Environmental heterogeneity promotes spatial resilience of phototrophic biofilms in streambeds

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Enrico Bertuzzo, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

The loss of environmental heterogeneity threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It is therefore important to understand the relationship between environmental heterogeneity and spatial resilience as the capacity of ecological communities embedded ...

Large Eddy Simulations of sediment entrainment induced by a lock-exchange gravity current

Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan, Foteini Kyrousi, Alessandro Leonardi

Large Eddy simulations of lock-exchange gravity currents propagating over a mobile reach are presented. The numerical setting allows to investigate the sediment pick up induced by the currents and to study the underlying mechanisms leading to sediment entr ...

The origin of fine sediment determines the observations of suspended sediment fluxes under unsteady flow conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Field observations in a wide range of environments have shown that sediment availability is a major control on the suspended sediment observations in streams. Here we examine, via laboratory experiments, how the amount of proximal in-channel fine sediment ...

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 ...

INFLUENCE OF LATERAL RECTANGULAR EMBAYMENTS ON THE TRANSPORT OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS IN A FLUME

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

Systematic experimental investigations have been performed under uniform flow conditions in a channel whose banks are equipped with large scale rectangular roughness elements. The practical motivation of this project is to see how restoration of banks, suc ...

LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS OF PULSED SUBAQEOUS SEDIMENT DENSITY FLOWS: INTERNAL STRATIFICATION AND LAYERING

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Mariangela Sfouni-Grigoriadou

This paper reports on an experimental study which focuses on reproducing small scale sediment density flows in a laboratory flume. The observations are aimed at improving the parametrization of the relations that govern the transition between different pha ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SEDIMENT ENTRAINMENT BY LOCK-EXCHANGE GRAVITY CURRENTS

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan, Foteini Kyrousi, Alessandro Leonardi

Gravity currents are flows driven by buoyancy differences between two contacting fluids caused by differences in temperature, salinity, or by the presence of suspended particles. Such flows can reach high velocities near the bed, especially on the area beh ...

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON SEDIMENT ENTRAINMENT BY GRAVITY CURRENTS

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan

Gravity currents are geophysical flows responsible of the distal transport of high volumes of sediments. In particular, turbidity currents, a form of gravity currents where sediments in suspension confer the buoyancy that ignites the flow, are the main mec ...

Modeling sediment pulses on an armored channel

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Elena Battisacco

Dams trap sediments in the upstream reservoir, thus the continuity in sediment transport along the river is interrupted. Several negative aspects related to the lack of sediment supply were observed downstream many dams and the artificial replenishment of ...

Reservoir sedimentation

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Artificial water storage, originated by the construction of dams, is essential for the sustainable health and welfare of civilizations since it supplies water for human consumption, irrigation and energy production. Furthermore, dam reservoirs are used for ...
