Abstract: A new approach is presented for calculating the equilibrium near-bed concentration of suspended sediment in an alluvial channel flow. It is formulated from the balance between bed sediment entrainment and suspended sediment ...

Abstract: One of the basic impediments to a clear understanding of a variety of fundamental problems in the context of sediment transport has been the lack of a well-grounded formulation of bed sediment entrainment. This is dealt ...

Abstract: Reservoir sedimentation is of worldwide concern, involving not only reservoir benefits, but environmental and ecological issues. Sediment flushing is one of the most common and effective methods for alleviating sedimentation ...

Abstract: Existing numerical river models are mostly built upon asynchronous solution of simplified governing equations. The strong coupling between water flow, sediment transport, and morphological evolution is thus ignored to a ...

Abstract: The Shields diagram remains the most widely used criterion for incipient motion of sediment. However its implicit nature makes applications rather inconvenient. By deploying Guo’s logarithmic matching method twice, this ...
