  • In situ evidence of self-accelerating turbidity currents

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 123, 22, National Academy of Sciences, 26 May 2026, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Self-accelerating turbidity currents (SATCs) are hypothesized to be the primary mechanism for transporting vast amounts of sediment to the deep ocean. However, theoretical predictions of SATCs have preceded field observations by decades, leaving a critical gap in our understanding of this long-distance delivery process. Here, we present results from a four-year field survey of turbidity currents and bathymetric evolution in the Xiaolangdi Reservoir on the Yellow River (China), the world’s most sediment-laden river. We provide definitive in situ evidence of SATCs, characterized by synchronous down-channel increases in sediment mass and current momentum, alongside massive channel incision at the event scale. Notably, these SATCs occur in a low-gradient lacustrine setting, challenging the prevailing hypothesis that such phenomena are restricted to steep submarine channels or high velocity conditions. We identify a dimensionless threshold, incorporating current velocity, channel slope, and sediment settling velocity, that governs SATC formation across sublacustrine and marine environments. This threshold provides a robust framework for predicting SATC occurrence and informs engineering strategies to sustain reservoir capacity and restore sediment connectivity in dammed river systems.

  • Upstream‐Migrating Bars in Partially Transporting Straight Channels: Numerical Simulation and Theoretical Interpretation
    Toshiki Iwasaki; Soichi Tanabe; Norihiro Izumi
    Water Resources Research, 61, 10, American Geophysical Union (AGU), 25 Oct. 2025, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Alluvial bars in straight channels generally migrate downstream or can be non‐migrating but rarely migrate upstream. On the other hand, a recent long‐term field observation suggested a possibility of the upstream migration of bars. To understand this rare morphodynamic feature of alluvial bars, we herein perform non‐linear numerical simulations of alluvial bar formation and development in a straight channel. More specifically, we simulate alluvial bar dynamics under steady discharge and unsteady discharge (repeated hydrographs), wherein the bar regime retains super‐resonance condition. The result shows that initially formed, short downstream‐migrating free bars elongate, becoming much longer upstream migrating bars. The former bar elongation can be understood as a well‐observed non‐linear response of the bars, but much longer bar formation might originate from different morphodynamic features. The theoretical interpretation for this result using temporal and spatial mode linear analysis suggests a sort of forced bar formation in the upstream channel originating from nearly non‐migrating, slow‐movement bars. In other words, nearly non‐migration bars act as forcing factors, similar to an asymmetric obstacle in the channel, leading to an upstream morphodynamic influence observed under super‐resonance conditions. Subsequently, an interaction/coexistence of free‐migrating and forced‐steady bar responses may contribute to the formation of upstream‐migrating bars. These results provide new insights into the migration features of alluvial bars, but they still require a comprehensive theoretical framework to explain them. Additionally, observing upstream‐migrating bars will be an important future research, although it will be difficult due to the considerably slow migration speed predicted by the present numerical simulation.
  • Effect of grain-sorting waves on alternate bar dynamics: implications of the breakdown of the hydrograph boundary layer
    Soichi Tanabe; Toshiki Iwasaki
    Earth Surface Dynamics, 13, 4, 723, 743, Copernicus GmbH, 25 Aug. 2025, [Peer-reviewed], [Last author]
    English, Scientific journal, Abstract. Understanding the morphological responses of gravel-bed rivers to changes in external forces (e.g. water and sediment supply conditions) is a critical concern in river science and engineering. However, this remains challenging because river responses depend heavily on the distance from the source point where such environmental changes occur. In this study, we focus on the short-term effects of flood-scale non-equilibrium sediment supply on downstream alternate bar dynamics in poorly sorted gravel-bed rivers using a numerical morphodynamic model. Specifically, a two-dimensional morphodynamic calculation was performed using iRIC-Nays2DH in a straight channel under repeated cycles of an unsteady water hydrograph and a constant supply of poorly sorted sediment. In well-sorted sediment cases, the upstream non-equilibrium sediment supply only affects a limited distance from the upstream end (i.e. the hydrograph boundary layer). However, the inclusion of poorly sorted sediment disrupts this concept and leads to the migration of low-amplitude bedload sheets farther downstream. In this context, the upstream water and sediment boundary conditions may affect far-downstream river dynamics through the migration of bedload sheets. The numerical results showed that the migration of bedload sheets and the associated fine sediment transport substantially affected the alternate bar dynamics and changed their texture. However, this effect of bedload sheets on the bars cannot propagate along the entire channel and disappears completely in alternate bars located further downstream. These results suggest that upstream non-equilibrium sediment supply conditions in poorly sorted sediment play a major role in downstream alternate bar dynamics. However, this effect becomes negligible further downstream because bedload sheets gradually disperse during their migration process into larger and more active morphological features, such as alternate bars.
  • Morphological response of gravel bed rivers near a knickpoint: Effect of bars on dynamic equilibrium river profile
    Soichi Tanabe; Toshiki Iwasaki; Yasuyuki Shimizu
    Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Wiley, 13 Aug. 2024, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Geomorphological evolution is one of the main factors that increases flood damage in small or medium rivers located in upstream river reaches. These types of flood damage have been increasing at knickpoints where the riverbed slope and river width change abruptly and are likely to cause non‐equilibrium conditions for sediment transport during floods. Therefore, it is important to understand the non‐equilibrium morphological response at the knickpoint and the resulting new dynamic equilibrium state under given external forces. The effects of two‐dimensional (2D) morphological features on the dynamic equilibrium riverbed profile, however, have not been specifically studied because the methods currently in use for calculating equilibrium profiles are based on zero‐ or one‐dimensional (0D or 1D) modeling. Here, we perform numerical calculations using the 2D morphodynamic model iRIC‐Nays2DH to clarify the dynamic equilibrium profile and the process of reaching a dynamic equilibrium state. We also use an existing 1D model to show the 2D effect in the dynamic equilibrium state. To understand this, we set up three channels: slope transition point, width transition point, and both the slope and width transition point. 1D results show a constant slope profile in channels with constant width and upward‐convex profiles in channels with width expansion at the equilibrium state, owing to the adjustment of the difference in sediment transport volume in the two reaches with different widths by changing the slopes. In contrast, the 2D results show that the alternate bars create a small autogenic knickpoint even in the straight channel and significantly dampen sediment deposition at the width expansion point, as seen in the 1D model result. This was because the bars' shape increased the volume of sediment transport because the shape of the bars concentrated flow. These results suggest that 2D morphological features, such as fluvial bars, play a significant role in the equilibrium riverbed profile.
  • Assessment of risks associated with development of river meandering under climate change using a physics-based free-meandering model

