Fluvial Hydraulics of Mountain Regions [Paperback]

These proceedings of the International Workshop of Fluvial Hydraulics of Mountain Region (Trent, October 1989) can be regarded as the state-of-the-art on water flow and sediment transport in mountain rivers. The focus is on: - Hydrodynamics of steep rivers; - Sediment movement and sediment control; - Particular features on sediment transport relevant to non-uniform grain-size.to the papers.- Flow resistance over a gravel bed: Its consequence on initial sediment movement.- Turbulent flow with small relative submergence.- Flow resistance and sediment transportation in streams with step-pool bed morphology.- Modification of transport rate formula for steep channels.- Continuous simulation of sediment transport in the case of a glacierized watershed.- Determination of the critical conditions of incipient notion of bed load in mountain rivers.- Bed-load transport in steep channels.- Flume experiments on alternate bars in unsteady flow.- River bars and non linear dynamics.- Sediment yield and river bed change in mountain rivers.- A general model for intense sediment transport of plane bed.- Model investigations on the sediment transport of a lower alpine river.- Sediment movement on the kurobe alluvial fan.- Simulation of reservoir sedimentation in mountain regions.- Sediment sluicing in mountain reservoirs.- Review of disastrous torrent flood on the vlasina river on June 26, 1988  Including analysis of flood and the obtained results.- Research of fluvial processes in mountains a change of emphasis.- Mechanics and the existence criteria of various types of flows during massive sediment transport.- Numerical analysis of hillslope  Channel interaction in first order basins.- Modelling short- and long-term evolution of mountain rivers: An application to the torrent mallero (Italy).- Review of mountain river training procedures in Switzerland.- From the check dam to the development of functional check dams.- Downstream variation of grain size in gravel rivers: Abrasion versl&
