in this paper, two formulas were chosen among those that estimate the suspendedsediment discharge in rivers. these two formulas were lane and kalinske and bagnold. forstudying and knowing the correlation between input parameters and calculated suspendedsediment discharge (cssd), the spss17 software was used. input parameters in these twoformulas were as: water velocity, water discharge, suspend...

Flood flows in inundated urban environment constitute a natural hazard. During the 1213 January 2011 flood of the Brisbane River, detailed water elevation, velocity and suspended sediment data were recorded in an inundated street at the peak of the flood. The field observations highlighted a number of unusual flow interactions with the urban surroundings. These included some slow fluctuations i...

This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydroand morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an emphasis on the effects of oceanic forcing and beach characteristics on sediment transport in the crossand longshore directions, as well as on f...

A three-dimensional water quality model was developed for simulating temporal and spatial variations of phytoplankton, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen in freshwater bodies. Effects of suspended and bed sediment on the water quality processes were simulated. A formula was generated from field measurements to calculate the light attenuation coefficient by considering the effects of suspended sedi...

abstract settling basins are essential hydraulic structures which have to be designed and constructed at all river water intakes to remove most of suspended sediments which enters the intake by flowing water. there have been many techniques for designing these structures. to simplifying the design procedure, some of these techniques have been applied many assumption and some others are so compl...

abstract nowadays, measuring water quality is very important for comprehensive management of water resources. suspended sediment is one of the most important water quality factors which greatly affects environment health. however, its measurement needs too much time and money. it was therefore tried in the present study to assess the applicability of modelling relationship between suspended sed...

Even though soil loss in the lowlands imposes not as much a restriction on land use and agricultural productivity as in erosion affected mountainous areas, the input of fine sediment into the rivers and streams is a concern due to water quality issues and substrate siltation. Drains, river banks and agricultural fields are the three main sources of fine sediment in lowland regions. For a succes...

The one-dimensional (vertical) sediment-transport model SEDTRANS96 has been upgraded to predict more accurately both cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport. Sedtrans05 computes the bed shear stress for a given set of flow and seabed conditions using combined wave-current bottom boundary layer theory. Sediment transport (bedload and total load) is evaluated using one of five methods. The m...
