Flow structure and grain motion assessments of large river widening in a physical model using ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy

Local river widening aims to reduce the flood risk and enable the self-morphodynamic development of the river. However, a large amount of transported sediments settles due to the flow velocity reduction in the widening. Assessing the flow and the grain mot ...

River morphology and sediment transport processes numerical modeling applied to the fluvial environment of the Rhône River in Valais

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy, Francesc Molné Correig

Within the frame of the Third Rhône Correction, the river bend in Martigny is considered a top priority measure for flood protection. During the preliminary project, physical and numerical modeling tests were considered necessary. For the latter, the softw ...

Bedload transport assessment on a physical model of a large river widening using ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy

The 3rd correction of the Rhône River is the largest flood protection project in Switzerland so far. Covering a length of 162 km, it aims to protect some 100,000 people and prevent flood damages, which could raise up to 10 billion Swiss francs for major ev ...

Third correction of the Rhône River in Switzerland: physical and numerical modelling of the “Martigny bend” priority measure

Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Azin Amini, Pierre Bourqui, Jean-Noël Saugy, Irene Almeida Samora

The Rhône River, second largest in Switzerland, has already been corrected twice (1863-1893; 1930-1960) to ensure safety and economic development in the Rhône valley. However, in October 2000, the highest flood of the century occurred showing the limitatio ...

Physical and numerical model studies of the Martigny bend as part of 3rd correction of the Rhone River

Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy

The 3rd correction of the Rhone River (R3) is the largest flood protection project in Switzerland so far. Covering a length of 162 km, it aims to protect some 100,000 people and prevent flood damages, which could raise up to 10 billion CHF for major events ...

Anatomie d’un coude

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Raphaël Sprenger, Jean-Noël Saugy

À Martigny, le Rhône prend un virage à 90 degrés vers le nord-ouest. Un changement de cap qui influence fortement la dynamique du fleuve, surtout en période de crue. Afin de mieux en connaître les effets, la Plateforme de constructions hydrauliques de l’EP ...
