Bar dynamics and sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels.
Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
Mountain rivers exhibit sediment transport rate fluctuations that often cover more than two orders of magnitude. Bedform migration is often cited as the key process that causes giant fluctuations in the sediment transport rate. To quantify the effect of be ...
EDP Sciences2018Are Bedload Transport Pulses in Gravel Bed Rivers Created by Bar Migration or SedimentWaves?
Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
Bedload transport exhibits considerable spatial and temporal variability, as reflected by large fluctuations of transport rates. Among the various mechanisms proposed for explaining this variability, bedform migration is often cited as the main cause. We t ...
2018How bar generate sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels
Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
We ran flume experiments with constant water dis- charge and sediment feed rate at the inlet. Experi- ments were conducted over long times (typically 600 h). The bars migrated downstream intermittently, producing the most important pulses. When the bar pos ...
IAHR2018Sediment Pulses in a Gravel-Bed Flume with Alternate Bars
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 ...
EPFL2017169 Bedload tranport rate fluctuations in a flume with a lternate bars under steady state conditions.
Bedload transport rate in gravel-bed rivers under steady flow conditions shows large fluctuations (Singh et al., 2009). The development, destruction and migration of bedforms (Gomez et al., 1989; Recking et al., 2009), in combination with grain sorting (Is ...
2017Continuous Monitoring of Bed-Load Transport in a Laboratory Flume Using an Impact Sensor.
Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau
Bed-load transport rate in gravel-bed rivers shows large non-Gaussian fluctuations, even under steady flow conditions. The development of high-resolution measurement techniques during the last two decades creates research opportunities to study the intermi ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2017Bedload tranport rate fluctuations in a flume with alternate bars under steady state conditions.
Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
Bedload transport rate in gravel-bed rivers under steady flow conditions shows large fluctuations (Singh et al., 2009). The development, destruction and migration of bedforms (Gomez et al., 1989; Recking et al., 2009), in combination with grain sorting (Is ...
2017Insight gained from Principal Component Analysis in the analysis of river morphodynamics and associated sediment fluxes.
Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
Bedload transport fluxes are known to widely fluctuate in both time and space (Ma et al., 2014). The typical scales of fluctuations are broad and often overlap: from random particle motions at the grain scale to large bed morphologies evolving at the river ...
2017Wave atlas for Swiss lakes: modeling design waves in mountainous lakes.
Azin Amini, Philippe Heller, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
The present study aims to provide a comprehensive wave atlas for Swiss lakes. The atlas is an adequate tool that contains wave characteristics of extreme events derived from numerical calculations. Swiss lakes are surrounded by mountains, and the wind fiel ...
Taylor & Francis Ltd2017Rôle des bancs alternés dans le transfert de sédiment par charriage.
La dynamique des structures morphologiques dans les rivières de montagne est une des causes souvent évoquées pour expliquer les fluctuations du débit solide couramment observées. La bonne compréhension de la relation qui lie ces deux phénomènes passe par l ...
