Release of suspension particles from a prismatic tank by multiple jet arrangements

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Jolanda Maria Isabella Jenzer Althaus

The performance of circular and linear jet arrangements on the release of suspended sediment out of a prismatic tank has been investigated. Experiments conducted are (1) without any forced jet stirring (reference case), (2) four jets arranged in a horizont ...

Replenishment of sediment downstream of dams

Elena Battisacco

Dams on rivers alter the sediment continuum, trapping water and sediment in the upstream reservoirs. River reaches downstream are affected by several negative effects, such as bed incision, reduction of the river morphological variability, development of a ...

Hydro‐morphodynamic evolution in a 90° movable bed discordant confluence with low discharge ratio

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

Confluences with low discharge and momentum ratios, where narrow steep tributaries with high sediment load join a wide low-gradient main channel that provides the main discharge, are often observed in high mountain regions such as in the upper- Rhone river ...

Wiley-Blackwell2015

River confluences in which the tributary supplies the dominant sediment load, and the flow discharge is abundantly provided by the main river, are typically observed in mountain-river basins. The existent knowledge on the hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and se ...

Hydro-morphodynamic differences induced by different angles in an experimental discordant confluence

Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

Confluences, within the fluvial network, are considered particular areas with great ecological value, where flow dynamics and bed morphology are complex and highly three-dimensional. Several parameters influence the morphodynamics and hydrodynamics of rive ...

Hydro-morphodynamics of open-channel confluences with low discharge ratio and dominant tributary sediment supply

Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

River confluences are not only hot spots of diversity but also main elements for the connectivity in water catchments. In the past century many of the Alpine rivers in Europe as well as their tributaries have been channelized. Especially the confluences ha ...

Within the fluvial network, confluences are considered particular areas in what concerns ecological connectivity, flood safety and water quality. These characteristics were degraded in many cases, by previous channelization works, which resulted in rivers ...

Coherent structures in open channel flows with bed load transport over an hydraulically rough bed

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

Excess sediment production in the upper parts of catchments may result in important impacts over morphodynamics of gravel bed-rivers. By changing morphodynamics, sediment overfeeding may induce important changes in the structure of near-bed flow, mainly in ...

CRC Press/Balkema2014

Curved reaches and bends are a characteristic feature of rivers and channels. Their morphology is heterogeneous and typically includes a point bar at the inner side of bends, and bend scour at the outer side. Curvature-induced secondary flow, also called s ...

EPFL - LCH2013

, ,

Within the fluvial network, confluences are particular areas characterized by great ecological value where flow dynamics and bed morphology are much influenced by local patterns. The aim of this article is to describe the influence of the convergence angle ...
