Experimental and numerical study of sediment transport phenomenon

Because of simplicity and reasonable results that can be obtained by one dimensional solution, the use of these predictions are increasing. In this research, one dimensional solution for sediment transport phenomenon by finite volume method is proposed. Depending to the sensitivity of the solution, sediment transport equations solved by implicit and explicit schemes. Furthermore, kinematic and dynamic wave models were used in the one dimensional unsteady sediment transport. Moreover, equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases were taken into consideration. Meanwhile, explicit and implicit approaches were introduced. Finally, the numerical results were compared with the experimental findings.
