Channel curvature and riffle-pool bathymetry in meandering streams control complex hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. This study investigates how spatial and temporal heterogeneities in flow hydraulics influence ...

Numerous analog models and some natural examples display smoothly curving backlimb fold hinges over sharp, angular bends in the underlying thrust surface. We present a new kinematic model that can reproduce this geometry ...

The goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of tributary flow density differences on hydrodynamics and mixing at a confluent meander bend. A detailed field characterization is performed using an Acoustic Doppler ...

Analog modeling of a flat-ramp-flat fault system was performed and its geometry and displacement field were compared to those of different kinematic models such as classical fault bend folding, fault parallel flow, ...

Abstract

Coaracy Nunes was the first hydroelectric power plant in the Amazon region, being located in Araguari River, Amapa State, Brazil. The plant operates since 1976, presenting now a nominal capacity of 78 MW. The shear pins, ...
