Mechanistic 2D flow-erosion modelling of vegetated river banks

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona

We present a simple, vertically-explicit 2D model of river bank erosion that also takes the effect of sediment stabilization by plant roots into account. The model is solved in quasi-analytical form for an exemplary non-stationary hydrograph temporal signa ...

Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Andrea Cimatoribus, Mohsen Cheraghi

Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...

Different erosion and entrainment mechanisms in snow avalanches

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Betty Sovilla, Xingyue Li

Erosion significantly affects the dynamics of gravity-driven mass flows. In snow avalanches, the snow cover can be substantially eroded but only partially entrained, however, there are very limited investigations to substantiate this difference. Here, we s ...

Model for the erosion onset of a granular bed sheared by a viscous fluid

Matthieu Wyart

We study theoretically the erosion threshold of a granular bed forced by a viscous fluid. We first introduce a model of interacting particles driven on a rough substrate. It predicts a continuous transition at some threshold forcing theta(c), beyond which ...

Thermal energy in dry snow avalanches

Michael Lehning, Walter Steinkogler

Avalanches can exhibit many different flow regimes from powder clouds to slush flows. Flow regimes are largely controlled by the properties of the snow released and entrained along the path. Recent investigations showed the temperature of the moving snow t ...

Fabrication of microfluidic mixers with varying topography in glass using the powder blasting process

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Abdeljalil Sayah

The powder-blasting method is used to fabricate structures with a three-dimensional topography in glass using elastomeric masks. The relation between the mask opening width and the erosion depth is exploited to fabricate microstructures with varying depth ...

Détection vibratoire de l'érosion de cavitation des turbines Francis

Cavitation erosion of Francis turbines continues to impose costly repairs and loss of revenues. This erosion is primarily caused by leading edge cavitation. A revue of the literature reveals the non-existence of an absolutely validated detection technique ...
