Experimental Investigation of Moisture Movement During Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Its Effect on Physical Rock Weathering in Low‐Porosity Alpine Limestone

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The progressive weakening of alpine rockwalls through subcritical cracking, driven by repeated low‐magnitude stress processes, plays a key role in alpine rock weathering. Laboratory studies using acoustic emission (AE) monitoring have shown that thermal stresses from freeze–thaw cycling induce crack propagation, with recent work highlighting ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Assessing Spatial Riverbed Clogging and Its Dynamics at the Reach Scale: A Coupled Approach Combining Field Measurements and 1D Hydro‐Sedimentary Numerical Modeling

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing spatial and temporal variability of clogging in gravel‐bed rivers is challenging because field methods typically rely on labor‐intensive measurements of fine‐sediment content, porosity, or hydraulic conductivity. Clogging is also highly dynamic, driven by hydro‐sedimentary conditions; yet few studies have examined it at large scales ...

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Influences of Depth of the Falling-sill on the Flow State Conversion of Underflow Hydraulic Jump

open access: yesRenmin Zhujiang, 2023
In restricted topographic conditions,a falling-sill can be set at the end of the discharge chute for the spillway.The length of the dissipation pool is shortened by increasing the flow velocity attenuation along the way of the jet,or increasing the ...
