A process-based erosion model is used to study parameterization problems of sediment entrainment equations in overland flow areas. One of the equations for entrainment by flow is developed based on a theory of excess stream power, while the other two relate to excess hydraulic shear. The investigation is conducted in two steps. The first step examines parameter optimization for simulated data sets where the parameter values are known. In the second step, parameter optimization for the most robust equation is examined using experimental data from rainfall simulator plots. Results demonstrate that although the model is capable of estimating total sediment yields with relatively small errors in parameter estimates, the converse is true when the optimization is performed for sediment concentrations. Although sediment yields calculated from simulated sediment concentrations match well with observed data, the parameter estimates generally underestimate sediment concentrations on the rising limb of the sediment graphs, and they overestimate them on the falling limb. This difficulty might be related to structural problems in the model, and unique solutions for parameter estimates cannot be obtained.  相似文献

Fluvial bed load transport is often considered to assume a capacity regime exclusively determined by local flow conditions, but its applicability in naturally occurring unsteady flows remains to be theoretically justified. In addition, mathematical river models are often decoupled, being based on simplified conservation equations and ignoring the feedback impacts of bed deformation to a certain extent. So far whether the decoupling could have considerable impacts on the fluvial processes with bed load transport remains poorly understood. This paper presents a theoretical investigation of both issues. The multiple time scales of fluvial processes with bed load sediment are evaluated to examine the applicability of bed load transport capacity and decoupled models. Numerical case studies involving active bed load transport by highly unsteady flows complement the analysis of the time scales. It is found that bed load transport can sufficiently rapidly adapt to capacity in line with local flow because sediment exchange with the bed overwhelms the advection of bed load sediment by the mean flow. The present work provides theoretical justification of the concept of bed load transport capacity in most circumstances, which is underpinned by existing observations of bed load transport by flash floods. For fluvial processes with bed load transport, the feedback impacts of bed deformation are limited; therefore, decoupled modeling is, in this sense, appropriate.  相似文献

Two-Dimensional Total Sediment Load Model Equations   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
An unsteady total load equation is derived for use in depth-averaged sediment transport models. The equation does not require the load to be segregated a priori into bed and suspended but rather automatically switches to suspended load, bed load, or mixed load depending on a transport mode parameter consisting of local flow hydraulics. Further, the sediment transport velocity, developed from available data, is explicitly tracked, and makes the equation suitable for unsteady events of sediment movement. The equation can be applied to multiple size fractions and ensures smooth transition of sediment variables between bed load and suspended load for each size fraction. The new contributions of the current work are the consistent treatment of sediment concentration in the model equation and the empirical definition of parameters that ensure smooth transitions of sediment variables between suspended load and bed load.  相似文献

For small group sizes, the GLS estimator in multilevel models is biased and inconsistent when the random cluster effects are correlated with the regressors. A fixed effects approach, conditioning on the cluster effects, provides consistent estimates for the slope parameters. The two estimators are equivalent when group sizes are large. The same results obtain for two-stage estimation procedures that allow for some of the regressors to be simultaneously determined with the dependent variable. The GLS and fixed effects estimators are applied to data on acute care hospital utilization in the UK, allowing for health authority district effects.  相似文献

The purpose of this research was to evaluate peak runoff control as a water protection method to reduce sediment and nutrient loads. Increased eutrophication of surface waters and risk of floods demands cost effective methods to reduce pollutant input and risks of flooding. With the peak runoff control it is possible to cut the main peaks and store the runoff water temporarily in ditches. The method decreases the suspended solids (SS) and nutrient loads by reducing flow velocities, and improving the settling of sediment particles. The method was tested in two heavily drained adjacent peat harvesting areas suffering considerable erosion. The peak flows were cut by 27–87%, the SS load by 61–94%, the total nitrogen (Ntot) by 45–91%, and the total phosphorus (Ptot) load by 47–88%. The peak runoff control method operated most effectively during extreme events when most of the SS load is transported. A detailed particle analysis of runoff water showed that water detention reduced the median particle size of SS load as the largest particles settle. The results clearly indicate that the peak runoff control is an effective method to control the sediment loads and peak flows from peatland drainage.  相似文献

Multiple Linear Regression Model for Total Bed Material Load Prediction   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
A new total bed material load equation that is applicable for rivers in Malaysia was developed using multiple linear regression analyses. A total of 346 hydraulic and sediment data were collected from nine natural and channelized rivers having diverse catchment characteristics in Malaysia. The governing parameters were carefully selected based on literature survey and field experiments, examined and grouped into five categories namely mobility, transport, sediment, shape, and flow resistance parameters. The most influential parameters from each group were selected by using all possible regression model method. The suitable model selection criteria namely the R-square, adjusted R-square, mean square error, and Mallow’s Cp statistics were employed. The accuracy of the derived model is determined using the discrepancy ratio, which is a ratio of the calculated values to the measured values. The best performing models that give the highest percentage of prediction from the validation data were chosen. In general, the newly derived model is best suited for rivers with uniform sediment size distribution with a d50 value within the range of 0.37–4.0 mm and performs better than the commonly used Graf, Yang, and Ackers–White total bed material load equations.  相似文献

