Bed-load transport is commonly evaluated in the condition of a hydrostatic pressure distribution of the flow field; while this condition is reasonable for quasi-steady, quasi-uniform rectilinear flows, it cannot be satisfied in a large variety of flow conditions, i.e., near an obstacle as in the case of a bridge pier. The dimensionless Shields number, which contains the assumption of a hydrostatic pressure distribution in its denominator, therefore cannot be strictly applied to evaluate bed-load transport in all the configurations where nonhydrostatic pressure distributions are observed. In the present work, a generalization of the Shields number is proposed for the case of nonhydrostatic pressure distribution produced by groundwater flow. Experiments showing the effects of vertical groundwater flow on the bed morphodynamics are presented. The comparison between the experimental observations and numerical results, obtained by means of a morphodynamic model which employs the new formulation of the Shields number, suggests that the proposed generalization of the Shields number is able to account the effect of the nonhydrostatic pressure distribution on the bed-load transport. 相似文献

When open-channel flows become sufficiently powerful, the mode of bed-load transport changes from saltation to sheet flow. Where there is no suspended sediment, sheet flow consists of a layer of colliding grains whose basal concentration approaches that of the stationary bed. These collisions give rise to a dispersive stress that acts normal to the bed and supports the bed load. An equation for predicting the rate of bed-load transport in sheet flow is developed from an analysis of 55 flume and closed conduit experiments. The equation is ib = ω where ib = immersed bed-load transport rate; and ω = flow power. That ib = ω implies that eb = tan?α = ub/u, where eb = Bagnold’s bed-load transport efficiency; ub = mean grain velocity in the sheet-flow layer; and tan?α = dynamic internal friction coefficient. Given that tan?α ≈ 0.6 for natural sand, ub ≈ 0.6u, and eb ≈ 0.6. This finding is confirmed by an independent analysis of the experimental data. The value of 0.60 for eb is much larger than the value of 0.12 calculated by Bagnold, indicating that sheet flow is a much more efficient mode of bed-load transport than previously thought. 相似文献

An existing two-dimensional mobile-bed hydrodynamic model has been modified to simulate bed-load transport in a complex gravel-bed river. We investigated the sensitivity of predicted bed load to control parameters, and compared model predictions of flow depth, shear stress, and gravel transport with field measurements made from the river. The predictions are based on concurrent field data of flow discharge, water level, and sediment for model input. The model takes into account multiple-fraction transport rates, and continuously updates the river bed and surface grain-size distribution. The model predictions are in reasonable agreement with field measurements. 相似文献

Two general dispersion models suitable for nonequilibrium bed-load transport were constructed. The first one, called the P model, is based on the probability of migration for specific groups of sediment particles. The second one, called the D model, is derived from the advection equation discretized in finite-difference form, which is equivalent to the general dispersion equation. By comparing these models, it is found that the D model can be treated like the P model in some respects. The Courant number, Cr, in the D model has the same physical meaning as the probability of migration, P, in the P model. Although the D model and P model were based on different concepts, the simulated bed-load transport rates, which result from their application, are the same. Therefore, the dispersion equation was replaced by the numerical algorithm of the advection equation (D model) to examine several dispersion phenomena of bed-load transport. To explore further the nonequilibrium dispersion process, a series of flume experiments was conducted by using color-painted fine gravels. Having compared model simulation results and experimental data, it is shown that the models derived in this study have a reasonably good agreement with the experimental results. In summary, this study has indirectly proven that the D model, which is equivalent to the dispersion equation, is capable of simulating the nonequilibrium bed-load transport. 相似文献

Effect of Coarse Surface Layer on Bed-Load Transport 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
James C. Bathurst 《Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly》2007,133(11):1192-1205
Existing bed-load transport formulas may overestimate the transport rate in mountain rivers by two orders of magnitude or more. Recently published field data sets provide an opportunity to take a fresh look at the bed-load transport relationship and it is hypothesized that the overestimate is due to a failure to account for the effect of a coarse surface layer of bed material inhibiting the release of fine subsurface material. Bed-load transport is determined as gs = aρ(q?qc) where q=water discharge per unit width; qc=critical value for initiation of bed material movement; ρ=water density; and a=coefficient. The gs/q relationship is typically piecewise linear, characterized by two transport phases with, respectively, low and high rates of change. Twenty-one flume and 25 field data sets were used to quantify the relationship for Phase 2. The flume data confirm the dependence of a on S1.5, where S=channel slope, in agreement with earlier studies. The field data additionally show that a varies inversely with the degree of bed armoring, given by the ratio of surface to subsurface bed material size. The finding is consistent with the hypothesis and suggests the need to account for the bed material supply limitation in the bed-load transport formula. However, the available data are not entirely sufficient to rule out an alternative dependency, or codependency, on flow resistance. The critical conditions for initiation of Phase 2 transport are also quantified as a function of bed material size and channel slope. The resulting set of equations allows a more accurate estimation of Phase 2 bed-load transport rates. However, the equations are empirical and should be restricted for use within the range of conditions used in their development, to determine mean rather than instantaneous transport rates and to determine bulk transport rates, not transport by size fraction. 相似文献

