Morphodynamics of a width-variable gravel bed stream: new insights on pool-riffle formation from physical experiments
Chartrand, Shawn M.; Jellinek, A. Mark; Hassan, Marwan A.; Ferrer Boix, Carles (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-11)
Article
Open AccessField observations, experiments, and numerical simulations suggest that pool-riffles along gravel bed mountain streams develop due to downstream variations of channel width. Where channels narrow, pools are observed, and ... -
Numerical model for channel evolution after dam removal in a sand-gravel bed mixture
Ferrer Boix, Carles; Martín Vide, Juan Pedro; Parker, Gary (Tsinghua University, 2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyDam removal is a common tool for river restoration. Once a dam is removed an incised channel is developed in the upstream deposit. Material eroded from this deposit is flushed away downstream. Even though dam retirement ... -
