    Under equilibrium conditions the dimensionless entrainment rate E is equal to

    the near-bed average concentration of suspended sediment! We can:

    Obtain empirical relation for E versus boundary shear stress for equilibrium

    conditions.

    With luck, the relation can be applied to conditions that are not too strongly

    disequilibrium.

    THE STRATEGY contd.

    For equilibrium open-channel suspensions,

    1. Determine a position z = b near the bed and measure the volume concentration

    of suspended sediment averaged over turbulence there. Note that the

    definition of b is peculiar to each researcher, but in general b/H

    Smith and McLean (1977) offer the following entrainment relation.

    The reference height is evaluated at what the authors describe as the top of the

    bedload layer; where ksdenotes the Nikuradse roughness height,

    The authors give no guidance for the choice of bc. It is suggested here that it

    might be computed as bc=RgDc*, where c* is given by the Brownlie (1981) fit

    to the Shields relation:

    ENTRAINMENT RELATIONS FOR UNIFORM MATERIAL

    Garcia and Parker (1991) reviewed seven entrainment relations andrecommended three of these; Smith and McLean (1977), van Rijn (1984) and

    (surprise surprise) Garcia and Parker (1991).

    ENTRAINMENT RELATIONS FOR UNIFORM MATERIAL contd.

    The entrainment relation of van Rijn (1984) takes the form

    The reference level b is set as follows:

    b = 0.5 b, where b= average bedform height, when known;

    b = the larger of the Nikuradse roughness height ksor 0.01 H

    when bedforms are absent or bedform height is notknown.

    The critical Shields number can be evaluated with the Brownlie (1981) fit to

    the Shields curve:

    Garcia and Parker (1991) use a reference height b = 0.05 H;

    Wright and Parker (2004) found that the relation of Garcia and Parker

    (1991) performs well for laboratory flumes and small to medium sand-bed

    streams, but does not perform well for large, low-slope streams. Wright

    and Parker (2004) have thus amended the relationship to cover this latter

    range as well Again the reference height b = 0.05 H. This corrects Garcia

    and Parker to cover large, low-slope streams:

    Garcia and Parker (1991) generalized their relation to sediment mixtures. Therelation for mixtures takes the form

    where Fidenotes the fractions in the surface layer and denotes the arithmetic

    standard deviation of the bed sediment on the scale. The reference height b is

    again equal to 0.05 H.

    Wright and Parker (2004) amended the above relation so as to apply to large,

    low-slope sand bed rivers as well as the types previously considered by Garcia

    and Parker (1991). The relation is the same as that of Garcia and Parker (1991)

    REYNOLDS FLUX OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT

    The terms denote convective Reynolds fluxesof suspended

    sediment. They characterize the tendency of turbulence to mix suspended

    sediment from zones of high concentration to zones of low concentration, i.e.

    down the gradient of mean concentration. In the case illustrated below

    concentration declines in the positive z direction; turbulence acts to mix the

    sediment from the zone of high concentration (low z) to the zone of low

    concentration (high z).

    REYNOLDS FLUX OF STREAMWISE MOMENTUM

    The shear stress , or equivalently the Reynolds flux ofstreamwise (x) momentum in the upward (z) direction characterizes the tendency of

    turbulence to transport streamwise momentum from high concentration to low. In the

    case of open channel flow, the source for streamwise momentum is the downstream

    gravity force term gS. This momentum must be fluxed downwardtoward the bed

    and exited from the system (where the loss of momentum is manifested as a

    resistive force balancing the downstream pull of gravity) in order

    REPRESENTATION OF REYNOLDS FLUX WITH AN EDDY DIFFUSIVITY

    The concentration of any quantity in a flow is the quantity per unit volume. Thusthe concentration of streamwise momentum in the flow is u and the volume

    concentration of suspended sediment is c. The tendency for turbulence to mix

    any quantity down its concentration gradient (from high concentration to low

    concentration) can be represented in terms of a kinematic eddy diffusivity:

    Reynolds flux of suspended sediment in the z direction:

    Reynolds flux of streamwise momentum in the z direction:

    EQUILIBRIUM VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT

    According to the Reynolds analogy, turbulence transfers any quantity, whether itbe momentum, heat, energy, sediment mass, etc. in the same fundamental way.