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Recent increases in heavy rainfall events, which may have resulted from climate change, have caused various natural water- and sediment-related disasters. A typical sediment-related disaster in a steep gravel-bed river is extreme bank erosion and subsequent meander development, damaging residential areas and infrastructure along the river. Assessing the bank erosion rate and its future changes under climate change is essential to prevent such severe disasters. Here, we propose a simple but useful framework for this purpose using a physics-based numerical model of free meandering and a large dataset of flood hydrographs generated from climate and runoff models. First, numerical experiments on meandering development were conducted using a two-dimensional morphodynamic model of free meandering. The results indicate that meander dynamics could reach a dynamic equilibrium state under several hydraulic and channel geometry conditions, and the characteristics of the simulated meandering channel were reasonably consistent with the field data. The meander amplitude of this state was positively correlated with the steady discharge; therefore, the increase in flow discharge may have an important effect on river dynamics under climate change. To quantify this effect, we combined a simple predictor of meander amplitude derived from a numerical experiment with a flood hydrograph dataset for current and future climatic conditions. The results suggest that the meander amplitude increased significantly for the same probability of occurrence; therefore, the risk of riverbank erosion due to river meandering will increase significantly under future climate conditions.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 74, 4, I_1207, I_1212, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2018, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal,  In this study, we investigate the effects of the triangle-shape water surface waves induced by the river antidunes on the stability of concrete block, which is a modelled river revetment work. The water surface waves cannot develop over a fixed flat bed even if we obtain a hydraulic condition, which allows the development of surface waves under a movable bed. The comparision of the block stability experiments between fixed and movable bed under same hydraulic condition therefore obtain the destabilizing effect of the surface wave on the block. The experimental results shows that the presence of the triangle-shape water surface wave significantly destabilizes the block installed on the bed because of the occurance of high velocity induced by the waves and an upward flow from the trough to crest of the antidunes.

