The variability of antidune morphodynamics on steep slopes

Steep streams on rough beds are generally characterised by supercritical flow conditions under which antidunes can develop and migrate over time. In this paper, we present flume experiments that we conducted to investigate the variability of antidune geome ...

Estimating Mean Bedload Transport Rates and Their Uncertainty

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Measuring bedload transport rates usually involves measuring the flux of sediment or collecting sediment during a certain interval of time Δt. Because bedload transport rates exhibit significant non‐Gaussian fluctuations, their time‐averaged rates depend a ...

Instability of Antidune Incipience under Low Submergence Conditions

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Sofi Farazande

Investigating the stability of river bedforms is essential for understanding their occurrence and evolution over time. Whereas the formation of ripples and dunes has been extensively studied [1, 2], little is known about antidune stability in the early sta ...

Experimental Study on Bedload Transport and Bedforms: Behaviour and Interplay in Steep Turbulent Streams

Ivan Pascal

In mountain regions, steep streams play an important role in water and sediment connectivity. In these highly dynamic systems, water flow features, sediment fluxes and stream morphologies are tightly interlinked over a broad range of temporal and spatial s ...

Modeling turbulent stream flows over rough permeable beds

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

In steep streams, turbulent flows run over coarse sediments that are similar in size to flow depth. Under these conditions, a significant part of the flow may seep through the permeable bed. Based on experimental data, this paper presents a model able to r ...

Do Antidune Trains Undergo Morphological Changes When These Bedforms Migrate Upstream?

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Upstream migrating antidunes develop in streams under supercritical flow conditions. These bedforms are often organised in trains (i.e. sequences of well-developed antidunes). In shallow flows over coarse sediments, the dynamics of a single antidune can be ...

Automated grain sizing from uncrewed aerial vehicles imagery of a gravel-bed river: Benchmarking of three object-based methods

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Raphaël Miazza

Measuring grain sizes in gravel-bed rivers is crucial when studying river dynamics and sediment transport. Automated methodologies have been developed in recent years for detecting individual grains and measuring their size on digital imagery. These object ...

How bar generate sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels

Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont, Ivan Pascal

We ran flume experiments with constant water dis- charge and sediment feed rate at the inlet. Experi- ments were conducted over long times (typically 600 h). The bars migrated downstream intermittently, producing the most important pulses. When the bar pos ...

Antidunes on steep slopes: variability of wave geometry and migration celerity

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

As a result of interactions between streamflow andsediment, riverbeds are seldom smooth, but depending onhydraulic and sediment transport conditions, they exhibitbedforms, which grow and migrate over time (upstreamor downstream). Morphology migration may e ...
