Entrainment Probabilities of Mixed-Size Sediment Incorporating Near-Bed Coherent Flow Structures
In this work we incorporate the effect of near-bed coherent flow structures into the entrainment of randomly configured mixed-size sediments. The fourth-order Gram–Charlier type probability density function (GC pdf) of near-bed streamwise velocity is employed to account for the higher-order correlations associated with turbulent bursting. A compilation of the published data over a wide range of...
متن کاملCritical conditions of bed sediment entrainment due to debris flow
The present study describes entrainment characteristics of bed material into debris flow, based on flume tests, numerical and dimensional analyses. Flume tests are conducted to investigate influences of bed sediment size on erosion rate by supplying debris flows having unsaturated sediment concentration over erodible beds. Experimental results show that the erosion rate decreases monotonically ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Near-Bed Sediment Flux Sensor
Our research program focuses on identifying and quantifying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition processes on the continental shelf through state-of-the-art observational techniques in both fine grained and sandy environments. In sandy environments our goal is to understand the detailed interactions and feedbacks between hydrodynamics, bedforms, and the resulting sand transport. In fine-...
متن کاملNutrient characteristics and sediment texture of the seagrass beds of the Gulf of Mannar.
Changes in nutrient concentrations and sediment texture of the seagrass beds were recorded for two years from July 1996 to June 1998 at monthly intervals at two stations (Station 1--Manoli island; Station 2--Chinnapalam) of the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve. Different nutrients in water showed varied concentrations in different seasons. Phosphate concentration varied between 2.32 and ...
متن کاملOn the near-wall characteristics of acceleration in turbulence
The behaviour of fluid-particle acceleration in near-wall turbulent flows is investigated in numerically simulated turbulent channel flows at low to moderate Reynolds numbers, Reτ =180∼ 600. The acceleration is decomposed into pressure-gradient (irrotational) and viscous contributions (solenoidal acceleration) and the statistics of each component are analysed. In near-wall turbulent flows, the ...
