Comparison of the sediment transport formulae according to Bijker and Van Rijn

Over the years, several computational morphological models have been developed that intend to describe the morphological changes in large coastal zones. Two formulae often used to calculate the sediment transport within these models are those of Bijker (1968) and Van Rijn (1993). These formulae often predict different sediment transport rates...

Sediment Concentration due to Currents and Irregular Waves: The effects of grading of the bed material: analysis report

Coastal changes are often the result of changes in the sediment transport rates along a coast. For the prediction of coastal changes, it is therefore necessary to accurately compute the transport rates. For the computation of longshore transport rates, a number of models is available, for example the TRANSPOR model by Van Rijn [1993]. In most of...

Further analysis of sand concentration distributions based on a diffusion concept

Morphological changes of coastal areas are caused by sediment transport. Sediment transport is one of the most important subjects in coastal engineering research. Various models are available to predict the sediment transport rate as a function of wave height, current velocity and grain size. The reliability of these models is unknown, because...
