Introduction to a depth-integrated model for suspended transport (Galappatti, 1983)

It is the aim of this note to give a simple introduction to the method as used by Galappatti (1983) to derive a depth-integrated model for suspended transport. Contrary to other depth-integrated models (see e.g. Latteux and Teisson, 1985) this model is directly based on the 2D convection-diffusion equation (see e.g. de Vries, 1981) including the...

Experiments with non-uniform sediment in case of bed-load transport

An experimental study was carried out in the framework of a research project concerning the development of a mathematical model for morphological computations in rivers in case of non-uniform sediment. The study consists of a series of laboratory experiments in a straight flume under steady, uniform (equilibrium) conditions with a restriction to...
