abstract

pure rockfill dams have been found specific attention in watershed management and flood control, recently. in addition to hydraulic specific features, one of the important advantages of these structures is their consistency with nature and environment. normally, floods are accompanied with high sediment loads which may enter the body of dam. when flow through dam body governed by hydraulic gradient higher than the critical one, sediment will pass through and be transported downstream the dam. if sediment load transported through rockfill dam is more than sediment transport capacity of downstream channel, then erosion may occur downstream and if less, excess sediment load will be settled down. therefore, it is important to determine sediment transport capacity of flow through rockfill dams before building them. for this purpose a 1-d model for flow through rockfill dam accompanied with sediment transport relationship in coarse porous media (rockfill) has been developed. the rockfill dam used in the experiments was consisted of a rectangular block of 600 mm long, 300 mm wide and 300 mm high. the experiments were conducted for two  rockfill (14.5 and 21mm) three sediment sizes (0.256, 0.362 and 0.512 mm) , and five flow rates (5 to 13 l/sec). the refered relationship includes some coefficients related to the rockfill media and its flow turbulence which need to be identified. in this regard, experiments have  been conducted. the results of the model compared to the observed experimental data have been shown to be reliable.

Prediction of Sediment Transport Capacity in Rivers Using Quasi Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model

Sediment rating curve is an essential factor for many river engineering subjects and computations such as dredging, design of storage dams, river intakes design and sand mining management. Although, this curve is established using simultaneous measurement of flow and sediment transport discharges, however, due to lack of reliable data during flood events, it has limited reliability in flood con...

cohesion and cohesive devices in a contrastive analysis between ge and esp texts

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...

one-dimensional numerical model of cohesive sediment transport in open channel flow

cohesive sediment transport remains a complicated subject that hydraulic engineers are frequently faced with in water-related engineering problems. this is primarily affected by the macroscopic aspects of water-sediment system characteristics. in this paper a 1-d mathematical model was developed to be employed in predicting the cohesive sediment transport under simultaneous conditions of erosio...

one dimensional mathematical model for discharge flow calculation in submerged rockfill detention dams

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...
