EROSION RATE OF COHESIVE SEDIMENT WITH DIFFERENT CLAY-CONTENT-RATIO

Prediction of Cohesive Sediment Erosion Rate and Analyzing the Effective Parameters Using Artificial Neural Network

Transferring mechanic of cohesive sediments are different from non-cohesive sediments. For determining the erosion rate of non-cohesive sediments, physical parameters such as average diameter and density are used, such as average diameter and density. Due to the nature of the cohesive sediments, their erosion rates are determined interrelated with the shear stress of the bed with fixed coeffici...

Hydraulic erosion of cohesive riverbanks

This study identifies and assesses the controls on hydraulic erosion of cohesive riverbanks on a 600-m reach of an urban ephemeral stream with active bank erosion. We examined hydraulic bank erosion by separating estimated bank shear stress into four properties: magnitude, duration, event peak, and variability. The values of these independent variables were used as a bank erosion context at thr...

LTFATE Cohesive Sediment Transport Model

hydrodynamics and sediment transport model used to determine the longand short-term stability of dredged material mounds. This technical note (TN) introduces a new cohesive sediment transport submodel for LTFATE, which includes a combined current-wave shear stress calculation and a layered sediment bed model. LTFATE can be accessed via the Internet at the following address: http://www.wes.army....

Comparison of cavitation erosion rate with liquid impingement erosion rate

Both cavitation erosion and liquid impingement erosion are phenomena that can cause pipe wall thinning in power plants. The Code for Power Generation Facilities, Rules on Pipe Wall Thinning Management, was published by the JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) in 2005. The code says that cavitation erosion shall be prevented either in the design stage or by daily inspection. On the other...
