A Vertical 2-D Numerical Simulation of Suspended Sediment Transport

Developing Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Modelling on Lakes: A Preliminary Study

“…Wu and Li [31], Zahng and Liu [32], Zeng et al [33], and Liu and Shen [34] succeed in developing numerical model and hydrodynamic engineering for sediment transport. Liu and Shen [34] develop a simulation of three-dimensional turbulent modelling.…”

Developing a 2D vertical flow and sediment transport model for open channels using the Youngs-VOF method

“…The RMSEs in terms of sediment concentration at points A and B were relatively big. However, the overall trend of computed and measured results showed a pleasing fi t. The discrepancies that do exist are mainly due to a disregard (in the model) of the eff ects of the side walls (Zhang and Liu, 2007), and the selection of parameters such as roughness.…”

“…Flow and sediment transport in open channels are key research topics in hydrodynamic engineering, and several numerical models have been successfully developed in this regard (van Rijn and Tan, 1985;Brørs, 1999;Wu et al, 2000;Shen et al, 2003aShen et al, , b, 2008Liang et al, 2005;Wu and Li, 2007;Zhang and Liu, 2007;Zeng et al, 2008;Liu and Shen., 2010). Usually, fl ow and sediment transport are considered to be three-dimensional phenomena, and 3D turbulent models are developed to simulate them (Wu et al, 2000;Shen et al, 2002Shen et al, , 2003aShen et al, , b, 2004Shen et al, , 2008Zeng et al, 2008;Liu and Shen, 2010).…”

“…Recently, most 2DV models for fl ow and sediment transport have been developed using the σ -coordinate system (Brørs, 1999;Liang et al, 2005;Wu and Li, 2007;Zhang and Liu, 2007). These models do quite well in simulating hydrodynamics at the bed boundary, but their governing equations are complex and incompetent to deal with the free surface in strong nonlinear fl ow situations.…”

Construction Diversion Risk Assessment for Hydropower Development on Sediment-Rich Rivers

“…Thus, the applicability of commonly-used sediment research methods on diversion related research under the engineering scenario should be analyzed. Among sediment research approaches: (1) numerical simulation can comprehensively predict the sediment accumulation basing on parameters in terms of sediment and flow [40,[45][46][47], but it generally requires detailed data, specific models for specific conditions [46,[48][49][50], and has application restrictions of computation and application [47,51,52]; (2) physical model experiments have advantages in customization and credibility, but have time and economic costs that are adaptable to the specific project [53]; and (3) empirical formulas are fundamental descriptions about sediment based on observed data and experiments [42,43,54,55], which are convenient in application, as only primary data in terms of hydrology and sediment are required.…”