    Japanese,  Large-scale bank erosion caused by channel change during flood often causes serious disasters in gravel bed rivers. In this study, we focused on the influence of sediment dynamics in river channel on the channel change inducing bank erosion. From the results of sediment balance in the Pekerebetsu River and the Otofuke River during a flood, we showed the possibility that sediment supply from the bank affect stream channel change to expand bank erosion in the river. We carried out the experiments on the influence of sediment supply from the bank on the channel change, and showed that sediment supply from the bank can be a cause of channel change inducing large-scale bank erosion.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 74, 4, I_1033, I_1038, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2018
    Japanese, Scientific journal,  Understanding and predicting of the bedload transport processes in rivers are of great importances for better sediment management works. In this study, we propose a numerical model to understand the bedload transport processes by simulating passive bedload tracer particles. A movable bed experiment with the use of colored bedload tracers is performed to understand the advection-dispersion processes of the tracers, i.e., how the tracer particles transport and disperse over the movable bed. We numerically reproduce observed behaviors of the bedload tracers by using a flux-type tracer transport model combined with a two-dimensional bed evolution model. The experimental results suggest that the bedload mixing process associated with a small-scale bedform dominates the advection-dispersion of tracers. The appropriate determination of the active layer thickness by considering this vertical bedload mixing process is necessary to reproduce the tracer advection speed.

    Japanese, It is important mitigating flood damage by overflow from a levee breached. The mechanism of levee breach has not been clarified. This study aims to clarify the below point, the effect of channel width and channel bed profile on levee breach processes by using a numerical model to simulate levee breaches based on results of the experiments. The results of the simulation are as follows: In the case of steep slope channel, levee breach widening is dominant. In the case of mild-slope channel, river bed erosion is dominant.

    Japanese, It is important mitigating flood damage by overflow from a levee breached. The mechanism of levee breach has not been clarified. This study aims to clarify the below point, the effect of channel bed profile and channel width on levee breach processes by using a numerical model to simulate levee breaches based on results of experiments using the Chiyoda Experimental Channel. The results of the simulation are as follows: In the case of steep slope channel, levee breach widening is dominant. In the case of mild- slope channel, river bed erosion is dominant.

    Japanese, &nbsp;Niida River is well know to supply highly contaminated suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs originated from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant to the ocean. We examine the oceanic dispersal and inventories of the sediments and suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs in the ocean floor derived from Niida River, using the quadraple nested JCOPE2-ROMS 3D circulation model in a very high resolution configuration, coupled with a 3D multi-class sediment transport model, the iRIC-Nays 2DH river sediment model, the SWAN spectral wave model, and a static <sup>137</sup>Cs absorption model. We focus on the storm and flood event associated with Typhoon 201326 (Wipha) passed off the Fukushima Coast, which provoked an enomous amount of riverine fluxes, to quantitatively assess the accumulation and erosion of the sediments and resultant suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs inventories around the river mouth and nearshore areas.

    Japanese, &nbsp;This study presents a modeling of three-dimensional river antidunes using a Boussinesq model with a non-equilibrium bedload transport model, and discuss the relation of this three-dimensional bedform instability to the triangle-shape water surface wave trains. We performed a linear stability analysis of the three-dimensional antidunes, showing that the proposed model in part reproduces the three-dimensionality of the antidunes. The dominant longitudinal and transverse wave numbers predicted by the analysis are reasonably in agreement with the characteristics of the triangle-shape water surface wave trains, although the model tends to overestimate the wavelength of the water surface waves.

    Japanese, &nbsp;We examine oceanic dispersal of the iRIC-Nays2DH-evaluated sediment and suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs influxes from Niida River, Fukushima, with a particular attention to the first flood event in late May of 2011 after the Fukushima nuclear accident. Alongshore suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs transport occurs assymetrically, comprising storm-driven southward transport confined in the shallow area due to shoreward Ekman transport associated with strong northerly wind, followed by northwestward widespread transport under mild southerly wind condition. About 70 % of the Niida River-derived suspended <sup>137</sup>Cs remains near the mouth for 20 days after the flood event. Nevertheless, our model results as well as an observation suggest that the area is dominated by erosion as for high bed shear stress all the time, thus suspended radionuclides are redistributed to dissipate away in long term.

    Japanese, Dynamics of river bedforms which is an interfacial instability phenomenon between turbulent open channel flow and movable bed significantly affect the flow structures and sediment transport dynamics in rivers, so that this have been an classical and important research topic in the field of river engineering. Here, we perform a linear stability analysis for several combinations of flow and sediment transport submodels, specifically, a shallow flow model and a Boussinesq type depth-integrate model for hydrodynamic model, and an equilibrium and a non-equilibrium bedload transport model for sediment mass conservation model. We then investigate how the submodels adopted determine the linear stability and the wavelength of river bedforms. The results show that the combination of the Boussinesq model and the non-equilibrium bedload transport model can explain the antidune instability and its finite wavelength observed in several published experiments, whereas, use of each submodel alone is insufficient to explain the finite wavelength of antidunes.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 71, 4, I_877, I_882, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2015, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, This paper presents numerical simulations of tracer particle transport both in the absence and presence of free bars. The transport and diffusion of tracer particles is affected by both the probabilistic motion of sediment particles and by the river bed geometry associated with free bars. We compare results of numerical models using an equilibrium (flux-based model) and a non-equilibrium (entrainment-based model) conservation formulation for river bed variation associated with bedload transport. The results show that 1) the entrainment-based morphodynamic model successfully reproduces free bar formation, 2) the flux-based morphodynamic model fails to simulate tracer diffusion in the absence of bars, and 3) free bar formation enhances streamwise tracer diffusion.

