Managing reservoir sedimentation by venting turbidity currents: A review

Giovanni De Cesare, Anton Schleiss, Sabine Chamoun

Reservoir sedimentation is an issue that dam operators are increasingly facing as dams are aging. Not only does it reduce a reservoir's capacity but it also affects its outlet structures such as bottom outlets and powerhouse intakes. Sedimentation may also ...

Experimental investigation on turbidity current venting under restrained outflow discharges

Giovanni De Cesare, Anton Schleiss, Sabine Chamoun

Reservoir sedimentation is a worldwide problem affecting sustainable storage use as well as sediment transport downstream of dams. Various techniques are applied for sediment mitigation, among which, venting of turbidity currents. This paper reviews, discu ...

Measurement of the deposition of fine sediments in a channel bed

Giovanni De Cesare, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sabine Chamoun, Jessica Zordan

Various instruments allowing the measurements of bottom deposits of fine sediments exist. Different techniques are developed in order to suit diverse operating conditions. The present study considers two high-precision instruments, namely, an electrical re ...

Stochastic simulation of intermittent rainfall using the concept of “dry drift”

Marc Schleiss, Alexis Berne, Sabine Chamoun

A stochastic rainfall simulator based on the concept of “dry drift” is proposed. It is characterized by a new and nonstationary representation of rainfall in which the average rain rate (in log-space) depends on the distance to the closest surrounding dry ...

Nonstationarity in Intermittent Rainfall: The “Dry Drift"

Marc Schleiss, Alexis Berne, Sabine Chamoun

A particular aspect of the nonstationary nature of intermittent rainfall is investigated. It manifests itself in the fact that the average rain rate varies with the distance to the surrounding dry areas. The authors call this fundamental link between the r ...