Measurement of near-bed sediment velocities with acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) is an emerging approach for quantifying bed-load sediment fluxes in rivers. Previous investigations of the technique have relied on conventional physical bed-load sampling to provide reference transport information with which to validate the ADCP measurements. However, physical samples are subject to substantial errors, especially under field conditions in which surrogate methods are most needed. Comparisons between ADCP bed velocity measurements with bed-load transport rates estimated from bed-form migration rates in the lower Missouri River show a strong correlation between the two surrogate measures over a wide range of mild to moderately intense sediment transporting conditions. The correlation between the ADCP measurements and physical bed-load samples is comparatively poor, suggesting that physical bed-load sampling is ineffective for ground-truthing alternative techniques in large sand-bed rivers. Bed velocities measured in this study became more variable with increasing bed-form wavelength at higher shear stresses. Under these conditions, bed-form dimensions greatly exceed the region of the bed ensonified by the ADCP, and the magnitude of the acoustic measurements depends on instrument location with respect to bed-form crests and troughs. Alternative algorithms for estimating bed-load transport from paired longitudinal profiles of bed topography were evaluated. An algorithm based on the routing of local erosion and deposition volumes that eliminates the need to identify individual bed forms was found to give results similar to those of more conventional dune-tracking methods. This method is particularly useful in cases where complex bed-form morphology makes delineation of individual bed forms difficult. 相似文献

In the saltation regime where bed-shear stress is low, bed load moves by sliding, rolling, and saltating along the bed, while in the sheet-flow regime where bed-shear stress is high, it travels by a combination of saltation and sheet flow. In this paper a theoretical model is developed for predicting the onset of the sheet-flow regime as shear stress increases. This model is based on a new variable Pb representing the proportion of grains on the bed that are entrained as bed load. The model yields the equation Pb = 2.56θG3 in which G = 1?θc/θ, θ = dimensionless bed-shear stress; and θc = critical value of θ at which grains begin to move. The equation shows that θt, which is the value of θ at the onset of the sheet-flow regime and is assumed to occur when Pb = 1, is around 0.5 with the exact value controlled by θc. For example, when θc = 0.045, θt = 0.52. The theoretical model is verified by performing a nonlinear regression analysis on data from 285 flume experiments. Additional flume experiments with a high-speed video (HSV) system result in consistent values of θ for the onset of the sheet-flow regime, which support the theoretical model. The HSV images further reveal that: (1) the sheet-flow regime is characterized by granular sheets or laminations; and (2) a zone of mixed saltation and rolling grains exists not only in the saltation regime but also in the sheet-flow regime. 相似文献

An exponential formula that does not involve the concept of the critical shear stress is derived in this study for computing bedload transport rates. The formula represents well various experimental data sets ranging from the weak transport to high shear conditions. Comparisons of the present study are also made with many previous bedload formulas commonly cited in the literature. 相似文献

Unified View of Sediment Transport by Currents and Waves. I: Initiation of Motion, Bed Roughness, and Bed-Load Transport 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Attention is given to the properties of sediment beds over the full range of conditions (silts to gravel), in particular the effect of fine silt on the bed composition and on initiation of motion (critical conditions) is discussed. High-quality bed-load transport data sets are identified and analyzed, showing that the bed-load transport in the sand range is related to velocity to power 2.5. The bed-load transport is not much affected by particle size. The prediction of bed roughness is addressed and the prediction of bed-load transport in steady river flow is extended to coastal flow applying an intrawave approach. Simplified bed-load transport formulas are presented, which can be used to obtain a quick estimate of bed-load transport in river and coastal flows. It is shown that the sediment transport of fine silts to coarse sand can be described in a unified model framework using fairly simple expressions. The proposed model is fully predictive in the sense that only the basic hydrodynamic parameters (depth, current velocity, wave height, wave period, etc.) and the basic sediment characteristics (d10, d50, d90, water temperature, and salinity) need to be known. The prediction of the effective bed roughness is an integral part of the model. 相似文献

