3. Consider the velocity profile of a river shown in the table at a discharge Q = 24 m3/s, a width
W = 52 m, and depth 1.5 m. The friction slope is about 10 cm/km and the bed material is very
coarse gravel. Assume steady uniform turbulent flow, kinematic viscosity ν = 10-6 m2/s,
water density ρ = 1000 kg/m3, and κ = 0.4. From measured velocity profile estimate the
following parameters:
(a) shear velocity; (b) bed shear stress (c) elevation of zero velocity (e) Chezy’s coefficient

For the above given data select appropriate sediment transport formula and determine the total
anuual (per year) sand treansport of the river (assume normal flow for the two discharges).

If pores are not considered the E&H formula would have 20 in the denominator
instead of 12, therefore please calculate the example using the criteria without pores.
7. 1. A sediment transporting river with an approximately rectangular cross section has a mean
flow of 125 m3/s. The average width and depth of the river is 20 m and 5 m, respectively.
Bed material median grain size is 2 mm, d90 = 8 mm, and slope I = 0.1m/km. The water
temperature is 20oC. Other data are: ρs = 2650 kg/m3, ρ = 103 kg/m3, ν = 10-6 m2/s. Use
ω = 1.48.
Calculate the bed load sediment transport along the bottom.
