Increased knowledge of the processes which govern the transport of solids in sewers is necessary in order to develop more reliable and applicable sediment transport models for sewer systems. Proper validation of these are essential. For that purpose thorough field measurements are imperative. This paper renders initial results obtained in an ongoing case study of a Danish combined sewer system in Frejlev, a small town southwest of Aalborg, Denmark. Field data are presented concerning estimation of the sediment transport during dry weather. Finally, considerations on how to approach numerical modelling is made based on numerical simulations using MOUSE TRAP (DHI 1993).

Predictions from 13 bed-material load sediment transport models are compared with 19 measurements of bed-material transport in Nottawasaga River, Ontario, using summary plots and geometric statistics. Model selection is based on recent engineering application and suitability for the flow and sediment conditions of the river. The models of Laursen (1958) and Yang (1979) perform best, followed by those of Ackers and White (1973). The models of Van Rijn (1984), Maddock (1976), Karim and Kennedy (1983), Brownlie (1981), and Yang (1973) have considerable data scatter. The models of Engelund and Hansen (1967) and Shen and Hung (1972) are the poorest predictors. Poor model performance is primarily due to overestimation of flow strength needed for particle entrainment and an excessively steep slope in the relations between flow strength and sediment transport. Key words: bed-material load transport models, test, Nottawasaga River.

AbstractThis contribution is a remake of the one published under the same title by Reynolds (Nord. Hydrol., vol. 7, 1976, pp. 161–183). As in that paper, attention is given to the latest developments in the field of river morphodynamics and, in particular, on the formation of bed patterns. Stimulated by the work by Kidanemariam and Uhlmann (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 750, 2014, R2) the opportunity is taken to examine the most recent developments in terms of sediment transport models.
