Development of a Sediment Transport Model for Field Application

摘要

A numerical-empirical computational model is needed to investigate the sedimentation processes occurring in water resources systems. The basic mathematical modeling methodology for simulating the hydrodynamic as well as sedimentation phenomena has been advanced significantly. A series of 1-d, 2-d and 3-d numerical-empirical models has been developed. In the new project, all of these models are being improved and refined for field applications. Some of these models have been verified by the laboratory hydraulic models. In order to achieve the optimum cost-effectiveness, a mixed-dimensional model is to be assembled, which consists of all the models having been developed. The mixed-dimensional model is to be utilized in the investigation of a large water resources system. This most cost-effective model is to be completed and applied to study the sedimentation effect on water resources.
