one-dimensional numerical model of cohesive sediment transport in open channel flow
Authors
abstract
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 erosion and deposition. this model is based on the convection-diffusion equation with proper source and sink terms and dispersion coefficient. the equation developed in the model has been solved by applying the finite volume approach. the model has been calibrated by employing the optimization technique using laboratory experimental data. for optimization, the transformed powel's method has been employed. the data were collected in a flume of 10 m length, 0.30 m width and 0.45 m height. the applied discharges and concentrations were between 3 to 5lit/sec and 7 to 15 lit sec-1, respectively. the performance of this model has been assessed using two data sets: a set obtained in this study, and another provided by other researchers. the model shows good agreement with both data sets. the results obtained suggest that the deposition and erosion are functions of flow concentration, flow depth and shear stress exerted on bed.

Direct numerical simulations of interface-resolved sediment transport in horizontal open-channel flow are currently being performed on the XC-4000. The channel bottom boundary is roughened with a fixed layer of spheres and about 9000 particles are allowed to move within the computational domain. The density ratio of the solid and fluid phase is 1.7 and the bulk Reynolds number of the flow is 28...
