Journal ArticleDOI

Size, shape and dynamics of large-scale turbulent flow structures in a gravel-bed river

Andreé G. Roy, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an array of seven electromagnetic current meters with high resolution in both space and time to measure the streamwise velocity fluctuations in a gravel-bed river and found that large-scale turbulent flow structures occupied the entire depth of the flow and that they are elongated and narrow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial heterogeneity of near‐bed hydraulics above a patch of river gravel

Thomas Buffin-Bélanger, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial heterogeneity of fully turbulent, near-bed flows above gravel river beds is examined using a realistic replica of a natural gravel patch in a large flume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of a pebble cluster on the turbulent structure of a depth-limited flow in a gravel-bed river

Thomas Buffin-Bélanger, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of velocity taken at a high spatial and temporal resolution in a turbulent flow upstream and downstream from a pebble cluster are presented. But the results are limited to a 5m long section.
Journal ArticleDOI

1 min in the life of a river: selecting the optimal record length for the measurement of turbulence in fluvial boundary layers

Thomas Buffin-Bélanger, +1 more
- 15 May 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the effects of the sampling period on the precision of turbulence statistics obtained from velocity measurements in fluvial turbulent boundary layers, and show that, for most turbulence statistics, the optimal record length (minimum sampling effort to achieve low standard errors) ranges between 60 and 90 s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Freedom Space for Rivers: A Sustainable Management Approach to Enhance River Resilience

Pascale M. Biron, +9 more
- 07 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The freedom space concept is proposed to be implemented in current river management legislation because it promotes a sustainable way to manage river systems, and it increases their resilience to climate and land use changes in comparison with traditional river management approaches which are based on frequent and spatially restricted interventions.
