Course Objectives The aim is to provide students fundamental information on sediment transport process. It introduces the importance of sediment properties and fall velocity concept. The knowledge on bed form mechanics and resistance to flow is wanted to gain.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Classify nature of sediment problems.
  • Describe the origin and properties of sediment particles.
  • Identify suspended sediment, bed load and total load transport in streams.
  • Explain bed form mechanics and resistance to flow.
  • Explain the importance of sediment transport in rivers in terms of water structures.
Course Description In this course, general information about the properties of water and sediment is given. The course covers the principles of incipient motion criteria and applications, resistance to flow and bed forms, bed load suspended load and total load theories, reservoir sedimentation, special topics in sediment transport.
