Unsteady 1D flow model of a river with partly vegetated floodplains - application to the Rhine River
نویسنده
چکیده
A relatively simple unsteady flow model was proposed which estimates velocities, friction factors and the components of discharge in the main channel and on the floodplains simultaneously. Bottom roughness of the main channel and the floodplains, the flow resistance of vegetation on the floodplains and the flow resistance caused by the momentum transfer between the main channel and the floodplains were included in the model using Nuding’s method. A pre-processing program was developed to convert topographic field data that can be derived from a digital terrain model into cross-sectional input data of the flow model. The model was applied to a 28-km reach on the Upper Rhine for three steady flow cases and for two unsteady flood event cases to investigate resistance effects of partly vegetated floodplains. Computed discharges and water levels correlated well with the measured data. It was found that a significant component of discharge was transported by the floodplains in some cross-sections during high flows. 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Flow resistance due to lateral momentum transfer in partially vegetated rivers
[1] In the study of natural rivers, accurate conveyance estimation is challenging because of complex cross-sectional geometry and variable flow resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the additional friction factor due to lateral momentum transfer at the interface of vegetated and nonvegetated channel parts in two rivers: (1) the Rhine River, a large dredged river with partially ve...
متن کاملUnsteady 1D flow model of compound channel with vegetated floodplains
In areas that are occasionally inundated by floods, it is essential to know the quantity and density of vegetation that can be allowed while avoiding flooding beyond the intended floodplains. An unsteady flow model was developed for a channel with vegetated floodplains, to take into account the retention effects of the vegetated areas on flood wave conveyance. A one-dimensional (1D) unsteady fl...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Simple Hydraulic Resistance Model Using Flow Measurements Collected in Vegetated Waterways
A simple idealized model to describe the hydraulic resistance caused by vegetation is compared to results from flow experiments conducted in natural waterways. Two field case studies are considered: fixed-point flow measurements in a Green River (case 1) and vessel-borne flow measurements along a cross-section with floodplains in the river Rhine (case 2). Analysis of the two cases shows that th...
متن کاملComparison of One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Modeling Approaches For Red River Basin
A devastating flood in Red River valley in 1997 emphasized the need to study the flood control measures in the Red River basin using state of the art modeling tools. The Red River and its floodplains can be modeled using one-dimensional, quasi two-dimensional or fully two-dimensional hydrodynamic models. Each modeling approach has its own advantages and limitations. The main purpose of this rep...
متن کاملFloodplain Hazard Mapping in the Iranshahr River by Using Two-Dimensional Numerical Modelling and GIS
Today, the preparation of flood zoning maps is one of the basic and important issues in the study of development projects in the world; it is considered before any investment by the related organizations. In this paper, flood zoning was performed using the two-dimensional model HEC-RAS and GIS in order to assess the risk of the construction of a railway station near the bank of the Iranshahr Ri...
