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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: A new measure of entropy based on incomplete information theory has been proposed in the literature for deriving velocity profiles in open-channel flow. This entropy is a one-parameter generalization of the Shannon entropy, ...

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 ...
