Sediment transport capacity of hyperconcentrated flow

Abstract: As one of the most important components of river mechanics, sediment transport capacity of sediment-laden flows has attracted much attention from many researchers working on river mechanics and hydraulic engineering. Based on the time-averaged equation for a turbulent energy equilibrium in solid and liquid two-phase flow, an expression for the efficiency coefficient of suspended load movement was derived for the two-dimensional, steady, uniform, fully-developed turbulent flow. A new structural expression of se… Show more

“…However, at the highest suspended sediment concentrations, a decrease in the bedload‐transport rates was observed and related to macroviscous effects. In a recent paper, Shu and Fei [, p. 973] explicitly state that the sediment‐transport capacity for a hyperconcentrated flow is “the total amount of sediments that water flow can carry” and developed a formula for sediment‐transport capacity of hyperconcentrated flow, in part based on Bagnold 's [] sediment‐transport efficiency model for suspended transport. Based on the equilibrium equation of turbulent kinetic energy for solid and liquid two‐phase flow, they obtained a structural formula for sediment‐transport capacity, which includes the flow viscosity and flowing resistance coefficient for hyperconcentrated flows: Sv*0.25em=0.25emp0.25emfμrκ2()fm81.5γmγsγmU3gRvN where S v * is the sediment concentration at capacity (m 3 m −3 ); p is an empirically determined coefficient (−); μ r is fluid viscosity (Pa s); f m is a coefficient of resistance (−); γ m is the specific gravity of the flow (kg m −1 s ‐2 ); γ s is the specific gravity of the sediment (kg m −1 s −2 ); U is vertical mean flow velocity (m s −1 ); R is hydraulic radius (m); N is an empirically defined coefficient (−). …”

“…Non-homogeneous debris flows are characterized by a wide grain size gradation, high volumetric weight, and non-uniformity of both the flow resistance and velocity (Fei and Shu 2004). They behave in a way similar to the properties of the solid-liquid two-phase flows with high sediment transport capacity (Shu and Fei 2008). Furthermore, the deposition, cross-flow, scouring and striking of non-homogeneous debris flows cause a great deal of damage to the local resident and surrounding environment.…”

“…The mean annual discharge of the river is 58 billion m 3 and river flows are strongly seasonal: highest in autumn and lowest in winter. The annual distribution of sediment discharge is concentrated in the summer-flood season with a historical maximum load of 1,600 kg m -3 (1958, recorded at Wenjiachuan) and mean annual sediment transport of 1,600 million tones (Shu and Fei, 2008). The mean annual sediment concentration is 35 kg m -3 (recorded at Sanmenxia).…”