In this work we incorporate a Gram–Charlier-type joint probability distribution of near-bed two-dimensional instantaneous velocities into a simple mechanistic model to investigate the role of turbulent bursting in sediment entrainment. The results reveal that under typical values of bed-shear stress (>3?Pa), the time fractions of Quadrants 1–4 (Q1–Q4) remain constantly as 16, 34, 19, and 31%, respectively. Entrainment of the fine sediment mixtures is dominated by the lifting mode, whereas entrainment of the coarse ones is dominated by rolling. Sweeps (Q4) are consistently the most significant contributor to entrainment under various types of sediment mixtures. As the standard deviation of grain-size distribution increases, the hiding effect exerted on the finer grains of the mixture is reduced, leading to the elevated correction factors for effective hydrodynamic forces, and thus the reduced threshold velocities for entrainment. The reduced thresholds would, in turn, enhance the fractional contributions of ejections and inward interactions (Q2 and Q3), which are associated with negative longitudinal velocity fluctuations, such that the fractional contribution of outward interactions (Q1) would become less significant. 相似文献

The bed material found in gravel-bed streams is nonuniform in terms of grain size and can typically be classified as unimodal or bimodal. The latter type of sediment distribution is usually represented by two modes, one of sand size and another of gravel. For this case, the movement of one mode becomes nonlinearly influenced by the other. As a result, the presence of the two modes in a bimodal material complicates the calculation of bed-load transport rates. The present study proposes an approach to separate the calculation of bed-load transport rates for bimodal materials into two independent fractions of sand and gravel, thereby rendering the bed sediment into two unimodal components. This approach is accomplished by decoupling the two fractions through scaling the reference Shields stresses of the sand and gravel modes to match the value of the mode of unimodal materials. Consequently, the contribution of each fraction to bed load can be estimated using a suitable relation derived for unimodal materials. Laboratory and field bed-load data available in the literature are used to examine the validity of the overall approach. 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

A model has been developed for the prediction of the density functions of bed-elevation and entrainment and deposition rates of sediment in sand bed streams within the lower regime flow condition. The model incorporates both statistical and deterministic parameters in its form. A total of 46 experimental runs have been carried out in a recirculating tilting flume under the equilibrium flow condition using three grain sizes of uniform gradation to validate the model and estimate its parameters. The model parameters are related to the hydraulic conditions of flow and fluid and sediment properties through dimensional and regression analyses. The study has shown that the density functions of bed elevation and entrainment and deposition rates can be approximated quite satisfactorily with the normal distribution curve. Transformation of the density functions into the standardized normal distribution curve provides a unique pattern for all the experimental runs regardless of the sediment grain size, flow condition, and shapes and dimensions of the bed forms. The developed density functions have been utilized to provide a closure for the probabilistic Exner equation for uniform sediment. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted over uniform gravel bed materials to obtain 143 friction factor values under bed-load equilibrium flow conditions in an attempt to add to the scarce data available on slopes between 1 and 9% for Shields numbers between 0.08 and 0.29. Analyses showed that when only flows over flat beds are considered, a distinction must be made between flows with and without bed load. More particularly, fitting flow resistance equations indicated that the roughness parameter increases by a factor of 2.5 from clear water flow to intense bed-load transport. Between these two states, the flow resistance can be approximated by a constant for a given slope. 相似文献

The dynamic behavior of bed-load sediment transport under unsteady flow conditions is experimentally and numerically investigated. A series of experiments are conducted in a rectangular flume (18?m in length, 0.80?m in width) with various triangular and trapezoidal shaped hydrographs. The flume bed of 8?cm in height consists of scraped uniform small gravel of D50 = 4.8??mm. Analysis of the experimental results showed that bed-load transport rates followed the temporal variation of the triangular and trapezoidal hydrographs with a time lag on the average of 11 and 30?s, respectively. The experimental data were also qualitatively investigated employing the unsteady-flow parameter and total flow work index. The analysis results revealed that total yield increased exponentially with the total flow work. An original expression which is based on the net acceleration concept was proposed for the unsteadiness parameter. Analysis of the results then revealed that the total yield increased exponentially with the increase in the value of the proposed unsteadiness parameter. Further analysis of the experimental results revealed that total flow work has an inverse exponential variation relation with the lag time. A one-dimensional numerical model that employs the governing equations for the conservation of mass for water and sediment and the momentum was also developed to simulate the experimental results. The momentum equation was approximated by the diffusion wave approach, and the kinematic wave theory approach was employed to relate the bed sediment flux to the sediment concentration. The model successfully simulated measured sedimentographs. It predicted sediment yield, on the average, with errors of 7% and 15% of peak loads for the triangular and trapezoidal hydrograph experiments, respectively. 相似文献