    English, A multilevel grid-type turbulent shallow flow model combined with an equilibrium sediment transport model (KMR-MB: Kinematic Mesh Reconstruction for Movable Bed) is proposed. The KMR method is a kind of multilevel grid model with dynamic refinement that combines grid cells to efficiently capture the unsteady flow phenomena. Saito et al. (2012)1),2) have applied the KMR approach to open channel flows around a bridge pier and have shown the advantage of the model. They used the maximum value of the strain and rotation parameters for the threshold for quadtree and 3×3 grid divisions. We have extended the model for computations of morphological phenomena in rivers by incorporating an equilibrium sediment transport model as well as a bed continuity equation, and used new criteria for grid cell refinement. We used an average curvature of the bed surface as the criteria for refinement and combined quadtree-type grid cells. The present model has been applied to simulate the alternate bar formations. The experimental result by Akahori et al. (2011)3) was used to validate the model. The comparison between numerical and experimental results showed that the present KMR-MB can excellently simulate the phenomena with less CPU time than those computed with the fixed grid.

    Japanese, Semimountainous areas in Yamaguchi and Shimane Prefectures suffered severe damage brought by floods on July 2013. The damages in these areas were characterized by the vulnerability of their backlands that consists of agricultural lands. In order to investigate the mechanisms of land erosion on these areas where existing high-resolution data was not prepared, post-disaster RTK-GPS surveys and numerical simulations were conducted for Abu River in Yamaguchi. The surveys were aimed at providing the high-resolution topographic datasets of these regions in order to evaluate the influences of micro-topography on channel incisions by the flood flow. The results of the numerical calculations of movable bed-evolution well reproduced the process of the channel incisions on these areas, and it implies that the micro-topography is one of the most influential factors on erosion and channel formation processes on such semimountanious regions.

    Japanese, A numerical model for calculating the behavior of radioactive contaminant associated with the sediment transport in rivers has been proposed in this study. The equations for simulating the concentration of radioactive contaminant of the sediment has been derived from the governing equation of the sediment transport model. The proposed model has been applied to a simple river confluence to understand the mixing process of the sediment and the radioactive contaminant in the confluence point. The numerical results provide a useful data for discussing the relation between the bed evolution process and the behavior of radioactive contaminant. In addition, the model can contribute to estimate the origin of the sediment by using the relationship between the simulated sediment diameter and the concentration of the radioactive contaminant.

    Japanese, This paper presents a consideration of formation mechanism of tidal channel networks. We employed a simple mathematical model to explain the flow and bed evolution in intertidal zones. By assuming the regular periodic tidal wave and the simple bed geometry which has constant slope, we derived an advection - diffusion equation for the bed evolution. This equation has a Peclet type non dimensional number which expresses the ratio between advection and diffusion. We investigated this Peclet number in the experimental results conducted under the different hydraulic conditions. The results show that in the conditions with small Peclet number, which means that the diffusion effect is relatively strong, clear channel network can not develop on the bed surface. On the other hand, in large Peclet number conditions, clear and complicated channel network tends to develop.

  • A MORPHODYNAMIC MODEL BASED ON A SHALLOW FLOW MODEL AND AN EQUILIBRIUM BEDLOAD TRANSPORT MODEL FOR CALCULATING BED EVOLUTION IN RIVERS

