5. Concluding remarks

Fluvial processes have influence on exploitation of reservoir and safety passage of floods  - description of the influence of deposits within the reach of the back-water on water surface elevation during floods,  - prediction of armouring layer on the Skawa River and its tributaries within the reach of the back-water,  - prediction of long-term changes in river/reservoir bed and their influence on backwater curve,  - prediction of gravel bar durability and stability,  - calculation of bedload transport in cross-sections in Zembrzyce and Swinna Poreba,  - calculation of suspended load transport in cross- sections in Zembrzyce and Swinna Poreba,

The project is important for National Water Management due to the following factors:

 1.There are several cities and villages within the back-water of Swinna Poreba reservoir and we are obliged to provide safety passage of floods,  2.The reservoir in Swinna Poreba is significant : it reduces the peak of flood in cross-section Krakow by 0.2-0.4 m  3.deposits in the Skawa river cause changes in river bed and hydraulic parameters, which increase groundwater level and water level during flood events,

4.Using the CCHE2D model is important for prediction of changes all fluvial processes in the Skawa river before and after constriction the Swinna Poreba water reservoir for all Water Authorities and hydraulics engineers

5.on the basis of forecasting of fluvial processes an instruction of exploitation of reservoir Swinna Poreba will be prepared (according to an agreement signed with the National Direction of Water Management in Krakow)

FieldField measurementsmeasurements –– samplesample freezingfreezing

Traditional method of collecting probes of bed load allow to describe only grains laying on the bed surface. Probe is disturbanced. Sample freezing method (using nitrogen) gives more benefits. The probe is taken as layer in bed. The sieve curves are made for few separate layers (about 10cm thick) starting from bed surface up to 0.4-0.5 m deep. This gives possibility to describe bed change processes which can be expected in treated river.

2.6. Granulometry of the river bars

The purpose of the task is to identify differences in granulometry and basic granulometric parameters along chosen indentified gravel bars.

Thouse granulometric parameters are suppose to change under different water conditions cosing by floods, thus river bars are proun to change their shape and granulometry.

Methodology for calculations granulometric parameters will be given in the final raport.

3. Laboratory measurements

In order to simulate and compare critical conditions of bedload transport during flood and calculated with CCHE2D model set of runs will be carry out:

shape of grains: a, b and c diameter,

mean diameter dm = 0.025, 0.035, 0.045 and 0.055 m, slopes: from 0.0 to 0.0847, discharges: from 0.0 to 0.130 [m3s-1], velocity profile: Nautilus C-2000,

4. On using numerical model

To predict fluvial processes were involved:

1. CCHE2D Model – the need of use this model is to predict agradation and degradation zones at river bed within back-water reach which influence on water level and safety passage of flood,

2. ARMOUR software, 3. TRANS software, 4. SP-RES model,

Base on our measurements we made simulations and I like to present some example of test run.

4.1.1 CCHE2D Model - description CCHE2D is a state-of-the-art two-dimensional, unsteady, turbulent river flow, sediment transport, and water quality evaluation model. The model is targeted for applications in the areas: a) predicting river bed and bank erosion and sediment transport with armouring effects, b) meander migration, Thec) water CCHE2D quality, model has been verified and validated using d) aevaluating variety of thetest effectscases involving: of the hydraulic structures, both - laboratoryon river flumes morphology and natural and rivers, water channels quality forwith riverineand withouthabitats, hydraulic structures, -e) sedimenttransition transport, between aggradation subcritical andand supecriticaldegradation flow of the in or movablenear hydraulic bed structures, channel expansion and - flowcontraction, domain with multiple inlets and outlets, river bends...

4.1.2a Mathematical model - Governing Equations

The momentum equations are:

(1)

uBecause,  - velocity many components open channel in x and flows y directions, are shallow t - watertime; gproblems,=9,8067 m the2/s, effectη - water of vertical surface motion elevation; is usually ρ =1000 of insignificant3 magnitude. The depth integrated 2D kg/m , h - local water depth; fCor - Coriolis parameter, xx equations,  ,  - are depth generally integrated accepted Reynolds for studyingstresses; the  , open  - channelxy yx hydraulicsyy with resonable accuracy. bx by shear stresses on the bed and flow interface.

