Abstract: An unsteady total load equation is derived for use in depth-averaged sediment transport models. The equation does not require the load to be segregated a priori into bed and suspended but rather automatically switches to ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional layer-averaged model is developed and verified to simulate turbidity current characteristics and its sluicing in reservoirs. The governing equations consist of mass and momentum conservation laws for the ...

Abstract: The movement of finite amplitude sediment accumulations is studied using a simple advection-diffusion relation derived from the sediment continuity equation and using some heuristic reasoning. The movement of a finite ...

Abstract: An open-channel junction flow is encountered in many hydraulic structures ranging from wastewater treatment facilities to fish passage conveyance structures. An extensive number of experimental studies have been conducted ...
