Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A whole-sediment toxicity test with Myriophyllum aquaticum has been developed by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology and standardized within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO; ISO 16191). An international ring-test was performed ...

One of the common measures for river bank protection is the installation of riprap. There are several methods to design riprap appropriately, which are however generally limited to dumped medium size blocks. Nevertheless, an additional resistance against e ...
Use of oligochaete communities for the assessment of the biological quality and the functioning of watercourses : a review of data from the Geneva area (Switzerland). – Oligochaetes are used in some cantons in Switzerland to assess the biological quality o ...
Recent flood events in Switzerland and across Europe pointed out several deficiencies in hazard assessment, planning, and prediction methods for flood risk mitigation. A good understanding of the dynamics of mountain rivers, grounded on a sound physical-ba ...
Bedload fluctuations over time in steep rivers with wide grain size distributions have been observed, even under constant sediment feeding and water discharge. Observed bedload pulses are periodical and a consequence of grain sorting. Along with bedload, f ...
Many studies have emphasized the strength of bedload transport fluctuations in steep streams, especially at low and intermediate transport conditions (relative to the threshold of incipient motion). The origins of these fluctuations, which appear on a wide ...
Sediment transport hysteresis refers to the different sediment fluxes that can occur for the same discharge. For a single rainfall event, the overland flow hydrograph has rising and falling limbs, for which different hysteresis loops have been observed: (i ...
Sediment transport hysteresis occurs due to the different sediment fluxes for the same discharge on the rising and falling limb of the overland flow hydrograph. Experimental field data has shown that the common shapes of the hysteresis loops encompass (i) ...
Reservoir sedimentation and the resulting storage losses impact reliability, efficiency, safety and thus the sustainability of the hydropower schemes. Beside traditional storage hydropower plants, also pumped-storage facilities are affected. Flexible turbi ...
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 ...
