Calculation of sediment flow in channels taking into account passing and counter wind waves
Аннотация
Abstract The article discusses the process of sediment transport in channels under the influence of wind waves on the course. Based on the calculation method Quick M.C. dependences are proposed for calculating sediment transport in channels when waves are superimposed on associated and counter-current flows. The movement of sediments caused by the combined action of waves and currents is studied. It is shown that the direction of the movement of sediments is determined mainly by the direction of wave propagation (even in the case of a counter-current). Here the consumption of sediments is proportional to the power of the “wave flow” system. Comparing the results of the calculation with the dependencies of other authors gives satisfactory results.
