Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

A very wide rectangular channel is designed to carry a discharge of 5 m³/s per meter width. The design is based on the Manning's equation with the roughness coefficient obtained from the grain size using Strickler's equation and results in a normal depth of 1.0 m. By mistake, however, the engineer used the grain diameter in mm in the Strickler's equation instead of in meter. What should be the correct normal depth? (a) 0.32 m (c) 2.00 m (b) 0.50 m (d) 3.20 m
A contracted from the two ends sharp-crested weir is installed in a channel and has a crest heigh of 7.2 m and a crest effective length of 4 m. The discharge coefficient (Cd) is 1.81. At design flow, a 1.1 m static head develops upstream of the weir. Determine the crest height of a non- contracted-90°-V-notch (replacement) weir with Cd =2 that would discharge the same design flow rate without raising the upstream flow depth in the channel. Y