Bacterial levels in Buffalo Bayou in Houston commonly exceed contact recreation standards. Potential sources of bacteria include wastewater treatment plants, sanitary sewer overflows, septic systems, wet and dry nonpoint-source discharges via direct runoff and pipes, direct deposition, and sediment. A water-quality model in the Hydrologic Simulation Program—FORTRAN (HSPF) was calibrated and validated for hydrology, sediment, and Escherichia coli and subsequently used to evaluate the impacts of the bacterial sources in the watershed. In addition, simple estimates of bacterial loads were calculated along with source evaluations from load duration curves. Load reductions based upon the simple estimates indicated that water-quality standards were met by reducing dry-weather indicator bacterial loads by 69% and wet-weather loads by 98%. When these load reductions were implemented in the HSPF model, however, standards were not met under dry-weather conditions. Residual nonpoint-source loading was found to cause the discrepancy between simple load estimate calculations and the developed water-quality model. This paper demonstrates that runoff can play a significant role in maintaining high levels of bacteria under all flow conditions and that understanding the temporal variations in bacterial source loading is critical to ensure that load reductions will achieve water-quality standards.  相似文献

The development of a fully three-dimensional finite volume morphodynamic model, for simulating fluid and sediment transport in curved open channels with rigid walls, is described. For flow field simulation, the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved numerically, without reliance on the assumption of hydrostatic pressure distribution, in a curvilinear nonorthogonal coordinate system. Turbulence closure is provided by either a low-Reynolds number k?ω turbulence model or the standard k?ε turbulence model, both of which apply a Boussinesq eddy viscosity. The sediment concentration distribution is obtained using the convection-diffusion equation and the sediment continuity equation is applied to calculate channel bed evolution, based on consideration of both bed load and suspended sediment load. The governing equations are solved in a collocated grid system. Experimental data obtained from a laboratory study of flow in an S-shaped channel are utilized to check the accuracy of the model’s hydrodynamic computations. Also, data from a different laboratory study, of equilibrium bed morphology associated with flow through 90° and 135° channel bends, are used to validate the model’s simulated bed evolution. The numerically-modeled fluid and sediment transportation show generally good agreement with the measured data. The calculated results with both turbulence models show that the low-Reynolds k?ω model better predicts flow and sediment transport through channel bends than the standard k?ε model.  相似文献

A method is proposed for estimating rates of sediment transport in ice-covered alluvial channels. The method extends existing, open-water procedures for estimating rates of sediment transport to conditions of ice-covered flow. A key aspect of the method is the assessment of flow resistance attributable to bed-surface drag. That assessment is used to estimate rates of bed load and suspended load, and thereby total bed-sediment transport rate. Estimation of ice-covered suspended load additionally entails an approximation whereby open-water suspended load is scaled in proportion to the ratio of a reference sediment concentration for ice-covered flow relative to that for open-water flow. The reference concentration is calculated in terms of bed-load rate and shear velocity attributed to bed-surface drag. Flume data are used to develop the method and tentatively verify it. Field verification of the method presently is hampered by the absence of field data on bed sediment transport in ice-covered channels.  相似文献

To evaluate the performance of a computer model simulating runoff and sediment load in the upper region of the Changjiang (Yangtze River) basin over a relatively short time interval, including examining the applicability of the input precipitation data generated from global circulation models and satellite data, we used a spatially distributed model, HSPF with the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) precipitation data for 1987 and 1988 as input data. The Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (R2) for 5-day average streamflow was 0.94 in the calibration period and 0.95 in the verification period for the whole upper region. Moreover, the model simulated the 5-day average streamflow well in each main tributary, as shown by R2 values of 0.46–0.96, except that it underestimated the peak flow rates during the flood season over 2 years by up to 71% in Tuojiang and 61% in Jialingjiang. The model simulated the 5-day concentrations of suspended solids (SS) fairly well in the headwaters and upper regions of the Jinshajiang, Yalongjiang, and Minjiang watersheds, as shown by R2 values of 0.31–0.65. In the other regions, however, the model underestimated the SS load by up to 72%, and rarely simulated the fluctuation of SS concentration in each river channel during the flood season. These errors led to the underestimation of sediment runoff volume from the whole upper region during the flood season, as shown by the ratio of the simulated sediment load to the observed data at Yichang: 0.69 in the calibration period and 0.68 in the verification period. The ISLSCP precipitation tended to be more frequent and less intense than the measured precipitation. This was probably the main reason why the HSPF did not perform well in all regions at all times.  相似文献

