Entrainment of Bed Sediment into Suspension
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The literature abounds with apparently conflicting relations for predicting the reference near‐bed concentration of suspended sediment or the entrainment rate of noncohesive bed sediment into suspension. Most of these ...
Closure to “<i>Entrainment of Bed Sediment into Suspension</i>” by Marcelo Garcia and Gary Parker (April, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 4)

Engelund's Analysis of Turbulent Energy and Suspended Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We analyze a one-equation model for the turbulent kinetic energy of an open channel flow in the presence of suspension sediment. Engelund's pioneer analysis and his criterion for the threshold conditions for the initiation ...
Experiments on Saltation of Sand in Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A high-speed video system was used to study saltation of sand in an open channel flow. High rates of image acquisition provided the information needed to resolve details of the Lagrangian properties of particle motion. ...
Local Scour and Sediment Deposition at Bridge Piers during Floods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The local scour and sediment deposition at a bridge pier during flood waves is analyzed to investigate the effects of different flow and sediment regimes (regulated and unregulated discharges with or without excess sediment ...
Web Mapping of Extreme Daily Rainfall Data in Central and Northern Argentina
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work presents web mapping of extreme daily precipitation values in central and northern Argentina, including values of both annual maximum precipitation (AMP) for different return periods, and probable maximum ...
