Numerical Analysis of Sediment Transport in Sewer Pipe

Authors

Abstract:

The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteristics of flow in channels with a circular cross section with different bed slope and their effects on sediment transport capacity by use of 3D numerical simulation of flow field with ANSYS-CFX software. It studies hydraulic features of the flow passing through a circular channel in a two or three phase conditions. Self-cleansing velocity and volumetric sediment concentration in various Froude numbers were compared by lab outcomes to validate the results of numerical model. Results of numerical simulation indicate a proper adaptation of numerical and experimental models. Longitudinal velocity counters obtained by numerical simulation are compared in two or three phase flows.

Sediment Transport and Dunes in Pipe Flow

We propose a two-phase model having a Newtonian rheology for the fluid phase and friction for the particle phase to describe bed-load transport in laminar pipe flows. This model is able to provide a description of the flow of the mobile granular layer. When the flow is not significantly perturbed, simple analytical results of the particle flux varying cubically with the Shields number can be ob...

Automated Sewer Pipe Inspection through Image Processing

An innovative inspection method to assess the condition of sewer pipes is proposed in this paper. The standard sewer inspection technique, based on closed-circuit television systems, has a very poor performance. A video camera is mounted on a robot and the video recording is provided off-line to an engineer that classifies the potential defects. The focus of the research is the automated identi...

Sediment Transport in Unsteady Flow Conditions

Sediment transport under unsteady flow condition is studied experimentally. In the first step, sediment transport under different steady flow conditions was measured and an empirical equation was derived for its calculation. In the next step, two continuous and three stepwise hydrographs were generated in the flume, and their sediment transport rate was measured. The continuous hydrographs were...
