Vertical Sediment Distribution
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 117, Issue 9
Abstract
SO far, various calculation models for the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration have been produced by several investigators from different theories. The limitations of all these models imply that it is possible to find a more reasonable model, for which each previous model can be included as special case. The formulation of a reasonable general model is the purpose of this paper.