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 69, 3, 123, 134, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2013
    Japanese, &nbsp;The performance and stability of a numerical model which consist of a shallow water flow model and an equilibrium bedload transport model for calculating bed evolution in rivers is discussed. Such system equations which are generally adopted for calculating reach-scale river bed evolution have a hyperbolic feature. This fact has implied that upwind schemes to the space derivative of bedload transport in Exner equation are useful numerical methods to avoid bed instabilities in calculating the propagation of a small disturbance. Whereas, a bed diffusion effect which is essentially included in bedload dominated bed evolution has been modelled in equilibrium bedload transport models by considering the local slope effect to the bedload transport. The relation between the numerical and physical diffusion effect to the bed evolution should be investigated to understand the performance and stability of the model. A hyperbolic differential equation controlling the bed evolution was derived from the linearized system equations to understand the numerical characteristic of the propagation of the bed disturbance. We defined a P&eacute;clet number, <i>P<sub>e</sub></i>, as the ratio between the advective effect which controls the propagation of the bed disturbance and the diffusive effect associated with the bed slope effect. The effect of physical diffusion of the bed exceeds the effect of numerical diffusion by the upwind scheme to the bedload transport in the condition which <i>P<sub>e</sub></i> < 2. The series of computations which focus on the propagation of hump type bed disturbance were conducted. The numerical results show that the calculation of propagating the bed disturbance can be physically stable without the upwind scheme when the grid size which satisfies <i>P<sub>e</sub></i> < 2 is used. The grid size which is required such physically stable computation depends on how the bed slope effect is modelled in the bedload transport model.
  • AN INFLUENCE OF MODELLING OF SECONDARY FLOWS TO SIMULATION OF FREE BARS IN RIVERS
    IWASAKI Toshiki; SHIMIZU Yasuyuki; KIMURA Ichiro
    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 69, 3, 147, 163, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2013
    Japanese, &nbsp;This paper investigates an influence of the modelling of secondary flows to the formation and development of free bars in rivers by comparing the results of the numerical simulation, the linear stability analysis and the experiments. Free bars which are developed by a physical instability phenomenon between turbulent flow and bed surface of rivers are one of fundamental river morphologies. Theoretical studies by the linear stability analysis have successfully shown that two dimensional morphodynamic models for calculating the river bed evolution can explain the formation of free bars. However, three dimensional flow structures, for instance, secondary flows caused by the meandering flows with increasing the bar height, have also important roles in the dynamics of free bars on a nonlinear level. Although quasi-three dimensional flow models can be a powerful tool to include the three dimensionalities of flows on the framework of two dimensional approaches, the applicability of such models to the dynamics of free bars has not been well verified yet. The results of the linear stability analysis suggested that the model of secondary flows which is assumed under the fully developed stage allows developing the bar with unrealistically high mode. This high mode bar tends to develop under the hydraulic conditions in which the effect of transverse slope for the sediment transport direction is relatively weak. Such instability can be physically suppressed by applying a model of secondary flows which includes the effect of development of secondary flows. The results of numerical simulation shows that proposed model which considers the development of the secondary flows can reasonably reproduce the incipient of free bars which is indicated from the linear stability analysis as well as the equilibrium bar waveheight in the experiments.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 30, 2, 11, 26, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 01 Nov. 2012
    English, This paper presents the fundamental studies on the bed degradation process of bedrock induced by the bedload transport over the bedrock. We performed the laboratory experiments focusing on the dependency of the grain size and the strength of bedrock for the erosion velocity of bedrocks. The experimental results show that the grain size and strength of bedrock can affect to the erosion velocity equation of bedrocks. In addition, the movement of the sediment particles over bedrock which has constant side inclining bed was measured to understand the direction of sediment over the bed. We also carried out the numerical simulation of bedrock erosion process by the sediment transport over bedrock to understand the performance of the model proposed by us. The comparison between laboratory experiment and numerical simulation shows that the proposed model overestimates the effect of local slope for sediment transport direction over the bedrocks.

    Japanese, The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States. After the flood in 1927, Mississippi River and Tributaries Project has carried out and changed the engineering policy. One of the biggest projects in MR&T project is the constriction of Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway. In 2011, May, Mississippi River had flooded dramatically and floodway had used which have not been used since 1937. By using floodway smoothly, explosion of levee had executed which was including in Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway operation measure. On our research, we evaluate the effect of the floodway and reproduce the flood by using numerical simulation. By our simulation, floodway has the effect to reduce the water level 1.5m~3m. We also simulate the characteristics of the floodway.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 68, 4, I_979, I_984, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2012
    Japanese, This study presents the numerical simulations of initiation and development process of tidal creek network by using two-dimensional morphodynamic model including the seepage flow model, and also discusses the effect of seepage flow for development of tidal creek network. A two dimensional shallow flow equation and two dimensional saturated seepage flow model based on Darcy law were combined to simulate flow field both on and in the bed. The numerical tests with and without seepage flow model were carried out to understand the effect of seepage flow for development of tidal creek in simplified conditions. The result shows that, by including seepage flow model, the channel network tend to become complex one, which has a lot of small scale channels. In addition, the channel width and depth increases by the very shallow flows induced by water supply from inside the bed. This indicates that the seepage flow from inside the bed can have dominant effect for morphodynamics on tidal areas, especially in case of subjecting the dry and wet condition in the bed surface.

