Incipient Motion of Sediment Particles over Loose
نویسندگان
چکیده
New experimentals work were conducted to study the effects of sediment deposits’ thickness on the incipient motion of particles in a rigid rectangular channel. The results show that the deposits’ thickness significantly affects the channel’s ability to erode the sediment deposits. New equations were derived taking into account the effects of deposits’ thickness.

Riprap sizing for scour protection at river confluence
River confluence is a common feature of most irrigation and drainage channels and river systems, where tributary conflicts the main channel. In these section, rapid changes in velocity and discharge, sediment distribution and flow turbulent result in a deep confluence scour, a bar point in the separation zone at downstream of junction corner and finally vortex flow. Thus, the main goal of this...
متن کاملCombining Field and Laboratory Measurements to Determine the Erosion Risk of Cohesive Sediments Best
In contrast to non-cohesive sediments, the incipient motion of cohesive sediments is characterized by much more complex interactions between several sedimentary, biological, and chemical parameters. Thus, site-specific investigations are required to obtain information about the erosion stability of cohesive materials. This becomes even more relevant for contaminated sediments, stored in riverin...
متن کاملRiprap Stability: Transverse and Longitudinal versus Continuous Protections
An experimental study was conducted to determine the influence of length, width, and protrusion of noncontinuous riprap protections on shear failure conditions. The incipient motion of particles as a failure criterion and the reference transport method as the threshold of motion were used. In each test, riprap transport rates were measured at different time intervals using a sediment trap place...
متن کاملField evidence of pressure gradient induced incipient motion
[1] Recently, models for the onshore migration of nearshore sandbars were improved by including an empirical acceleration term in the sediment transport formulation (Hoefel and Elgar, 2003). Here, field observations of the fluid-sediment interface suggest that the success of this empirical parameter may result from unsteady forcing of sediment beds by nearshore waves. The velocity and sediment ...
