Anisotropic volumetric behaviour of Opalinus Clay shale upon suction variation

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay shale is under consideration to serve as the host geomaterial for the underground storage of nuclear waste in Switzerland. Water retention behaviour and anisotropic behaviour represent two main features of this geomaterial; however, a compreh ...

Entrainment,motion, and deposition of coarse particles transported by water over a sloping mobile bed

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman

In gravel bed rivers, bed load transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space. Recently, stochastic bed load transport theories have been developed to address the mechanisms and effects of bed load transport fluctuations. Stochastic models i ...

Morphodynamics in river confluences

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

Within the fluvial network, confluences are considered particular areas in what concerns ecological connectivity, flood safety and water quality. These characteristics were degraded in many cases, by previous channelization works, which resulted in rivers ...

Hydro-morphodynamics of open-channel confluences with low discharge ratio and dominant tributary sediment supply

Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

River confluences in which the tributary supplies the dominant sediment load, and the flow discharge is abundantly provided by the main river, are typically observed in mountain-river basins. The existent knowledge on the hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and se ...

Laboratory and in situ simulation tests of the Excavation Damaged Zone around galleries in Opalinus Clay

Vincent Labiouse

In the context of nuclear waste disposal in clay formations, laboratory and in situ simulation experiments were performed to study at reduced scale the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) around tunnels in the indurated Opalinus Clay at Mont Terri, Switzerland. ...

Hollow cylinder simulation experiments of galleries in Boom Clay formation

Vincent Labiouse, Claire Sauthier, Shuang You

In the context of nuclear waste disposal in clay formations, laboratory experiments were performed to study at reduced scale the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) induced by the construction of galleries in the Boom Clay formation. For this purpose, thick-wall ...

Modelling of plunge pool scour evolution in non-cohesive sediments

Giovanni De Cesare, Sebastian Schwindt, Gaël Epely Chauvin

Turbulences in liquids caused by jets can be of interest for numerous applications. For one, it concerns flood spillway structures within civil engineering but also is key in any area where turbulent mixing is present. The numerical simulations of jets tha ...
