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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Comparison of measurement methods of the front velocity of small-scale debris flows
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]
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
Natural levees can be observed worldwide in nearly all river systems characterized by frequent flooding in combination with the transport of suspended bed material.

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 ...
