estimate of sediment load is required in a wide spectrum of water resources engineering problems. the nonlinear nature of suspended sediment load series necessitates the utilization of nonlinear methods to simulate the suspended sediment load. in this study artificial neural networks (anns) are employed to estimate daily suspended sediment load. two different ann algorithms, multi layer percept...

[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...

in this research, using an expansive channel in plan and along the longitudinal profile, deltaic reservoir sedimentation was studied. sedimentation in bed load governed conditions and delta formation in reservoir environment is a function of various parameters such as: geometrical shape of reservoir, bottom slope, hydrological properties and hydraulic conditions of inflowing stream, sediment lo...

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...
