Abstract: The continuity equation, Manning’s equation, Einstein’s wall correction procedure and sediment transport equations are combined to indicate channel aspect ratios which maximize sediment transport for a given water discharge ...

Abstract: In this study, errors in determining bed shear stress caused by errors in theoretical bed surface data or roughness size selection using one-point velocity, two-point velocity, or a group of velocity measurements within ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the performance of the hydraulic and sediment removal of a flushing system in a detention basin. A hydraulic criterion for the design of the flushing system is proposed. An equation ...

Abstract: Precise prediction of bed shear stress (τ0) and velocity profile in open channels is critical in various applications. This paper deliberates on the depth-averaged von Kármán coefficient in sediment-laden flows based on ...

Abstract: Local scour on noncohesive beds caused by horizontal circular wall jets in submerged environments is investigated in this study. The effects of the ratios of sediment size-to-hydraulic radius, Ks=d50/Rh, on the jet scour ...

Abstract: The efficiency of dredging, whether with a cutter suction dredger or hydraulic flushing, is closely related to the erodibility of the sediments. It is found that the erodibility of cohesive sediments, which is affected by ...

Abstract: The angle of repose (AoR) of sediments is an important parameter in the hydraulics of sediment transport. This study investigated the AoR (ϕ) of submerged cohesive sediments using a tilting plane. The results indicate that ...

Abstract: Spur dikes are deployed to regulate the flow in an open channel for navigation and bank protection as well as protection of beaches against erosion. The spacing between spurs is a crucial design parameter. The reattachment ...

Abstract: The use of submerged vanes to divert sediment movements on seabed and open channel flows are common in many engineering projects. In the present study, experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of flow ...
