Bar dynamics and sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels

Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

Mountain rivers exhibit sediment transport rate fluctuations that often cover more than two orders of magnitude. Bedform migration is often cited as the key process that causes giant fluctuations in the sediment transport rate. To quantify the effect of be ...

The origin of fine sediment determines the observations of suspended sediment fluxes under unsteady flow conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Field observations in a wide range of environments have shown that sediment availability is a major control on the suspended sediment observations in streams. Here we examine, via laboratory experiments, how the amount of proximal in-channel fine sediment ...

Entrainment, transport and deposition of sediment by saline gravity currents

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Jessica Zordan

Few studies have addressed simultaneously the feedback between the hydrodynamics of a gravity cur- rent and the geomorphological changes of a mobile bed. Hydrodynamic quantities such as turbulent and mean velocities, bed shear stress and turbulent stresses ...

Continuous Monitoring of Bed-Load Transport in a Laboratory Flume Using an Impact Sensor

Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

Bed-load transport rate in gravel-bed rivers shows large non-Gaussian fluctuations, even under steady flow conditions. The development of high-resolution measurement techniques during the last two decades creates research opportunities to study the intermi ...

Computational hydraulic modelling of fine sediment stirring and evacuation through the power waterways at the Trift reservoir

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Azin Amini, Célestin Leupi, Sara Venuleo

Taking advantage of the withdrawal of some glaciers, several new dams will eventually be constructed in Switzerland in the coming years as a part of the 2050 energy strategy. The Trift dam, located in Berner Oberlands in Switzerland, is one of these new pr ...
