Combined Impact of Density Stratification and Hindered Settling on Nonequilibrium Suspended Sediment Transport in Open Channel Flows
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present paper studies the two-dimensional unsteady suspended sediment transport problem through an open channel turbulent flow that carries large amounts of sediments. Presence of large amounts of sediments causes ...
Renyi Entropy and Random Walk Hypothesis to Study Suspended Sediment Concentration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sediment concentration in open channels is fundamental to modeling sediment and pollutant transport. This study employs Renyi entropy for deriving the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration in open-channel ...
Hindered Settling Velocity in Particle-Fluid Mixture: A Theoretical Study Using the Entropy Concept
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the study of mechanics of sediment transport, settling velocity is one of the important parameters because it is needed to solve the governing equations. It has been established that the presence of particles in the ...
Direct Derivation of Streamwise Velocity from RANS Equation in an Unsteady Nonuniform Open-Channel Flow
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the vertical profile of streamwise (longitudinal) velocity in an unsteady and nonuniform open-channel turbulent flow. In contrast to the previous works, a direct derivation for velocity distribution ...
Semianalytical Solution for Nonequilibrium Suspended Sediment Transport in Open Channels with Concentration-Dependent Settling Velocity
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study aims to develop a steady two-dimensional suspended sediment transport model in an open channel for turbulent flow-carrying sediments. In such a flow, if sediment concentration is high, hindered settling ...
Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation for Unsteady Vertical Distribution of Suspended Sediments in Open Channel Flows: Effects of Hindered Settling and Concentration-Dependent Mixing Length
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A model on one-dimensional unsteady suspended sediment transport has been developed in this study by including the effect of hindered settling and from mixing length point of view. The sediment diffusion term has been ...
