Lecture

River Hydraulics and Morphological Development

Description

This lecture covers the hydraulic aspects of rivers, including hydraulic geometry, flow dynamics, and morphological responses over time. It discusses the development of river channels, the influence of human activities, and the relationship between flow rates and channel adjustments. The instructor presents case studies, such as the Rhône River in 2019, to illustrate the concepts. The lecture also explores the characteristics of different river morphologies, such as braided streams and meandering rivers, and the factors affecting their formation. Additionally, it delves into the use of laser scanning technology for morphological studies and the importance of understanding river morphology for effective waterway development.