4.1.2a Mathematical model - Governing Equations

Free surface elevation for the flow is calculated by the depth-integrated continuity equation:

This equation is widely accepted and utilized for 2Dmodels

4.1.2a Mathematical model - Governing Equations

The CCHE2D model uses the Efficient Element Method (special finite element method) to discretize the 2D depth averaged shallow water flow equations. The inertial terms in the momentum equations are discretized using convective shape functions (upwinding) to achieve stability. The other terms in the equation are discretized using modified lagrangian interpolating functions. In order to avoid node to node oscillation in the numerical solution the convective terms in the equation (1) need to be computed in the way that the upstream information of the flow are emphasized to a degree corresponding to the strength of the convection.

4.1.2b Mathematical model - Eddy Viscosity

The stresses ij in the momentum equations are approximated using Boussinesq assumption with a

coefficient of eddy viscosity t :

The model provides three different turbulent closure

schemes to evaluate the turbulent viscosity t in the momentum equations: - depth averaged model, - mixing length eddy viscosity model, - k- turbulence closure scheme.

4.1.2c Mathematical model - Shear Stress on the Bed There are many ways in hydraulics to evaluate the shear velocity on the channel bed two alternatives are adopted in the CCHE2D model.

The first is using the depth-integrated logarithmic law:

u - the total shear velocity, z - distance from the bed, zo - variable

4.1.2c Mathematical model - Shear Stress on the Bed The second utilize the Manning’s coefficient:

For practical applications the second method is recommended because it is easier to lump the effects of bed form, channel geometry, sediment size and vegetation, etc. into this coefficient. But for detailed near field simulation/verification with experimental data, the first approach is physically sound and thus worth adopting if roughness parameter is available. 4.1.2c Mathematical model - Shear Stress on the Bed

It is important that when loose bed and bank are considered (with or without sediment in motion), the roughness height and Manning’s n used for calculating shear stress should include both bed material grain size and bed form roughness effects. These two parameters representing bed resistance to the flow can be converted from each other using Strickler’s formula:

ks - roughness height

4.1.2d Mathematical model - Bed Roughness

Bed Roughness Calculations

If the first option Use the value in *.geo file is selected, the CCHE2D model will use the roughness value specified in the geometry file throughout the computation process. For other options, the model computes the bed roughness after every time step based on the specified criteria

4.1.2e. Mathematical model - Sediment Transport The bed load transport formula developed by van Rijn is adopted:

cr - critical shear stress according to Shields

4.1.2e. Mathematical model - Sediment Transport The critical shear stress is calculated according Yalin’s suggestion, which modified the Shields curve:

4.1.2e. Mathematical model - Sediment Transport

The shear stress  in this formula is evaluated from:

where C is the Chezy’s coefficient due to particle friction

4.1.2e. Mathematical model - Sediment Transport

Bed Load Motion Affected by Transversal Slope; Correction to the Critical Shear Stress: the critical shear stress obtained from flat bed assumptions has to be corrected according to the slope angles in the streamwise and transversal direction

Bed Load Motion Affected by Secondary Flow: natural river channels usually have curved meandering patterns. When water flows along a curved channel with varying curvatures, secondary current would occur due to the centrifugal force; bed load always tends to move towards to the inner bank of the channel systematically making the channel more and more curved,

4.3. Other numerical models - TRANS

TRANS software calculates bed load transport.

Its calibrations were done in Polish mountain rivers where gravel mean diameter size often overcomes 0.05 m. Bed load transport is calculated using M-P-M equation with Shields factor depended on hiding factor. This software can be used simultaneously to CCHE2D to compare amount of transported bed load.

4.4. Other numerical models - SP-RES

The computation by SP-RES has been carried on for two different variants of water management in the reservoir: in the first one constant water level (outflow equals inflow for each time interval) at the maximum storage capacity of the reservoir has been assumed; in the second one the water level was computed from the hydrographs of daily inflow, and outflow from the stage-storage relationship of the reservoir. The SP- RES model is going to be used independently from the CCHE-software, for predicting long term changes in river-reservoir bed and their influence on backwater curve.

5. CONCLUDING REMARKS Difficulties we face so far during time-being of the project

- the 2003 hydrological year was dry and no flooding occurred in spring and summer - wait for the flood caused by the spring snow melting - the river training work has been started around the river-bridge close to Zembrzyce but those works are local and so far they have no influence on the project - the maximum water level of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir will be reduced by 0.6m so we had to extend the research area of the measurements

Difficulties ...

5. CONCLUDING REMARKS

- the measurements done so far are sufficient to run real case of a model CCHE2D

- simulations done up-to now using CCHE2D model within the research region from the test runs gives the possibility to answer the question of the fluvial processes in the river channel

- basing on the information from National Water Management from Krakow that the maximum water level of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir will be reduced by 0.6m so we had to extend the research area of the measurements
