Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, the theory of three dimensional numerical modeling of transport and re-suspension of fine sediments is studied and a computer program is develped for simulation of the three dimensional suspended sediment transport. The computer program solves the three dimensional advection-diffusion equation simultaneously with a computer program prepared earlier for the simulation of three dimensional current systems. This computer program computes the velocity vectors, eddy viscosities and water surface elavations which are used as inputs by the program of fine sediment transport. The model is applied to Bay of Izmir for different wind conditions.

Book excerpt: Research on reservoir sedimentation in recent years has been aimed mainly at water resources projects in developing countries. These countries, especially in Africa, often have to cope with long droughts, flash floods and severe erosion problems. Large reservoir capacities are required to capture water provided by flash floods so as to ensure the supply of water in periods of drought. The problem arising however is that these floods, due to their tremendous stream power, carry enormous volumes of sediment which, due to the size of reservoirs, are virtually deposited in toto in the reservoir basin, leading to fast deterioration of a costly investment. Accurate forecasting of reservoir behaviour is therefore of the utmost importance.This book fills a gap in current literature by providing in one volume comprehensive coverage of techniques required to practically investigate the effects sediment deposition in reservoirs has on the viability of water resources projects. Current techniques for practically estimating sediment yield from catchments, estimating the volume of sediment expected to deposit in reservoirs, predicting sediment distribution and calculating scour downstream of reservoirs are evaluated and presented. The liberal use of diagrams and graphs to explain the various techniques enhances understanding and makes practical application simple. A major feature of the book is the application of stream power theory to explain the process of reservoir sedimentation and to develop four new methods for predicting sediment distribution in reservoirs.The book is primarily directed at practising engineers involved in the planning and design of water resources projects and at post-graduate students interested in this field of study.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport of sediments creates a variety of environmental impacts because it not only induces erosion and deposition problems, but also transfers contaminants or viruses adhered or coupled with the sediments. A better understanding of the fundamental sediment transport processes is significant for environmental researchers to provide practical and scientifically sound solutions to hydraulic engineering problems. Stochastic characteristics of sediment transport have been identified from experiment data. The trajectory of a sediment particle is stochastic due to the probabilistic nature of the flow and sediment conditions. The main goal of the study is to develop a stochastic model governing suspended sediment transport. In this research, several issues related to stochastic modelling of suspended sediment transport are discussed: the numerical scheme for the Fokker-Planck equation; suspended sediment transport in regular surface flows; and suspended sediment transport in extreme flow environments. A fourth-order accurate numerical scheme has been developed for the two-dimensional advection-diffusion (A-D) equation in a staggered-grid system. The first-order spatial derivatives are approximated by the fourth-order accurate finite-difference scheme, thus all truncation errors are kept to a smaller order of magnitude than those of the diffusion terms. For the time derivative, the fourth-order accurate Adams-Bashforth predictor-corrector method is applied. The stability analysis of the proposed scheme is carried out using the Von Neumann method. It is shown that the proposed algorithm has good stability. The proposed numerical scheme can provide more accurate results for long-time simulations validated against analytical and/or numerical solutions. A stochastic partial differential equation based model has been derived based on the law of conservation of mass and the Langevin equation of particle displacement to simulate suspended sediment transport in open-channel flows. The proposed model, explicitly expressing the randomness of sediment concentrations, has the advantage of capturing an instantaneous profile of sediment concentrations including not only the mean but also the variance compared with the deterministic A-D equation. As a result, the probability distribution of the sediment transport rate can be characterized based on a number of realizations obtained in the numerical experiments. The lattice approximation is applied to solve the SPDE of suspended sediment transport in open channel flow. The ensemble mean sediment concentration of the proposed SPDE, obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation, agrees well with that of the deterministic A-D equation. This study proposed a stochastic jump diffusion model in response to extreme flows to describe the movement of sediment particles in surface waters. The proposed approach classifies the movement of particles into three categories - a drift motion, a Brownian type motion due to turbulence in the flow field for example, and jumps due to occurrence of extreme events. In the proposed stochastic diffusion jump model, the occurrence of the extreme flow events is modeled as a Poisson process. The frequency of occurrence of the extreme events in the stochastic diffusion jump model can be explicitly accounted for in the evaluation of movement of sediment particles. The ensemble mean and variance of particle trajectory can be obtained from the proposed model. As such, the stochastic diffusion jump model, when coupled with an appropriate hydrodynamic model, can assist in developing a forecast model to predict the movement of particles in the presence of extreme flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration and velocity plays a major role in