Sediment Transport in Hyperconcentrated Flows in Sand-Bed Streams
This study advances the understanding of sediment transport of bed material discharge in sand bed streams through application of recently developed theoretical concepts related to the...
Sediment?Hyperconcentration Flow and Its Similarity Laws
The sediment- hyperconcentration flow are studied theoretically and experimentally, and the formulas for the Bingham shear stress, rigidity coefficient, fall velocity and transport capacity...
The Relationship of Milligrams Per Liter to Parts Per Million
Derivations of the relationships between mg/l and ppm are presented. Although forms of these relationships can be found in scattered references, the author's intent is to...
Sediment Transport Due to Turbidity Currents
The processes of sediment transport in a horizontal channel due to low-Reynolds-number turbidity currents are evaluated. A multiple-layer numerical model was developed to predict the flow...
The Effects of Velocity on Scour
Four effects of 'velocity' on scour are discussed: clear-water scour, scour by light sediment-transporting flow, mode of movement, and kinetic terms included...
Prediction of Time Development of Local Scour
The prediction of the time development of local scour is commonly solved by means of model tests. A brief description of the time-scale and the relation between the time and the scour...
The Area of Scour Hole Around Bridge Piers
The study is focused on what parameters determine the area of scour hole around bridge piers. An analytical study based on momentum principle has been used to reveal the variables involved...
A Coastal Hard Rock Sediment Budget for the Inner Bristol Channel
The dominant input into the inter-tidal zone from the hard rocks bordering the inner Bristol Channel is clastic material. This is derived from coastal recession as a result of subaerial...
Field Measurement of Topography at a River Mouth
The authors have been measuring topography and cross section at the river mouth of the Nanakita River, in Japan. Changes of short-time scale, such as straightening of the river channel...
Suspended Sediment Regression Model on Mud Coasts
Two statistical models of the concentration of suspended sediment on mud coasts have been developed by using the stepwise regression method. The statistical analysis in this paper is based...
Suspended Sediment Model of Offshore Tin Mining
The three dimensional dispersion equation is integrated vertically to use in describing the suspension of silt from offshore tin mining. The resulting two dimensional equation includes...
Flow Modeling in the Toutle River, Washington
In support of flow, suspended load, bed load, and bedform transport measurements, a quasi-three-dimensional river flow model was adapted to a reach extending from 260m upstream to 30m...
Limitations of Modeling High Concentration Streams
Following the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, high sediment concentrations caused rapid deposition and increased flood hazards along the Cowlitz River. The Corps of Engineers developed...
Mechanics of Mud Flows in Curved Channels with Uneven Beds
Most natural debris flows move through paths that are curved and that have significant bed topography. Owing to the dependence of the mechanics of wet debris containing substantial amounts...
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...
Relationship Between Channel Migration and Radius of Curvature on the Red River
The system behavior of meanders was investigated on the Red River between Shreveport, LA, and Index, AR. The effects of plan form geometry (r/w) and erodibility of bank material on the...
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...
