Design, commissioning and performance of a device to vary the turbulence in a recirculating flume

open access: yes, 2013
Ambient turbulent flow structures are one of the key drivers that will determine the rate of wake recovery downstream of tidal turbines. For second and third generation arrays or farms such a parameter is critical for the determination of inter-device ...

Extremely Fine‐Scale Soil Heterogeneity in a Rare Serpentine Endemic Plant Shape Patterns of Genetic Diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Variation in soil composition over the scale of meters was found to be a significant predictor of differences in the genetic composition of individuals in the critically imperiled plant C. tiburonensis. Our results suggest that spatially varying selection could be an important driver of evolution in this species, maintaining genetic diversity for this ...

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

open access: yes, 2016
In gravel-bed rivers, bedload transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space. Recently, stochastic bedload transport theories have been developed to address the mechanisms and effects of bedload transport fluctuations.

Experimental Investigation on the Effect of Sequences of Unsteady Flows on Bedload Sediment Transport

open access: yesGeosciences
Flash floods in ephemeral streams are rare, short and difficult to forecast and thus to monitor. During these events, bedload transport reaches very high rates and most sediment transport occurs within a limited number of hours during the course of a ...

Bottom and Suspended Sediment Backscatter Measurements in a Flume—Towards Quantitative Bed and Water Column Properties

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
For health and impact studies of water systems, monitoring underwater environments is essential, for which multi-frequency single- and multibeam echosounders are commonly used state-of-the-art technologies.

Comparison of measurement methods of the front velocity of small-scale debris flows

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2015
Debris flow is a gravity-driven process, which is characterized by a travelling dense surge including large boulders, and it is followed by a more fluid tail.

A dimensional analysis of supersaturated total dissolved gas dissipation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Elevated levels of total dissolved gas (TDG) may occur downstream of dam discharges, leading to increased incidence of gas bubble disease in fish. Accelerating the dissipation of supersaturated TDG in the downstream river can mitigate this negative ...

A flume study to investigate the contribution of main-channel bedforms on levee formation

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Natural levees can be observed worldwide in nearly all river systems characterized by frequent flooding in combination with the transport of suspended bed material.

Overflowing tests at the Polish DredgDikes research dike – stability of the dike surface against erosion

open access: yesEngineering Structures and Technologies, 2015
In the project DredgDikes the different research dike embankments were tested with respect to overflowing water induced erosion. Therefore, flumes were installed on the land side embankments in which the effect of overflowing water on the vegetated ...