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for suspended load transport in turbulent flows. Based on the stochastic theory of turbulent flow proposed by Dou, numerical schemes of Reynolds stresses for anisotropic turbulent flows are obtained. Instead of a logarithmic law, a specific wall function is used to describe the velocity profile close to wall boundaries. The equations for two-dimensional suspended load motion and sorting of bed material have been improved for a 3D case. Numerical results are in good agreement with the measured data of the Gezhouba Project. The present method has been employed to simulate sediment erosion and deposition in the vicinity of the Three Gorges Dam. The size distribution of the deposits and bed material, and flow and sediment concentration at different times and elevations, are predicted. The results agree well with the observations in physical experiments. Thus, a new method is established for 3D simulation of sediment motion in the vicinity of dams.  相似文献

Experiments have been carried out in a mobile-bed laboratory flume in order to study the sediment exchange process between the main channel and the groyne fields. The flume represented half the width of a schematized river reach with a series of groynes. The experiment was designed to represent typical dimensions of the Dutch River Waal at a geometrical scale of 1:100. The conditions were set to guarantee bed load as well as suspended load sediment transport. Conditions with submerged and emerged groynes were investigated. In addition to traditional measurements, viz., bed-level changes, suspended sediment concentrations, and flow velocities, bed-form propagation was measured in two dimensions using a the particle image velocimetry technique. The results were analyzed with focus on sediment exchange mechanisms and sediment transport patterns. The results demonstrate that under all flow conditions there is a net import of sediment into the groyne fields. The prevailing transport mechanisms vary with the flow stage: if the groynes are emerged it is mainly advection by the primary circulation cell, whereas if the groynes are submerged it is rather residual advection by large-scale coherent flow structures (in a straight reach). Additional entrainment of sediment by enhanced turbulence complicates the erosion/deposition patterns.  相似文献

Experimental Study of Bed Load Transport through Emergent Vegetation   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Vegetation is an important agent in fluvial geomorphology and sedimentary processes, through its influence on the local hydraulics that determine sediment transport. Within stands of emergent vegetation, bed shear is substantially reduced through the absorption of momentum by drag on the stems. This stimulates deposition of sediment and reduces capacity for bed load transport. The effect of emergent vegetation on hydraulic parameters (including equilibrium bed gradient, flow depth, and velocity) and on bed load transport rate has been investigated experimentally for one sediment size, stem diameter, and stem spacing. Bed load transport rate was found to be closely related to bed-shear stress, which must be estimated by partitioning total flow resistance between stem drag and bed shear.  相似文献

Bridge Pier Scour under Flood Waves   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The effect of a single-peaked flood wave on pier scour is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The conditions considered involve clear-water scour of a cohesionless material of given median sediment size and sediment nonuniformity, an approach flow characterized by a flow depth and velocity, a circular-shaped cylindrical bridge pier, and a flood hydrograph defined by its time to peak and peak discharge. A previously proposed formula for scour advance under a constant discharge was applied to the unsteady approach flow. The generalized temporal scour development along with the end scour depth are presented in terms of mainly the densimetric particle Froude number based on the maximum approach flow velocity and the median sediment size. The effect of the remaining parameters on the end scour depth is discussed and predictions are demonstrated to be essentially in agreement with model observations.  相似文献

Sediment grains transported as supply-limited bed load on a rigid surface move either discretely or collectively as bed forms, with significantly different effective grain speeds and active storage volumes. The adopted mode has implications for sediment sorting and heavy mineral placer formation, dispersal of grain-associated pollutants, and accumulation and flushing of sediment deposits in unlined canals and sewers. The threshold condition between the two modes has been established for a smooth surface from flume experiments with different sediment types, flow conditions, and sediment supply rates. This is expressed in terms of a relationship between the sediment movability number, a dimensionless bed load parameter, and a grain shear Reynolds number.  相似文献

One-Dimensional Modeling of Dam-Break Flow over Movable Beds   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
A one-dimensional model has been established to simulate the fluvial processes under dam-break flow over movable beds. The hydrodynamic model adopts the generalized shallow water equations, which consider the effects of sediment transport and bed change on the flow. The sediment model computes the nonequilibrium transport of bed load and suspended load. The effects of sediment concentration on sediment settling and entrainment are considered in determining the sediment settling velocity and transport capacity. In particular, a correction factor is proposed to modify the Van Rijn formulas of equilibrium bed-load transport rate and near-bed suspended-load concentration for the simulation of sediment transport under high-shear flow conditions. The governing equations are solved by an explicit finite-volume method with the first-order upwind scheme for intercell fluxes. The model has been tested in two experimental cases, with fairly good agreement between simulations and measurements. The sensitivities of the model results to parameters such as the sediment nonequilibrium adaptation length, Manning’s roughness coefficient and the proposed correction factor have been verified. The proposed model has also been compared to an existing model and the results indicate the new model is more reliable.  相似文献
