Flow patterns and sediment deposition in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Classification of flow patterns in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of flow field in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Flow field in shallow waters, which is characterized by its complex mixing process and inherent dynamic nature, is interesting mainly due to its practical importance (e. g. in free flushing operation and sedimentation in large reservoirs). 3D numerical models make it possible to track two-dimensional large turbulence coherent structures, which are the dominant phenomenon in shallow reservoirs f...

Comparison of Sediment Load Models in Predicting Sediment Deposition Patterns

Experiments on sediment deposition by overland flow

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of sediment concentration, slope and discharge on sediment deposition rates and patterns associated with a reduction in bed slope. Analysis of the data shows that up to a certain unit discharge a simple settling equation without a transport term gives a good prediction of the sediment delivery ratio and the grain-size distribution of the depo...
