In recent years, installation of plates in canal beds have been considered for sedimentation control and bed load reduction at canal intake. These planes, called submerged vanes, are different in dimensions. They are installed at intakes in-group with reasonable distance from each other. Presence of these vanes at intakes initiate transverse shear stress on river bed and causes sediment transpo...

At the smallest scales of sediment transport in rivers, the coherent structures of the turbulent boundary layer constitute the fundamental mechanisms of bedload transport, locally increasing the instantaneous hydrodynamic forces acting on sediment particles, and mobilizing them downstream. Near the critical threshold for initiating sediment motion, the interactions of the particles with these u...

Appropriate descriptions of turbulence are important in predicting sediment transport and seabed evolution. We use here a three-dimensional model to investigate the impacts of sediment-induced stratification, erosion parameterization, and turbulence closures on sediment transport and morphological simulations. The model is implemented in the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Coastal Ocean Model...

hydrodynamics and sediment transport model used to determine the longand short-term stability of dredged material mounds. This technical note (TN) introduces a new cohesive sediment transport submodel for LTFATE, which includes a combined current-wave shear stress calculation and a layered sediment bed model. LTFATE can be accessed via the Internet at the following address: http://www.wes.army....

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in reservoirs, especially for sudden events such as flushing, is still a challenging research topic. In the present study, sediment transport and sediment flushing are simulated for a Peruvian reservoir. Situated in the Peruvian Andes, the watershed is affected by high erosion rates and the river carries high amounts of suspended sediment whose estimated...

[1] Data on channel geometry in naturally incising bedrock rivers reveal variable relationships between channel width, slope, and erosion rate. To explain the range of relationships between these parameters, we propose an optimized channel geometry model. The model reproduces previous theoretical and numerical modeling scaling relationships; however, to explain the field data, the model must in...

In this paper, we present a dynamic diagenetic model of the oxygen consumption pathways and cycling of carbon, nitrogen, manganese, iron, and sulfur in marine sediments. Sixteen dissolved or solid species are included in our model and the vertical transport processes accounted for are molecular diffusion, bioturbation, irrigation, and burial. Adsorption of dissolved species onto solid sediment ...

Several methods of monitoring sediment transport exist and have varying degrees of success depending on the study sites characteristics. Grain Size Trend Analysis (GSTA) is an experimental method based on identifying transport trends from the variation of sediment grain characteristics within a defined study area. The parameters examined when performing GSTA are mean grain size, sorting coeffic...