    While it is an approximation, it is a good one over a relatively wide range of

    conditions. As a result, the following estimate is made for the eddy diffusivity of

    sediment:

    For steady flows that are uniform in the x and z directions maintaining a

    suspension that is similarly steady and uniform, the equation of conservation of

    suspended sediment reduces to

    EQUILIBRIUM SUSPENSIONS contd.

    The balance equation of suspended sediment thus becomes

    This equation can be integrated under the condition of vanishing net sediment

    flux in the z direction at the water surface to yield the result

    i.e. the upward flux of suspended driven by turbulence from high concentration

    (near the bed) to low concentration (near the water surface) is perfectly balanced

    by the downward flux of suspended sediment under its own fall velocity. The

    Reynolds flux F can be related to the gradient of the mean concentration as

    SOLUTION FOR THE ROUSE-VANONI PROFILE

    The balance equation is:

    The boundary condition on this equation is a specified upward flux, or

    entrainment rate of sediment into suspension at the bed:

    Rouse (1939) solved this problem and obtained the following result,

    REFERENCE LEVEL

    The reference level cannot be taken as zero. This is because turbulence cannot

    persist all the way down to a solid wall (or sediment bed). No matter whether the

    boundary is hydraulically rough or smooth, essentially laminar effects must

    dominate right near the wall (bed).

    It is for this reason that the logarithmic velocity law

    yields a value for of - at z = 0. The point of vanishing velocity is reached at z

    = ks/30. Since the eddy diffusivity from which the profile of suspended sediment

    is computed was obtained from the logarithmic profile, it follows that cannot be

    computed down to z = 0 either. The entrainment boundary condition must be

    applied at z = b ks/30.

    CLASSICAL CASE OF DISEQUILIBRIUM SUSPENSION: THE 1D PICKUP

    PROBLEM

    Consider a case where sediment-free equilibrium open-channel flow over a rough,

    non-erodible bed impinges on an erodible bed offering the same roughness.

    H

    ri id bed erodible bed

    cu

    The flow can be considered quasi-steady over time spans shorter than that by

    which significant bed degradation occurs.

    The flow but not the suspended sediment profile can be considered to be at

    equilibrium.

    Should the formulation be

    with E computed based on local flow conditions, or

    with qscomputed from the quasi-equilibrium relation

    applied to local flow conditions?

    The answer depends on the characteristic length L of the phenomenon of interest

    (one meander wavelength, length of alluvial fan etc.) compared to the adaptation

    length Lsrequired for the flow to reach a quasi-equilibrium suspension. If L < Lsthe former formulation should be used. If L > Lsthe latter formulation can be used.

    INPUT VARIABLES FOR Rte-bookSuspSedDensityStrat.xls

    The first step in using the workbook is to input the parameters R+1 (sedimentspecific gravity), D (grain size), H (flow depth), kc(composite roughness height

    including effect of bedforms, if any), u(shear velocity) and (kinematic viscosity

    of water). When bedforms are absent, the composite roughness height kcis

    equal to the grain roughness ks. In the presence of bedforms, kcis predicted from

    one of the relations of Chapter 9 and the equations

    The user must then click a button to clear any old output. After this step, the user

    is presented with a choice. Either the near-bed concentration of suspended

    sediment can be specified by the user, or it can be calculated from the Garcia-

    Parker (1991) entrainment relation. In the former case, a value for must be

    input. In the latter case, a value for the shear velocity due to skin friction usmustbe input. It follows that in the latter case uscan be predicted using one of the

    relations of Chapter 9.

    Once either of these options are selected and the appropriate data input, a click

    of a button performs the iterative calculation for concentration and velocity

    profiles. Note: the iterative scheme may not always converge!
