Small-scale laboratory dam-break waves on movable beds
Benoît Spinewine,Yves Zech +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of small-scale laboratory experiments of dam-break waves propagating over loose granular beds, realised in a dedicated flume equipped with a fast downward-moving gate, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Velocity and Excess Density Profiles of Saline Underflows and Turbidity Currents Flowing over a Mobile Bed
Octavio E. Sequeiros,Octavio E. Sequeiros,Benoît Spinewine,Benoît Spinewine,Benoît Spinewine,Rick T. Beaubouef,Rick T. Beaubouef,Tao Sun,Marcelo H. Garcia,Gary Parker +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of velocity and fractional excess density profiles of saline density and turbidity currents flowing over a mobile bed are analyzed. But the results are limited to the Froude-subcritical regime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaudhry,Andres Die Moran,Kamal El Kadi,Rui Ferreira,Ignacio Fraga Cadórniga,Noemi Gonzalez-Ramirez,Massimo Greco,Wei Huang,Jasim Imran,Jérôme Le Coz,Reza Marsooli,André Paquier,Gareth Pender,Marianeve Pontillo,Jerónimo Puertas,Benoît Spinewine,Catherine Swartenbroekx,Ryota Tsubaki,Catherine Villaret,Weiming Wu,Zhiyuan Yue,Yves Zech +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a benchmark test launched within the framework of the NSF-PIRE project "Modeling of Flood Hazards and Geomorphic Impacts of Levee Breach and Dam Failure" are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dam-break induced sediment movement: Experimental approaches and numerical modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the issues and the scope of work conducted under the framework of the European Research Project IMPACT, in the field of dam-break induced geomorphic flows, at the Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments on Wedge-Shaped Deep Sea Sedimentary Deposits in Minibasins and/or on Channel Levees Emplaced by Turbidity Currents. Part II. Morphodynamic Evolution of the Wedge and of the Associated Bedforms
Benoît Spinewine,Octavio E. Sequeiros,Marcelo H. Garcia,Rick T. Beaubouef,Tao Sun,Bruno Savoye,Gary Parker +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a generic model for the emplacement of wedge-shaped sedimentary deposits by Froude-supercritical density currents has been proposed and experiments on a generic configuration have been conducted.
