Users manual: DUCT-SUSTRA

Some information is given how to use the scour model DUCT-SUSTRA (Hoffmans, 1991). The scour model predicts the morphological process in scour holes or trenches and consists of two separated sub-models: a flow model DUCT and a morphological model SUSTRA. The flow model is based on the equation of continuity and the momentum equations for...

Concentration and flow velocity measurements in a local scour hole

Flume experiments with small Froude numbers have been carried out to study the concentration field in a local scour hole without supply of sediment load. The measuring results will be used to check the validity of the two dimensional scour model DUCT-SUSTRA. The objective of the experiments was to measure the concentrations at various locations...
