Presentation Transcript

  1. Integrated Design • Key engineering concepts • Conveyance, capacity of the channel to move water • Reliability, capacity of the system to maintain itself and function without breakdown • Safety, ability to avoid hazards and recover from upsets

  2. Linking Conveyance and Reliability to Restoration and Enhancement • Plant response to flows • How plants “react” to flow, how they steer flow • Modeling flood flows • How looking at roughness as a dynamic parameter changes the equation • Failure modes • Erosion • Overtopping, cracks, holes • Separating people from danger

  3. Plant-Water Interactions • Plant species • Branch density • Rigid/flexible/bending • Emergent/submerged • Scale • Plant scale/stand-reach • Leaf area index (LAI)

  4. Emergent/Submerged • Engineers love equations…..

  5. Rigid/Flexible/Bending

  6. Rigid/Flexible/Bending • Recent research with field tests of bending. • Modulus of elasticity estimated for tree species; natural materials exhibit high variability. From: Stone et al (2013)

  7. Rigid/Flexible/Bending • Bending characteristics estimated for flow velocities using vegetation-bending algorithm. • Results provide approach for predicting bending behavior; i.e., “dynamic” hydraulic roughness. From: Stone et al (2013)

  8. Energy Losses from Vegetation • Plant geometry • Topology • Age • Seasonality • Foilage • Volumetric/areal porosity • Density • Patchiness

  9. Hydraulic Roughness • Past – one value for entire floodplain, plants increase roughness • Current – multiple values for parts of floodplains, plants affect roughness +/- • Emerging – dynamic values accounting for velocity and depth, plants used to place roughness

  10. Manning’s Equation

  11. Variations in Hydraulic Roughness • Channel-floodplain hydraulic geometry • Flow depth and plant height • Plant age

  12. Hydraulic Roughness - Variations with Hydraulic Geometry • Depth in Channel and Floodplain From Chow (1959)

  13. Hydraulic Roughness - Variations with Hydraulic Geometry • Shearing effects and resistance from vegetation and topography slow floodplain overflows. • This, in turn, causes a reduction in the velocity of the flow in the main channel also and leads to a point when channel-floodplain storage is optimized.

  14. Floodplain Storage Optimization • Independent research indicates channel-floodplain storage is optimized when average channel and floodplain velocity is minimized at depth ratios of 1.2 > D/Dc > 1.6, where D = flood depth and = Dc bankfull depth. D= 19-feet Dc= 16-feet D/Dc = 19/16 = 1.2 From: Bhowmikand Demissie, 1982

  15. Hydraulic Roughness – Variation with Flow Depth and Plant Height • Hydraulic resistance varies with canopy height (CH) and foilage/branch density (FD). • Conceptually, as plants submerge roughness decreases from FD value to near novegetation (NV) value. • This neglects understory complexity, bending, etc. From: Anderson et al (2006)

  16. Hydraulic Roughness – Variation with Flow Depth and Plant Height • Four plant scenarios modeled using NWS FLDWAV (1D); 0.0m, 0.5m, 1.5m, 3.0m. • Bare earth n=0.043 and maximum n=0.150. • Weighted average approach of horizontal “slices” defined roughness variation with depth. From: Anderson et al (2006)

  17. Hydraulic Roughness – Variation with Flow Depth and Plant Height • Q2 and Q100 flood waves routed 60 km. • Peak flow attenuation greater for Q100 . • Rising limb flattens more for Q2 with more peak flow lag in various plant scenarios. From: Anderson et al (2006)

  18. Hydraulic Roughness – Variation with Vegetation Community Age • For the same flood stage, plants present a different hydraulic resistance during their life cycle – not addressed much in the literature! n2>n3>n1 n1 n2>n1 Colonization Juvenile Old Age

  19. Floodplain Definitions • Hydraulic floodplain - “The surface next to the channel that is inundated once during a given return period regardless of whether this surface is alluvial or not.” (Hydraulic Engineering Centre, 1976; Ward, 1978) • Genetic floodplain - “The largely horizontally-bedded alluvial landform adjacent to a channel, separated from the channel by banks, and built of sediment transported by the present flow-regime.” Nanson and Cooke (1992) • Polyphase floodplain – “The product of secular climate or other environmental (e.g. base level or land use) change.” Nanson and Cooke (1992)

  20. Floodplain Evolution • Floodplain terraces. From: Leopold et al (1992)

  21. Floodplain Evolution • Natural levees. From: Greenfieldgeography – Floodplain Mangement (2013) http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/Floodplain+management

  22. Update with Central Valley example From: Cook Inlet Wetlands (2013) http://www.kenaiwetlands.net/EcosystemDescriptions/Riparian.htm

  23. Floodplains and Groundwater From Malanson (1993)

  29. Floodplain Functions

  30. Ecohydrology Management Concepts • Ecologically Significant Floods • Ecosystem Function Relationships • Seasonal Recruitment of Floodplain Vegetation • Survival of Floodplain Vegetation in Regulated Systems • Long-Term Seasonal Sustainability

  31. Ecologically Significant Floods • Large events are important geomorphically to create, disturb and maintain floodplain habitat. • Small/moderate longer duration events are important for species utilization. From: McBain and Trush (XXXX)

  32. Ecosystem Function Relationships

  33. Seasonal Recruitment of Floodplain Vegetation • xxx Mahoney and Rood, 1998

  34. Survival of Floodplain Vegetation in Regulated Systems From: Stillwater Sciences, 2006

  35. Long-Term Seasonal Sustainability USACOE HEC, 2009

  36. Additional Design Concepts • Natural levee emulation • Non-uniform floodplain levee storage • Strategic flow resistance schemes • Levee modifications

  37. Non-Uniform Floodplain Levee Storage and Levee Modification Concepts • Consider maintaining/modifying existing levees near river (similar to natural levees). Uniform Floodplain Levee Storage • Two-stage levees increase detention storage function of floodplain. (Jansen et al, 1979) Non-Uniform Floodplain Levee Storage

  38. Strategic Flow Resistance (Plan View) Establish tree plantings in “chevron-shaped” patterns on wide floodway areas to distribute and slow the movement of overbank flood flows.

  39. Flood Modeling Approach • Advantages of models in floodplain restoration design • Types of models • 1, 2 and 3 dimensional hydraulic models • What you need to build a model • Where you get the information • What the models show you/how to read the outputs

  40. Types of Models • Hydraulic [HEC-RAS, M11, M21, M3, Delft3D] • Ecological [HEC-EFM, ??] • Biological [RIVER2D, ??]
