Physical modelling of artificial river replenishment techniques to restore morphological conditions downstream of dams

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Elena Battisacco

First applied in the 1980’s, the artificial replenishment of sediments is one technique proposed to solve the problem of sediment deficit downstream dams. The present experimental research aims at improving the technique of river replenishment and at provi ...

Morphodynamic differences induced by different confluence angles in widen confluences

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

River widening is commonly used as a solution for the rehabilitation of rivers with the main purposes of allowing the river to adjust to its natural dynamics and to improve riparian and instream habitat for flora and fauna, by increasing the heterogeneity ...

Numerical experiments on breaking waves on contrasting beaches using a two-phase flow approach

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

A mechanistic understanding of beach environments needs to account for interactions of oceanic forcing and beach materials, in particular the role of waves on the evolution of the beach profile. A fully coupled two-phase flow model was used to simulate nea ...