This study presents a novel, simple, but rather accurate approximation of the eigenvalues of the system formed by the Saint-Venant–Exner equations, based on the comparison between eigenvalues for the complete system and eigenvalues for the water phase only. Moreover, a strategy is proposed to compute efficiently the intercell fluxes by properly adapting a Harten, Lax, and van Leer scheme for each equation. Two examples of transient transcritical flows are developed: the erosive migration of a knickpoint induced by an increase in the bed slope, and the evolution of a hydraulic jump over a mobile bed. 相似文献

Probabilistic Behavior of Water-Quality Loads 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A theoretical model is introduced for describing the mechanistic and probabilistic structure of observations of streamflow Q, concentration C, and constituent loads L. The model has application to many water-quality management problems including load estimation, water-quality monitoring network design and total maximum daily load assessment. The statistical behavior of streamflow, concentration, and load is described and expressions are derived for the coefficient of variation of daily concentrations and loads assuming a bivariate lognormal model. The model provides a first-order approximation to continuous empirical observations of C, Q, and L from four watersheds in the Great Lakes Region. The utility of the model is demonstrated by quantifying the amount of “spurious” correlation between load and discharge, by documenting factors which influence bias in water-quality load estimates and those which give rise to increased/decreased variability in water-quality loads and concentrations. 相似文献

Comprehensive measurements of bed-load sediment transport through a section of the Danube River, located approximately 70?km downstream from Bratislava, Slovakia, are used to assess the accuracy of bed-load formulas implemented in 1D modeling. Depending on water discharge and water level, significant variations in the distribution of bed load across the section were observed. It appeared that, whatever the water discharge, the bed shear stress τ is always close to the estimated critical bed shear stress for the initiation of sediment transport τcr. The discussion focuses on the methods used in 1D models for estimating bed-load transport. Though usually done, the evaluation of bed-load transport using the mean cross-sectional bed shear stress yields unsatisfactory results. It is necessary to use an additional model to distribute the bed shear stress across the section and calculate bed load locally. Bed-load predictors also need to be accurate for τ close to τcr. From that point of view, bed-load formulas based on an exponential decrease of bed-load transport close to τcr appear to be more appropriate than models based on excess bed shear stress. A discussion on the bed-load formula capability to reproduce grain sorting is also provided. 相似文献

Stochastic bed load transport formulas for nonuniform sediment exist, but most of them do not account for the composition of surface material to predict fractional transport rate. This study transformed a surface-based bed-load transport predictor to a stochastic one by approximating the fluctuation of bed-shear stress with a standard log-normal distribution. The deterministic predictor underpredicts fractional transport rate at low values of bed-shear stress and Reynolds number. The modified stochastic predictor predicts fractional transport rate more accurately and converges to the deterministic one at high shear stresses. 相似文献

The extent to which turbulent structure is affected by bed-load transport is investigated experimentally using a nonporous fixed planar bed comprising mixed-sized granular sediment with a d50 of 1.95?mm. Three different sizes of sediment (d50 = 0.77, 1.99, and 3.96?mm) were fed into the flow at two different rates (0.003 and 0.006?kg/m/s), and subsequently transported as bed load. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to determine the turbulence characteristics over the fixed bed during clear water and sediment feed cases. Mean longitudinal flow velocities at any given depth were lower than their clear water counterparts for all but one of the mobile sediment cases. The exception was with the transport of fine grains at the higher feed rate. In this case, longitudinal mean flow velocities increased compared to the clear water condition. The coarse grains tended to augment bed roughness, but fine grains saturated the troughs and interstices in the bed topography, effectively causing the influence of bed irregularities to be smoothed. The PIV technique permitted examination of both temporal and spatial fluctuations in flow variables: therefore many results are presented in terms of double-averaged quantities (in temporal and spatial domains). In particular, the form-induced stress, which arises from spatially averaging the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations and is analogous to the Reynolds turbulent stress, contributed between 15 and 35% of the total measured shear stress in the roughness layer. Flow around protrusive roughness elements produced a significant proportion of the turbulent kinetic energy shear production, suggesting that this process is highly intermittent near rough beds. 相似文献
