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 ...

Design optimization of permeable sediment traps for fluvial bed load transport

Anton Schleiss, Sebastian Schwindt, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Anita Hélène Roth

Sediment traps are crucial elements for flood protection in mountain rivers with high sediment transport capacity. Existing structures often interrupt the channel connectivity. Ideally, a sediment trap should be permeable for bed load during non-hazardous ...

Stochastic bedload transport in mountain streams

Christophe Ancey

Describing bedload transport as a stochastic process is an idea that emerged in the 1930s with the pioneering work of Einstein. For a long time, the stochastic approach attracted marginal attention, but the situation has radically changed over the last dec ...

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 ...

Sediment traps with guiding channel and hybrid check dams improve controlled sediment retention

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt, Stefano Tugulu, Alessandro Reffo

Sediment traps with partially open check dams are crucial elements for flood protection in alpine regions. The trapping of sediment is necessary when intense sediment transport occurs during floods that may endanger urban areas at downstream river reaches. ...

Analysis of mechanical-hydraulic bedload deposition control measures

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

During floods, the bedload transport of steep headwaters can exceed the hydraulic transport capacity of milder downstream reaches where settlements are often situated. Therefore, sediment retention barriers are typically installed upstream of such sensible ...

Hydro-morphological processes through permeable sediment traps at mountain rivers

Sebastian Schwindt

Sediment traps are used for the protection of urban settlements at rivers in mountainous regions. These structures aim at the retention of sediment in the case of hazardous floods, but existing sediment traps tend to retain sediment also when the discharge ...

Measuring Bedload Sediment Transport with an Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler

Koen Blanckaert, Joris Heyman

Acoustic Doppler velocity profilers (ADVP) measure the velocity simultaneously in a linear array of bins. They have been successfully used in the past to measure three-dimensional turbulent flow and the dynamics of suspended sediment. The capability of ADV ...

Effects of Lateral and Vertical Constrictions on Flow in Rough Steep Channels with Bedload

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

Two-phase flows occurring at flow constrictions such as bridges or open sediment check dams are complex, especially for steep rivers with bedload transport. Dangerous bedload deposition and backwater effects may occur in steep mountain rivers at bridges. I ...

Sediment Pulses in a Gravel-Bed Flume with Alternate Bars

Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

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 ...
