Sediment transport in case of irregular non-breaking waves with a current

Investigation to sediment transport rate in case of waves and currents, tests executed in the wave-current flume of the laboratory of Fluid mechanics of TU Delft. Sediment transport was measured using sand of 100 micron; comparison to similar tests with 200 micron sand.

Sediment transport concentrations and sediment transport in case of irregular non-breaking waves with a current

In many coastal, engineering problems the sediment transport plays a part. A transport gradient causes accretion or erosion. Various models, such as that of Bijker, Engelund and Hansen (van de Graaff and van Overeem, 1979) and Nielsen (1985) are available to estimate the sediment transport rate if the hydraulic and environmental conditions (wave...