    Japanese, It is important from the engineering point of view to predict the collapsing process of river embankment and behavior of overtop flow for reducing disaster during flood. We performed some considerations on refinement of a two-dimensional computational model based on shallow flow equations to predict more accurately the front overflow levee breach phenomena. We tried to introduce a levee erosion model instead of sediment transport model to evaluate the deformation of the levee. In addition, intermittent behavior of the bank collapse is modeled. A calibration of the numerical model is made through the comparison with field experimental data. Recently, a real-scale experiment on a front levee breach was carried out at the Chiyoda Experimental Channel in Hokkaido, Japan. We performed the computation under the same conditions in the experiment. The computational results showed that the present refined model can predict fundamental aspects of the front levee breach phenomena. breach phenomena.

    Japanese, The complex channel networks have dominant roles for flow, sediment and nutrient transport on salt marshes and tidal flats, and therefore provide rich habitat structures. This study discusses the fundamental geometric properties of tidal channel network by statistical analysis to their channel length and planimetric shapes. We employed channel networks which delineated from experimental and numerical result and also satellite image of real field. It is found that the probability density distribution of channel length can be described by a lognormal distribution, and network in experimental and real scale have similar properties for channel length. The results also indicate that the difference of tidal conditions change the characteristics of tidal channel network configuration.

    Japanese, The urbanization in Sapporo was started about only 140 years ago. Before the urbanization, the topography of most part of Sapporo was wetland and not suitable for living and cultivation. Intensive river training works have changed this area dramatically for relatively short period, and made Sapporo as one of the biggest cities in Japan with a population of 1.9 million. In this study, the history of river training works and the transition of inundation characteristics in Sapporo are investigated through old literatures and numerical simulations. First, the historical process of river training constructions was clarified by inspecting old documents and found out some key works. Then numerical simulations of flood were performed in three cases, namely, original topography, after construction of Toyohira-River- Bank and after construction of new Toyohira River Channel. The comparison of simulation results elucidated the relation between river training works and change of inundation behavior.

    Japanese, This paper presents the laboratory tests on developing process of tidal creek network in the small flume and also validation of numerical model which can replicate the morphodynamic evolution of tidal channel and its geomorphic features. The experimental conditions fully satisfied the kinematic, dynamic and sediment transport similarities between the real and experimental scale. The channel network, which has the similar channel characteristics such as ratio between the channel width and depth observed in real field, was reproduced in the experimental flume. This study also conducted the numerical simulations with experimental conditions for validating the physically-based two-dimensional morphodynamic model. The results showed that the proposed morphodynamic model can simulate reasonably the geometry of channel network and its developing process observed in the experiment.

In addition, many buildings, urban facilities, lifelines, etc. are seriously damaged. Detailed mechanism of a levee breach has not been clarified yet. Therefore, it is important to predict the collapsing process of riverbank and behavior of overtop flow for reducing damage. We applied a two-dimensional shallow flow computational model to levee breach phenomena caused by overflow and the performance of the model was elucidated. A calibration of the numerical model is made through the comparison with field experimental data. Recently, a real-scale experiment on a levee breach was carried out at the Chiyoda Experimental Channel in Hokkaido, Japan. We performed the computation under the same conditions in the experiment. The computational results showed the excellent performance for simulating levee breach phenomena.

    Japanese, The bed degradation is going rapidly in the upper part of the Ishikari River recently, owing to exposed bedrock erosion caused by bedload on the bedrock. In order to estimate the erosion rate of bedrock, we performed an experiment by a circular channel flume with artificial bedrock made of plaster. We applied the erosion rate estimated by the present experiment to a numerical simulation of bed deformation on the bedrock by using horizontal 2D flow model and the bedload layer model. The result of the simulation shows that gut pattern appeared in the simulated results which is very similar to the experimental result. It was found that the bed degradation was progressed by the erosion caused by sediment transport itself.

    This study aims to develop a physically-based morphodynamic model in order to reproduce incision of tidal creek networks as well as evolution of geomorphology in the tidal environments. The process of incision and long-term geomorphologic evolution on tidal flats and marsh is of practical significance from the environmental view point. Generally, it is postulated that tidal creeks are developed as a result of ecomorphologic processes of tidal system driven by tidal energy. Some previous investigations have provided significant insight to this problem. However, there is still lack of a physically-based modeling approach that can replicate the initiation and evolution process of this phenomenon. In this study, physically-based model was applied to a narrow area referred to as tidal flats in order to provide quantitative and qualitative evaluation of its reproducibility. Calculation was conducted for different time scale up to 350 days. Calculation results revealed that the incision of tidal network and its initial development process can satisfactorily be reproduced by a physically-based computational model.

