Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 10 ft and transports water at 19,229 ft3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Δh term will be negative to account for the depression.
A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
Q: Water is flowing through an inclined aquifer (a=15°) as shown in the following figure. The depth of aquifer is H₁-3m. Two observation wells are constructed at 55m apart (S-55m) to reach the top of the aquifer. It is found that the head difference between the points, observation wells were constructed, is h=3m. (i) Find the flow rate in m³/s/m length (at right angles to the cross section shown) if k-0.05 cm/s.
