MODELING SEDIMENT TRANSPORT IN THE YELLOW RIVER MOUTH

Interactions of Waves and River Plume and their Effects on Sediment Transport at River Mouth

Utilizing Sediment Tracer Studies to Evalaute Transport Pathways at the Mouth of the Columbia River, Usa

During 2006 to 2009, two sediment tracer studies were implemented at the mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) to improve our understanding of littoral sediment transport pathways along the ocean margins of the inlet. Science-based data from these tracer studies is being integrated with other analysis methods to evaluate if dredged material can be preferentially placed within the coastal near shore...

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...

Interactions of Waves and River Plume and their Effects on Sediment Transport at River Mouth (RIVET I)

The interaction between the hydrodynamics and complex bathymetry can produce highly heterogeneous and locally energetic flows, e.g., in a tidal inlet dominated by tidal flow and wave-current interaction. Consequently, the morphological evolution around such tidal inlet also becomes very dynamic. These two factors cause concerns over navigation safety especially in areas where routine surveys ar...

Modification of Yellow River Sediment Based Stabilized Earth Bricks

This paper presents an experimental study on the microstructure and performance of stabilized earth bricks prepared from the Yellow River sediment. The sediment is modified by inorganic cementitious material, polymer bonding agent, and jute fibre. The results show that the sediment is preliminarily consolidated when the mixture ratio of activated sediment/cementitious binder/sand is 65/25/10. C...
