particles in water. Recent developments in the stochastic theory of bed load transport call for precise experimental data to validate the models. We set up the experiment in a til ...

Coupled semi-analytical solution for CO2 injection-induced surface uplift and caprock deflection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on a specific problem related to the surface uplift induced by the injection of CO2 at depth. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of storage media and the fl ...

Response of an Embedded Block Impacted by High-Velocity Jets

Matteo Paolo Elia Antonio Federspiel

High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...

A study of the dynamics of saturated granular assemblages and its implications for transport, stress propagation and failure in marine sediments

Nicolas Le Dantec

The subject of small-scale marine sediment mechanics is an area of active research, motivated by its key role in beach and shelf processes. Much of the existing small-scale work has focused on two-phase flows and particle behavior at the sediment interface ...

Numerical modeling of cohesive sediment transport and bed morphology in estuaries

Célestin Leupi

Two major lines of investigation have been pursued in this thesis: (1) More efficient, robust and realistic numerical techniques are designed for the simulation of complex turbulent fluid flows; (2) A new algorithm and its analysis is performed in the cont ...
