Transport modes 3
of sediment
The hydraulic parameters for a river are given with following data : water depth h=12.5m,energy
gradient I=0.000076,mean velocity Ū=1.55m/s .The bed material characteristics are d50=400µm,
d90=1500µm , ρs =2650kg/m ,ρ =1000 kg/m3 and v=10-6m2/s .
a. Use the Rouse concentration profile and reference concentration of Van Rijn to compute
the sediment concentrations at z = 0.55, 1.59, 3.63, 6.62, 9.39 and 10.95 m above the bed?
b. Compute the suspended load transport according to Bagnold and Van Rijn?
c. Compute the total load transport according to Eugelund-Hasen ,and Van Rijn

Suspension number
(𝜅=0.4 and Co=0.65) 𝑍` = 𝑍 + 𝜓, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝜓 =0.1
Where
𝜔𝑆 2 𝜓 is stratification correction parameter
𝛽 =1+2 = 1.47
𝑢∗ Z`is modified suspension number
According Van Rijn Reference 𝝎𝒔 Z is suspension number
Z= = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟐
Concentration level a=ks=0.21m 𝜷𝜿𝒖∗
h is depth of flow
Z`=0.82+0.1=0.92
T is dimensionless bed shear parameter
= 0.0008 F dimensionless shape factor
𝝎𝒔 is fall velocity
Ca is reference volume concentration
a is reference level above mean bed
= 𝜷 is ratio of sediment and fluid mixing

Ū is depth average velocity

qs= Ca ūhF=2.3Kg/sm
