Course
Description:
This 5-day course is intended to provide fundamentals and describe basic techniques available for determining resistance to flow and sediment transport, primarily in sand channel stream. Exercises will be conducted using a mathematical model of sediment transport and scour, fill, and bottom sediment composition accounting for networks of one-dimensional channels. The model is useful for predicting erosion and deposition in channels with narrow reseviors after dam removal, for certain bridge scour situations, and for general sediment routing problems. It is accessed from a Windows-PC graphical user interface. Lectures are oriented towards explanation of processes simulated by the model. |
