Conceptual Bed‐Load Transport Model and Verification for Sediment Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of hydraulic sorting (selective transport of grains by the flow), bed‐load transport of mixtures of sand and gravel in streams is difficult to predict. The transported gradation is generally different from the ...
Antecedent Bottom Conditions of Reservoirs as Key Factors for High Turbidity in Muddy Water Caused by Storm Rainfall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To facilitate administrators’ abilities to handle reservoir operations, factors on how muddy water was formed inside the reservoir should be identified. According to field observation data, during typhoon events, there ...
Closure to “Development and Geometric Similarity of Alluvial Deltas” by Chjeng-Lun Shieh, Chih-Ming Tseng, and Shaohua Marko Hsu
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Formation Processes and Configuration of Channel-Flow Dominated Alluvial Deltas by Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A horizontal two-dimensional mobile bed model for simulating the formation of river-dominated deltas in the river mouth or reservoir is presented, which is composed of shallow water equations, sediment transport formula, ...
Experiments on Selective Withdrawal of a Codirectional Two-Layer Flow through a Line Sink
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For investigating selective withdrawal problems, laboratory experiments were conducted in a horizontal flume with a co-directional two-layer flow of different density into a line sink. Saline water was used as the fluid ...
Assessment of Three Infiltration Formulas based on Model Fitting on Richards Equation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Richard’s equation was used to numerically model 1D flow within unsaturated topsoil and solved using a two-step Crank-Nicolson scheme. Under constant water supply, the Darcy velocity obtained at the upper boundary, the ...
Development and Geometric Similarity of Alluvial Deltas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Movable bed experiments from a flume into a basin were conducted to study the development of alluvial deltas. The experimental setup was aimed at the bed-load mode. Results showed that the development of the delta can be ...
