Numerical Modeling of a Trench Fill and Scour

by Jianping Yue, Memphis State Univ, Memphis, United States,
Jerry L. Anderson, Memphis State Univ, Memphis, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Hydraulic Engineering

Abstract:

The sediment fill and scour in a dredged trench was numerically simulated by the nodal-collocation finite element method and an explicit scheme. The one-dimensional unsteady sediment-laden flow equations and non-equilibrium sediment transport formulas were used. The numerical results were compared with the measurements of a flume experiment.
