Fine sediment routing in a cascade of alpine reservoirs: Influence of the inlet angle on settling of fine sediments

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

Reservoir sedimentation is, at present, one of the main concerns in the operational management of dams. The resulting reduction of storage capacity has negative impacts on the hydropower production, flood protection, and availability of water for irrigatio ...

Turbulence anisotropy in a compound meandering channel with different submergence conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

The understanding of the physical processes related to flows on compound meandering channels is a challenge given their highly 3D and complex characteristics. Three-dimensional ADV measurements were made in three cross-sections on a 1:20 physical Froude mo ...
