Estimation of Coastal Sediment Transport

Estimation of Sediment Transport Rate of Karun River (Iran)

Several types of sediment transport equations have been developed for estimation of the river sediment materials during the past decades. The estimated sediment from these equations is very different, especially when they applied for a specific river. Therefore, choice of an equation for estimation of the river sediment load is not an easy task. In this study 10 important sediment transport equ...

Sediment Transport Modelling for Coastal Morphodynamics

The accurate prediction of sand transport rates in the coastal zone depends not only upon the choice of sediment transport model but also, rather critically, upon the formulation used to predict the bed roughness (ks). Sand transport rates are modelled here using both a One-equation, turbulence-closure, TKE-model and also Bijker’s sand transport model. Following some remarks about the nature an...

Wave Induced Mine Burial and Sediment Transport in Coastal Environment: Wave and Sediment Transport Modeling Studies

The long-term goal of this work is to develop numerical simulation techniques for predicting waveinduced sediment transport and bed evolution in the coastal zone (order 10 meter depth outside the surf zone), at horizontal scales of tens of meters or less, and the scouring/burial around objects/obstacles (mine-like), partially buried in the bottom. This research was initially motivated by the Na...
