1. Reynolds Number (Re) Re = R = A/P V = mean velocity  /  =  (which is kinematic viscosity) Re = VR(  /  ), where Driving Forces Resisting Force Re < 500 Laminar Flow Re > 750 Turbulent Flow

2. Flow Types Laminar: –Water particles move along paths that do not disrupt the movement of neighboring particles. –Most resistance is caused by intermolecular viscous forces. –Resistance is  velocity Turbulent Flow –Water particles move in all directions and velocity constantly fluctuates –Most resistance is generated along channel perimeter; related to channel shape, particle size, and concentration. –Resistance is  square of velocity

3. Manning Equation Describes Flow and Resistance in Open Channels V = 1.49/n(R 2/3 )(S 1/2 ) n = Manning’s roughness Coefficient Slope = water surface slope Assumes English units.

5. Sediment Transport Terminology Entrainment: the processes that initiate the motion of a particle. Competence: the size of the largest particle a stream can entrain under any give set of hydraulic conditions. Capacity: the maximum amount of sediment that the stream can carry given the current hydraulic conditions. Load: amount of sediment that is actually carried by the stream. Sediment discharge: time rate of movement through a cross-section (weight/time; tons/day)

6. Load Types Classification Based on Mode of Transport Suspended Load: Particles transported mainly or entirely in suspension through the supporting action of turbulence. Bedload: Sediment which moves by skipping, sliding, and rolling along the channel bed. Remains within a few grain diameters of the channel bed.

7. Load Types Classification Based on Bottom Sediment Characteristics Wash Load: Particles so fine that they are not found in appreciable amounts in the channel bed. Bed Material Load: Particle sizes that are found in great quantities in the stream bed. – Most bed material load is actually transported in suspension.

10. Methods Used to Describe Entrainment Critical Bed Velocity –Impact or momentum of the water mass on the exposed part of the particle. –6th power law: Size of particle entrained increases with the 6th power of the velocity. –Very difficult to measure Velocity (V) Water 

11. Methods Used to Describe Entrainment Critical Tractive Force –Dragging force is exerted on the exposed part of the particle. – =  DS (Duboy’s Equation) –Fairly Easy to measure Depth (D) Water Surface Slope (S)