    Japanese, In this paper, eco-morphological model is proposed to simulate morphology at tidal environment with vegetation growth. Two numerical experiments such as vegetated scenario and unvegetated scenario were performed to clarify influence of vegetation on morphological evolution. This model was applied to a square tidal flat and calculations were conducted for 350 days. Computational results show that a complicated channel network is formed on tidal marsh and natural levees were appeared around the channel network in both cases. In addition, the vegetation propagated along the natural levees. In vegetated scenario, sediment deposition was enhanced by effect of vegetation on natural levee in comparsion with unvegetated scenario. Therefore, these results indicated that tidal channels are formed more clearly due to vegetation.

    北海道十勝川水系ペケレベツ川を対象とし,d4PDF降雨データを力学的ダウンスケーリングした詳細降雨分布計算結果に対して流出計算を実施し整理されている多数の年最大イベントのハイドログラフ群をk-shapeクラスタリングによって分類し,特徴的なハイドログラフ形状について検討した.その結果,ハイドログラフは大まかに最大ピーク前後に第2のピークを持つかか,また最大ピークと第二ピーク間の時間が離れているか,で5つに分類できることを示した.同様の解析をより規模の大きな河川である同水系の音更川へ適用したところ,概ね同様の波形特性で分類できることを確認したが,音更川のほうが流量波形のばらつきがより大きく,流域規模によって流量の不確実性は異なることが示唆された.


    このように分類されたハイドログラフがどのような河床変動を引き起こすかについて,iRIC-Nays2DHによる計算を実施した.平成28年9月豪雨時の流量と同一のピーク流量を有するハイドログラフを各クラスターより抽出し,これらを上流端境界条件とした河床変動計算を実施することで,河床・河岸侵食に及ぼす流量波形の影響について定量的に評価した.その結果,流量波形に応じて河岸侵食量に違いがあり,特に最大ピークよりも前に第二ピークがあるハイドログラフでは,前半のピークによって河岸侵食が進行することで河道内に土砂堆積を引き起こすため,最大ピーク時にはその河床上昇によって流路が変動しやすく,側岸侵食が大きくなりえることが明らかとなった.


    上記のような河床変動に及ぼす外的不確実性影響とは別に,流砂モデルが持つ内的不確実性の影響を評価するために,蛇行流路における混合砂河床を対象とした室内実験結果に対して,流砂モデルや遮蔽効果,また代表粒径の取り方などを変化させた河床変動計算を行い,再現性に対する各種流砂モデル要素が及ぼす影響について検討した.

    今後予期される気候変動を踏まえた河道の脆弱性を評価するために,北海道を対象とした大量サンサンブル降雨―流出計算データを解析し,移動床計算に重要と考えられるハイドログラフパターンについて,K-shapeクラスタリング手法により検討した.これにより,数百という多数の流量データから,重要と考えられる十数の流量ハイドログラフのパターンとして特徴化することが可能となった.クラスタリングから得られた代表ハイドログラフを移動床計算の境界条件として用い,河床-河岸侵食に関しても起こりうる可能性をより網羅的な外力条件から評価可能な手法について開発できた.
    上記,短期的河道脆弱性評価に使用可能な1洪水データに加えて,より中長期的な河道脆弱性を検討するために,アンサンブルメンバーごとの連続流量ハイドログラフを確率水文統計し,長期的に起こりうる条件をより網羅的に検討した.急流河川を対象とした移動床計算の結果,現在気候条件においては平均的な外力条件において,比較的堤防内で流路変動が収まる状態であっても,気候変動後の条件においては,最小流量シナリオにおいても,堤防が高い割合で流路変動に伴う侵食の影響を受けることを明らかにした.
    昨年度検討した給砂条件の影響について,代表的な沖積河道地形の一つである交互砂州へ与える影響を二次元移動床計算から検討した.その結果,給砂条件の違いが下流に与える影響は比較的給砂条件を変化させた境界付近に強く表れる一方で,その領域より下流に形成される交互砂州へ与える影響は小さいことが明らかとなった.
    高精度で安定的な移動床計算を実現するための計算スキームとして,近似リーマン解法の一つであるHLL系のスキームを浅水流モデルと河床変動モデルを合わせたシステム方程式に適用したモデルを構築し,自由砂州の実験結果と比較することでその精度について検証した.

