Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...

Dataset for a flume experiment on sediment augmentation

Christian Mörtl

Dataset for the paper "Influence of hydrograph shape and sediment augmentation repetition frequency on sediment transport dynamics and bed morphology evolution". It includes coordinates of the defined areas of interest and digital elevation models from the ...

Multiscale simulation of erosive wear in a prototype-scale Pelton runner

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

The technical capacity to predict the erosion process is instrumental for the optimization of the runner designs and operation strategies of hydroelectric plants. A multiscale model of erosion recently formulated by the authors and validated on a laborator ...

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 ...

2020

Environmental transport processes are highly coupled with the shape of landscapes. Modern catchment analysis with high-resolution data and huge computational powers demand more detailed within-cell metrics for surface evolution modeling. This dissertation ...

EPFL2019

Sediment deposition and bank accretion are promoted by the establishment and growth of pioneer plant species, a direct consequence of plant survival during flood events. Similarly, the uprooting of riparian vegetation on river bars during floods can subseq ...

The effect of accelerated soil erosion on hillslope morphology

Sara Bonetti

Intensive agricultural land use can have detrimental effects on landscape properties, greatly accelerating soil erosion, with consequent fertility loss and reduced agricultural potential. To quantify the effects of such erosional processes on hillslope mor ...

Catchment drainage network scaling laws found experimentally in overland flow morphologies

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Mohsen Cheraghi

The scaling relation between the drainage area and stream length (Hack’s law), along with exceedance probabilities of drainage area, discharge and upstream flow network length are well known for channelized fluvial regions. We report here on a laboratory e ...

, ,

The ability of a large-scale Landscape Evolution Model (LEM) to simulate the soil surface morphological evolution as observed in a laboratory flume (1-m × 2-m surface area) was investigated. The soil surface was initially smooth, and was subjected to heter ...

Transport time scales in soil erosion modelling

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi

Unlike sediment transport in rivers, erosion of agricultural soil must overcome its cohesive strength to move soil particles into suspension. Soil particle size variability also leads to fall velocities covering many orders of magnitude, and hence to diffe ...
