Prediction Methods
Publication: Navigation Channel Sedimentation Solutions
Abstract
Channel sedimentation responses to the solutions can be predicted by numerous methods grouped into four general approaches: field observations, desktop analyses, physical models, and numerical models. These approaches vary in terms of data requirements, complexity, reliability, applicability, cost, and time requirements. Field observations provide insight into the physical processes of sedimentation and data for desktop analyses, physical modeling, and numerical modeling. Bed material gradation data provide key input for sedimentation studies. Past dredging volumes, identified by time and channel reach, provide useful data for validating prediction methods and establishing rough relationships between deposition volumes and environmental events such as storms and floods. Desktop approaches – using equations and principles that can be solved without automated numerical methods – represent the simplest methods for estimating sedimentation rates and can be applied relatively efficiently. Physical models are designed by enforcing the scaling of one or a series of dimensionless relationships between the model and prototype.
