3 1. Introduction The work present work concentrates on description of some basic parameters and features of the mountainous streams which are responsible for morphodynamical changes in a their chosen cross sections. The paper deals firstly with description of the parameters of sediment motion in stream and the critical conditions of motion basically with the incipient of the motion of sediment, next is describing some features from the mountainous gravel river bed which one can find in the field and finally the paper is showing a possibility of modeling the mentioned phenomena using the case study results from one of Polish mountain rivers.

19 Mountain streams bedload incipient motion and bedload transport outlook 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 m deep. This gives possibility to describe bed change processes which can be expected in treated river. Sample freezing method Fot. A. Michalik

The grains are measured and drilled. After this the radioactive tracer is injected. Movement initiation of every categorized grain from the detector is noticed. Fot. L. Książek

30 4. Modeling of fluvial processes Mathematical model of the physical object, for example a reach of the river is a mathematical abstraction which combines: initial conditions, influence of the exterior parameters and the reaction for that influence. Mathematical models are the simplification of real objects. In real cases the model is a compromise between cost of designing process of the model, collecting sufficient amount of parameters which characterize the object and accurance of results. Uselly the most important criterion is the purpose of simulations.

31 FORECASTING OF FLUVIAL PROCESSES ON THE SKAWA RIVER WITHIN BACK-WATER REACH OF THE SWINNA POREBA WATER RESERVOIR The aim of the project - to study sediment transport and related fluvial processes (armouring, agradation, erosion) within the backwater reach of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir Which means: to better understand the impact of dams on the river environment and river habitat and to develop numerical methods that can predict their long term effects on the river morphology with regards to water reservoir operation and dam safety during the passage of floods Fot. L. Książek

32 The project is important for National Water Management and local communities because: 1. There are several cities and villages within the back-water reach of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir and we are obliged to provide safety passage of floods along that area 2. It is important to predict the changes of fluvial processes in the Skawa river before and after constriction of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir. Those processes having place not only in the Skawa catchment but also in all tributaries watersheds to the Skawa (the Paleczka, the Tarnawka, the Stryszawka streams) 3. An instruction of exploitation of the water reservoir Swinna Poreba could be prepared 4. Prediction of places were erosion and depositions would take place under back-water effect is important for river and riprarian habitats, deposition of some chemical components (eg. heavy metals) and invertebrates - whole river ecology

41 Numerical modeling CCHE2D is a state-of-the-art two-dimensional, depthaveraged, unsteady, turbulent river flow, sediment transport, and water quality evaluation model.

42 Mathematical model - Governing Equations The model solves the momentum equations Free surface elevation for the flow is calculated by the depth-integrated continuity equation: Because many open channel flows are shallow water problems, the effect of vertical motion is usually of insignificant magnitude. The depth integrated 2D equations are generally accepted for studying the open channel hydraulics with resonable accuracy. The CCHE2D model uses the Efficient Element Method (special finite element method) to discretize the 2D depth averaged shallow water flow equations. Continuity equation of bedload, bed changes - mass balance equation

71 4. Conclusions The CCHE2D model allowed to predict in detailes morphological changes along the reach of the Skawa River which is under influence of the back-water curve of the Swinna Poreba water reservoir, Back-water curve of the water reservoir Swinna Poreba influences the initial conditions of bedload transport by reducing the value of shear stresses and because of that strong deposition takes place, The results of simulations the sediment transport quantity and armouring layer formation using the software developed at the Agricultural University of Krakow are comparable with results obtained from numerical modeling with CCHE2D,

72 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The project FORECASTING OF FLUVIAL PROCESSES ON THE SKAWA RIVER WITHIN BACK-WATER REACH OF THE SWINNA POREBA WATER RESERVOIR is a result of research sponsored by the US State Department Agency for International Development under Agreement No. EE-G and The University of Mississippi, which was technically supported by National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCHE).
