If the sediment transport behaves as bed-load, the sediment surface at meandering channel will deform into transverse waves. This investigation isa new model for prediction of river-meander models in nature. The aim ofthis research is to give a precise method whose bed forms can have a variety of scales ranging from ripples through small dunes to fully developeddunes or sandwaves. Its mathematical model will be investigated.

This paper discusses an undergraduate fluid mechanics laboratory session. The lab allows the students to observe various sediment transport phenomena in a hands-on manner. The experiments are performed in a glass-walled, tilting sediment flume. The following sediment transport phenomena are created and observed by the students — bed load, suspended load, bed forms (ripples, dunes, antidunes...), surface waves over various bed forms and local scour at flow obstructions including bridge piers and abutments. Students are able to observe local scour using PVC pipes for bridge piers and dimension lumber for abutment scour. Since the flume is 12.2-m long, a large group of students can spread out along both sides of the flume to observe bed forms and to perform local scour tests.

A study has been carried out with the objectives of describing the effect of sediment deposits on the hydraulic capacity of sewer systems and to investigate the sediment transport in sewer systems. A result of the study is a mathematical model MOUSE ST which describes sediment transport in sewers. This paper discusses the applicability and the limitations of various modelling approaches and sediment transport formulations in MOUSE ST. Further, the paper presents a simple application of MOUSE ST to the Rya catchment in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Systematic measurements of sediment transport rates and water discharge were conducted in the Nestos River (Greece), at a place located between the outlet of Nestos River basin and the river delta. This basin area is about 838 km2 and lies downstream of the Platanovrysi Dam. Separate measurements of bed load transport and suspended load transport were performed at certain cross sections of the Nestos River. In this study, relationships between sediment transport rates and stream discharge for the Nestos River are presented. A nonlinear regression curve (4th degree polynomial curve; r2 equals 0.62) between bed load transport rates and stream discharge, on the basis of 63 measurements, was developed. In addition, a nonlinear regression curve (5th degree polynomial curve; r2 equals 0.95) between suspended load transport rates and stream discharge, on the basis of 65 measurements, was developed. The relatively high r2 values indicate that both bed load transport rates and, especially, suspended load transport rates can be predicted as a function of the stream discharge in the Nestos River. However, the reliability of the regression equations would have been higher if more measured data were available.

Research on Aepodu Weir Sediment Transport Analysis in South Konawe District, based on observations in the field, Aepodu Weir hasa sediment buildup that has now exceeded the height of the weirlight house. The purpose of the study was to analyze the magnitudeof Aepodu river flow and to analyze the amount of sedimenttransport that occurred in the Aepodu dam. The method used todetermine the amount of bed load transport uses stchoklitscht, whilefor transporting suspended load using forcheimer.The results of the analysis of the average flow of the Aepodu riverwere 3,604 m3/ second. Sediment transport that occurs in Aepoduweir is Bedload transport (Qb) of 291625.771 tons / year, andsuspended load transport (Qs) of 16972,423 tons / year, so that thetotal sediment transport (QT) is 308598,194 tons / year.

<p>The development of morphodynamic models to simulate sediment transport accurately is a challenging and highly complex process given the non-linear and coupled nature of the sediment transport problem. We implement a new depth-averaged coupled hydrodynamic and sediment transport model within the coastal ocean model Thetis, built using the code generating framework Firedrake which facilitates code flexibility and optimisation benefits. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first full morphodynamic model using a discontinuous Galerkin based finite element discretisation, to include both bedload and suspended sediment transport. We apply our model to problems with non-cohesive sediment and account for effects of gravity and helical flow by adding slope gradient terms and parametrising secondary currents. For validation purposes and to demonstrate model capability, we present results from the common test cases of a migrating trench and a meandering channel comparing against experimental data and the widely used model Telemac-Mascaret.</p><p>There is a high degree of uncertainty associated with morphodynamic models, in part due to incomplete knowledge of various physical, empirical and numerical closure related parameters in both the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic solvers. We therefore also present examples of how an adjoint model can be used to calibrate or invert for the values of these parameters from either experimental results or real-world erosion profiles.</p>
