Floodplain Vegetation Density Effects on Meandering Channel Flow Patterns and Channel‐Floodplain Hydraulic Exchange

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Channel‐floodplain flow interactions are strongly influenced by riparian vegetation characteristics. However, due to the complicated relationships among floods, vegetation, and channel morphodynamics, these interactions are poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the influence of the density of rigid floodplain vegetation on flow in ...

Gravel Replenishment Downstream of Dams: Insights From a Flume Experiment in a Straight Embanked Channel

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Gravel replenishment (GR) is a common strategy to mitigate the negative effects of sediment deficit caused by dam regulation. However, its effectiveness in restoring dam‐regulated embanked gravel‐bed rivers with alternate bars is still unclear.

Understanding Tidal Jet Vortices Over Complex Bathymetry via Numerical Modeling and Drone Observation: Match and Mismatch in the Vortex Dynamics Under Idealized and Realistic Topographic Settings

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 129, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract The formation and evolution of tidal jet vortices over complex bathymetry were investigated using numerical modeling and in situ observation. Delft3D FM simulation on an unstructured grid system, complemented by field measurements using recreational drones captured tidal dynamics in the Uldolmok Strait, known for its strong tidal currents up ...

Assessment of 3D-RANS models for the simulation of topographically forced shallow flows

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016
In this work the performance of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations to predict the flow structure developed by the presence of a sidewall obstacle in a uniform open-channel shallow flow is discussed. The tested geometry was selected due to

Enhancement of two‐dimensional hydrodynamic modelling based on UAV‐ flow velocity data

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 2736-2750, July 2024.
We calibrated a 2D hydrodynamic model with three calibration sets and used UAV‐derived surface flow velocities and fixed velocity coefficients in an extensive cross‐validation and velocity conversion procedure. Performance varied between straight and meandering river reach, with bathymetry and distance to the channel centre as key factors.

UAVs for Hydrologic Scopes: Application of a Low-Cost UAV to Estimate Surface Water Velocity by Using Three Different Image-Based Methods

Drones, 2019
Stream velocity and flow are very important parameters that must be measured accurately to develop effective water resource management plans. There are various methods and tools to measure the velocity but, nowadays, image-based methods are a promising ...

The impacts of low flow, ice‐cover and ice thickness on sediment load in a sub‐arctic river – Modelling sediment transport with particle image velocimetry calibration data sets

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1954-1968, May 2024.
Image‐based river sediment transport simulations show a significant decrease in flow velocity and sediment load in ice‐covered river conditions compared to open‐water low‐flow conditions. When an additional increase in ice thickness was simulated, bedload increased because the thicker ice narrowed the river channel substantially.

2D and 3D Computational Modeling of Surface Flooding in Urbanized Floodplains: Modeling Performance for Various Building Layouts

Water Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Understanding the strengths and limitations of the modeling capacity of surface flooding in urbanized floodplains is of utmost importance as such events are becoming increasingly frequent and extreme. In this study, we assess two computational models against laboratory observations of surface urban flooding in a reduced‐scale physical model of