    令和元年東日本台風(台風19号)とその2週間後の大雨(台風21号と低気圧)による広域災害の被害状況・メカニズムの全容を明らかにすることを目的とし,多角的・総合的に多くの分野の専門家からなる研究グループを結成し,調査研究を継続して行った.ここでは,①台風・低気圧による豪雨・流出現象の気象学的解明,②広域にわたる洪水氾濫災害を引き起こしたメカニズムの解明,③多発した土砂災害・土構造物破壊におけるメカニズムの解明,④強風や高潮による被害実態の解明,⑤住民の避難行動の実態と防災情報の伝達状況の把握,の5つのテーマと主に対象とした.その結果,台風19号による豪雨に,山岳部は勿論,平野部でもseeder-feeder機構が貢献していることを,XRAINによる立体観測情報,ひまわりによる観測情報により,seeder-feeder機構を表現した数値モデルを用いて示した.2019年台風19号による豪雨発生機構について,気象庁メソ客観解析データを用いて,降水活動に係る大気安定度や水蒸気場の解析をし,本豪雨発生時には,最近の他の豪雨事例と比較して,湿潤絶対不安定が持続して形成されていたことが分かった.また,洪水氾濫による建築被害に関しては,長野市内の水害被害住宅を対象に,復旧後の室内環境に着目して現地調査を実施している.復旧には数ヶ月の期間を要するが,復旧手順は現地の判断で実施している場合が多く,客観的な情報が整備されていない.その一助となるべく,限られた事例ではあるが,復旧手順とともにそれに伴う環境改善効果を評価しながら知見を蓄積し,環境改善を測るために室内の浮遊真菌濃度や部位の含水率等を計測した.さらに,風水害に関しては,台風に伴って発生した竜巻の影響が大きかったため,台風と竜巻発生の関係を過去の気象資料から抽出し整理した.

    Recent field observation revealed that there are abundant “cyclic steps” (CS) formed by turbidity currents (TC) in the submarine channels and their vicinity. Here we did the first experiments on the formation of CS due to the “surge-type” TCs, and showed that the “surge-type” TCs can form CS easier compare with the continuous TC which has equivalent unit-time discharge. Experimental TCs, which is mixture of plastic particles and salt water, were released to the 7-m-long flume at Osaka Institute of Technology, with the surge durations 3, 5, 7 seconds. 130-140 surges were released into the flume for each case, and 5-6 CS were formed.
    Based on these experimental results, analytical analysis and numerical simulation were performed. In addition, we applied the experimental results to rock records. We made a depositional model for the sediment waves observed in turbidites in the Miyazaki Group, Kyusyu, Japan, based on the extensive long-distance drawing of the sedimentary structures.

    [1]水路網の形成・発達に及ぼす主要因を抽出する目的で,潮汐周期,振幅,領域長などのパラメータを変化させた異なる水理条件下における実験を行い,水路網形成に対する水理パラメータ依存性について検討した.水路網の形成・発達を定性的に評価することで,その形成過程に関する考察を行うと共に,Horton則による水路網形状定量化手法により,水路数といった水路網の形状特性に関する検討を行った.得られた結論を以下に列挙する.1)潮汐による流れが強いほど,水路網が形成されづらい一方,相対的に流れが弱い場合は細かな水路が発達し,一水路網が複雑となることが示唆された.2)水路化には侵食と堆積の両方が重要であるが,両者の物理メカニズムは異なる可能性がある.3)位数1の水路の確率密度分布形状より,位数1の水路の長さスケールは潮汐周期が長くなるほど小さくなる傾向にある.また,時間の経過と共に確率密度分布はその形状を変化させる.
    [2]異なる水理条件の下で実施された室内実験により得られる水路網形状の相違を生み出す要因について簡易的な数学モデルを用いて考察を行った.一定勾配である単純地形及び規則的な潮汐を想定し,この条件における流れ一地形変動を簡易に表現可能な数学的モデルを構築した,このモデルから地形変動を表す方程式が移流拡散型の方程式を導出し,この方程式から導出される移流拡散度合いの比を表すパラメータ,ペクレ数を定義した.このペクレ数を各実験ケースで求めて結果と比較し,以下の結論を得た.1)岸沖方向のペクレ数が大きい場合,水路が直線する一方,小さい実験では水路が蛇行する傾向が見られた.2)横断方向の移流拡散の度合いを表すパラメータが小さい領域では,水路網が形成されず,大きい領域では複雑な水路網が形成される傾向がある.これは,横断方向の拡散の影響が強い場合,不安定な成分である水路が拡散するためと考えられる.
