Selective Erosion: A Key Problem in Numerical Modelling of River-bed Changes
In capacity-controlled sediment transport of alluvial rivers the so-called 'hiding factor' determines the stability of the various grain-size fractions. The paper...
The Computation of Total Sediment Transport in View of Changed Input Parameters
The sediment transport phenomenon is one of the most difficult fields in water research. Due to the numerous parameters and various interactions among them several theoretical-empirical...
Simulating Long-Term Sedimentation Trends on the Lower Mississippi River
A one-dimensional numerical model was used to determine long-term aggradation and degradation trends in the lower Mississippi River. Geometry in the model came from hydrographic surveys....
On the Selection of Sediment Transport Equations
Certain aspects of the selection of equations to use in the calculation of sediment transport in streams are examined in this paper. The use of a critical discharge is examined and problems...
Convolution-Integral Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Sediment Transport
In transient process of sediment transport due to unsteady or/and nonuniform flow or discontinuity of boundary condition, non-equilibrium process appears and it sometimes plays an important...
Two Dimensional Nonequilibrium Transport of Nonuniform Sediment
Mathematical models based on diffusion and/or diffusion convection equations have been widely applied to study sediment transport in suspension. Some of the studies were reported by C.C....
Stream Bank Erosion and Bed Evolution Model
The graded sediment routing and stream bed evolution model of D.K. Borah, C.V. Alonso and S.N. Prasad is expanded by combining with a riverbank erosion model developed by Osman and Thorne....
Sediment Transport Modeling Considerations
In addition to understanding the theory and concepts of mathematical modeling, the engineer or scientist must also have knowledge of the river to be studied, the available data, and the...
Background and Applications of Fluvial-12
The computer program FLUVIAL-12 is formulated and developed for water and sediment routing in alluvial channels. The combined effects of flow hydraulics, sediment transport and river channel...
On Sediment Transport Modeling
Basic elements of a comprehensive water-sediment model are hydraulic, sediment, and morphologic computations. The stream tube approach and minimum energy dissipation rate theories are...
STUDH: A Two-Dimensional Numerical Model for Sediment Transport
TABS-2 water level and flow computations are performed by the generalized numerical model program RMA-2V; salinity and tracer transport computations are performed with RMA-4, and sediment...
Field Data Collection and Analysis of Hyperconcentrations and Mud Flows
Hyperconcentrated flows and mud flows exhibit properties quite dissimilar from Newtonian fluids. In order to further our understanding of such phenomena, field data have been collected...
Settling Basin Model for the Personal Computer
The SETSIZE program, models sediment deposition in a settling basin. The program can be applied to determine the length of time until dredging or cleaning is necessary or solve for an...
Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport Modeling on Small Tropical Watersheds
A fundamentally-based concept of a soil erosion and sediment transport model in a forest tropical area is presented. It will be incorporated to the ANSWERS model. The forest hydrology...
A Watershed Model of Sediment Transport?Load-I
A watershed sediment transport model has been formulated and optimized upon storm hydrographs and the associated sediment load data for several watersheds that have been urbanized and...
Estimation of the Effect of Land Use Changes on Storm-Event Sediment Yield from a Small Watershed
The influence of partial deforestation in a small lowland watershed in the center of Poland on storm-event sediment yield is analysed. Rainfall-runoff model has been applied to estimate...
Calibration of a Movable Bed River Model
This paper discusses the calibration procedures used for a model study of three miles (5km) of the Arkansas River. A hydro-power station will be added to an existing Corps of Engineers...
Bed Topography and Sorting in Alluvial Channel Bends
A quasi-three-dimensional model has been developed for the purpose of calculating the velocity distribution, the bed topography and sediment sorting along channel bends. The depth-averaged...
A Computer Model for Gravel Pit Headcut Simulation
Sand and gravel mining activities have led to numerous problems in river management. A review of many complaints on sand and gravel mining indicates that the major concern is structural...
Infiltration of Water to the Ground in a Flood-Control Reservoir with Seepage
As storm water management in urban area with increasing amount of runoff, flood-control reservoir with the bed having large permeability to enrich the groundwater is considered. A dynamical...
