Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and/or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Sediment transport occurs in natural systems where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay; the fluid is air, water, or ice; and the force of gravity acts to move the particles along the sloping surface on which they are resting. Sediment transport due to fluid motion occurs in rivers, oceans, lakes, seas, and other bodies of water due to currents and tides. Transport is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and on terrestrial surfaces under the influence of wind. Sediment transport due only to gravity can occur on sloping surfaces in general, including hillslopes, scarps, cliffs, and the continental shelf—continental slope boundary.

supercritical flow.
The deeper, low velocity flow above the dam cannot move the coarse bedload (Q

Sediment Scour and Transport | FLOW-3D HYDRO
FLOW-3D HYDRO's sediment transport model can be used to evaluate scour and deposition, where three-dimensional flow components are driving the scouring process. FLOW-3D HYDRO’s hydrodynamic model solves the full unsteady non-hydrostatic Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations that describe the flow physics. All empirical relationships used in bedload, entrainment and settling processes are fully customizable, and up to 10 different sediment species can be defined.

As the clip opens you see shallow flow with uniform bedmaterial transport
throughout. A small low head wier or dam is installed. This produces deep
subcritical flow above the dam and critical flow over it. Below the dam we see
supercritical flow.
The deeper, low velocity flow above the dam cannot move the coarse bedload (Q
= VA, and since A is greatly increased and Q is unchanged above the dam, V is
greatly decreased) and we see deposition occur until depth is shallow enough
(and A small enough) that the increase in V moved bedload again. Deposition
occurs to the top of the dam.
When the dam is installed, we see a classic disruption in sediment transport
continuity. Coarse transport essentially ceases through the dam until deposition
builds a higher streambed. Sediment is blown out below the dam (often scoured
to bedrock in the real world) This is the well known “hungry water” effect seen
below dams.
At low-water crossings in the Missouri Ozarks, many of which are essentially low
dams, we often see this condition, manifested as a wide, sediment-filled channel
with low banks upstream of the bridge. This contrasts with a deep, scoured
channel below, sometimes with high, unstable banks.
At the end of the demonstration, the downstream gate is lowered and a hydraulic
jump appears which is then drowned as stage increases. The depositional dune
and slipface then move past the dam. The gate is then raised somewhat,
allowing a jump to reform and sediment is blown out below the dam.

****Description**** Webinar number 101
This webinar explores the requirements and challenges associated with sediment transport and morphological modelling in 2D and 3D hydrodynamic models.
Learn more about sediment transport modelling with 2D and 3D models and see some of the bench marking and applications including river mouth scour and morphology, dredge plume modelling, river bed armouring and sorting and siltation.
Rivers, estuaries and coasts each exhibit widely varied flow and/or wave conditions that influence sediment characteristics and transport rates as a combination of bed and suspended load. As sediment is eroded/scoured, transported and deposited bed morphological changes can result in feedback loops that influence flow behaviour. Some of these transport behaviours can be well represented with 2D models, others benefit from a 3D approach.
When compared to hydraulic or hydrodynamic modelling in isolation, the addition of sediment transport modelling can be a little daunting. Additional data requirements and techniques are required for model setup, simulation and model verification and these needs vary with environment and project application.
TUFLOW’s sediment transport module is a multiple fraction (mixed cohesive, non-cohesive, i.e. sands silts, clays and muds in the one model), multi-bed-layer sediment transport and coupled hydrodynamic-morphological model. It has been used extensively for the simulation of sediment transport in creeks, rivers, estuaries, coastal and ocean environments allowing:
- Sediment transport due to currents and/or wave driven processes
- Morphological evolution and feedback on hydrodynamics
- Multiple sediment fractions, including mixed cohesive and non-cohesive sediments (sands silts, clays and muds in the one model)
- Sediment exchange between the water column and seabed (deposition and erosion)
- Advection and diffusion of suspended sediment (2D or 3D)
- Flocculation and hindered settling
- Bed layer consolidation
- Bed load transport, bed slumping and armouring processes
- For 3D baroclinic simulations sediment can be taken into consideration to influence density.
The implementation of our sediment transport module allows the user a high level of control over sediment characteristics. Within a single model run, sediment fraction groups can be assigned as cohesive or non-cohesive. There is also the added flexibility of selecting a range of common sediment transport models/equations independently for each fraction.
