solid discharge - Opis:
- Some preliminary results of measurements of one-dimensional sediment transport on a flat bed are presented. Image processing was applied to measure the time evolution of the areal concentration and the velocity of transported grains in a series of bed-load tests with values of the bed shear stress up to twice the threshold for incipient motion. The concentration and velocity data were used to compute the time evolution of the solid discharge per unit width. It was found, as expected, that the sediment transport is an episodic phenomenon, particularly at low shear stress; visualization of the moving particles allows recognition of the existence of longitudinal streaks, that can be more clearly observed when the sediment rate is weaker. The first and second order statistics of sediment concentration and velocity and solid discharge have been analyzed; the mean and standard deviation of the quantities increase as the transport intensity increases, while the coefficient of variation decreases. The ranges of variation of all the time-averaged quantities with the mean sediment rate are narrower if the zero values of the samples are disregarded prior to calculating the statistics; the coefficient of variation is almost constant. The solid discharge data samples were analyzed in the amplitude domain, by calculating the Cumulative Frequency Distributions; it was found that the shape of the CFDs computed with reference to the non-zero values of the sediment rate alone is self-similar regardless of the transport intensity.