the study of the transport rate and the transport capacities of a river. Many suspended sediments concentration and velocity profiles exist in the literature, having ambiguous conditions of application. In addition, it is not easy to conduct in - situ measurements. This reveals, not only the utility of using numerical profiles, but also the responsibility of choosing an optimal one.The present thesis aims to conceive new tools for studying the vertical velocity and concentration distribution. In this context, we present two new sediment diffusivity coefficients obtained by the introduction of correction operator on the parabolic diffusivity coefficient. These models are implemented in the convection diffusion equation to generate two analytical concentration profiles and using the Boussinesq assumption, they lead to two analytical velocity profiles. Also, we conceive a method for choosing between different mathematical representation of a same physical phenomenon, and two methods for the intersection between these representations when more than one is applicable and for the extension of the representations to the cases where no model is applicable. We apply this method on the study of the vertical velocity profile and the sediment distribution in steady and uniform sediment laden open channel flows, and we develop the expert system for the vertical sediment concentration distribution code_ERESA.In an appendix, we test the use of the finite volume code_Saturne for the study of the vertical velocity distribution and suspended sediment concentration in open channel flows.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field data were collected on currents, salinities, and suspended sediments intensively over a lunar day and sporadically over a fortnight in September 1988 for the purpose of identifying transport processes and conditions in central San Francisco Bay and for numerical model verification. Conditions were typical of a low freshwater inflow summer season in this area. A two- dimensional horizontal finite element model was applied and verified to field and physical hydraulic model data. The model is intended for future long-term studies of the fate of dredged material dispersed from the Alcatraz disposal site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediment Transport in Aquatic Environments is a book which covers a wide range of topics. The effective management of many aquatic environments, requires a detailed understanding of sediment dynamics. This has both environmental and economic implications, especially where there is any anthropogenic involvement. Numerical models are often the tool used for predicting the transport and fate of sediment movement in these situations, as they can estimate the various spatial and temporal fluxes. However, the physical sedimentary processes can vary quite considerably depending upon whether the local sediments are fully cohesive, non-cohesive, or a mixture of both types. For this reason for more than half a century, scientists, engineers, hydrologists and mathematicians have all been continuing to conduct research into the many aspects which influence sediment transport. These issues range from processes such as erosion and deposition to how sediment process observations can be applied in sediment transport modeling frameworks. This book reports the findings from recent research in applied sediment transport which has been conducted in a wide range of aquatic environments. The research was carried out by researchers who specialize in the transport of sediments and related issues. I highly recommend this textbook to both scientists and engineers who deal with sediment transport issues.

Book excerpt: Details are given herein of the development, refinement and application of a higher-order accurate 3-D finite difference model for non-cohesive suspended sediment transport processes, in non-stratified estuarine and coastal waters. The velocity fields are computed using a 2-D horizontal depth-integrated model, in combination with either an assumed Iogarithmic velocity profile or a velocity profile obtained from field data. Also, for convenience in handling variable bed topographies and for better vertical resolution, a sigma-stretching co-ordinate system has been used. In order to gain insight into the relative merits of various numerical schemes for modelling the convection of high concentration gradients, in terms of both accuracy and efficiency, thirty six existing finite difference schemes and two splitting techniques have been reviewed and compared by applying them to the following cases:....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspended-sediment inflows to Watts Bar Reservoir are important data that are required in numerical modeling of transport and deposition of sediment in the reservoir. Acceptable numerical modeling requires sediment inflow rates and locations in order to be able to compute the location and quantity of sediment deposited within the reservoir. Therefore, the representativeness of modeling results is highly dependent on the characteristics of sediment input to the model. The following recommendations, that account for suspended-sediment inflows to be used in the numerical modeling of sediment transport and deposition in Watts Bar Reservoir, were developed through an evaluation of available watershed and sediment deposition data. (1) Use the suspended-sediment rating regression equations of Gaydos et al., for Emory River at Oakdale, TN, and for Poplar Creek near Oak Ridge, TN, to represent the suspended-sediment inflows into Watts Bar Reservoir from its tributaries; (2) Use a suspended-sediment rating regression equation that was derived from suspended-sediment and streamflow data of the Little Tennessee River at McGhee, TN, to represent sediment inflow from the Little Tennessee River for simulation of any historical year before the completion of Tellico Dam; (3) Check the appropriateness of any assumption for suspended-sediment inflows from upstream reservoirs by using its long-term relationship to local suspended-sediment inflows and to the suspended-sediment outflow through Watts Bar Dam; and (4) Focus refinements to suspended-sediment inflow rates on the Clinch arm of Watts Bar Reservoir.
