abstract in this study, the effect of suspended load transport on the characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump (shj) in a rectangular channel was investigated experimentally. sediment concentration and jet froude numbers in the range of 0.424%-16.15% and 1.93-4.96, respectively, were considered. tow grain size 0.15 and 0.03 mm were used in the experiments. characteristics of submerged hydrau...

Correlations between suspended sediment load rating parameters, river basin morphology, and climate provide information about the physical controls on the sediment load in rivers and are used to create predictive equations for the sediment rating parameters. Long-term time-averaged values of discharge, suspended load, flow duration, flow peakedness, and temporally averaged values of precipitati...

[1] A mechanistic model is derived for the rate of fluvial erosion into bedrock by abrasion from uniform size particles that impact the bed during transport in both bed and suspended load. The erosion rate is equated to the product of the impact rate, the mass loss per particle impact, and a bed coverage term. Unlike previous models that consider only bed load, the impact rate is not assumed to...

Appropriate and acceptable prediction of bed load being carried by streams is vitally important for water resources quantity and quality studies. Although measuring the rate of bed load in situ is the most consistent method, it is very expensive and cannot be conducted for as many streams as the measurement of suspended sediment load. Therefore, in this study the role of suspended load on bedlo...

The alluvial flood plains of lowland Britain contain thick sequences of fine-grained sediment that result from the deposition of suspended sediment during flood events. These environments constitute important storage zones for a wide range of sediment-associated nutrients and con­ taminants and many of the geochemical properties of the deposited sediment are strongly related to particle size. R...

CAMENEN, B. and LARSON, M., 2008. A general formula for noncohesive suspended sediment transport. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(3), 615–627. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. A simple and robust suspended load transport formula for noncohesive sediment is presented for application to river, estuarine, and coastal environments with the use of depth-averaged models. The formula is base...

Several types of sediment transport equations have been developed for estimation of the river sediment materials during the past decades. The estimated sediment from these equations is very different, especially when they applied for a specific river. Therefore, choice of an equation for estimation of the river sediment load is not an easy task. In this study 10 important sediment transport equ...

The paper presents an overview of recent publications on the fluvial suspended sediment flux to the Arctic Ocean. The total suspended matter exported from the Russian territory is 102×10 t/year and from the Canadian Arctic is 125×10 t/year. The total suspended matter (TSM) flux to the Arctic (227×10 t/year) is very low, only about 1% of the global flux. Mean concentrations of suspended matter a...

Sediment transport relates to suspended sediment and bedload. The suspended sedi‐ ment plays the most important role on the land-ocen sediment flux. On the other hand, the bedload should be considered in order to assess the impacts of dams on sediment transport and sediment yield. Recent effects of dam construction have been widely reported. The sediment load has been reduced by more than 75% f...

Statistically veri®ed composite ®ngerprints and a multivariate mixing model have been employed to establish the main sources of the suspended sediment transported through the lower, non-tidal reaches of the River Ouse and one of its main tributaries, the River Wharfe, during the period 1994±1997. In the case of the suspended sediment samples collected from the River Ouse, the load-weighted mean...
