  2. Development of Sediment Transport Formulae • Empirical formulae developed for bedload, suspended load and total sediment transport rate using laboratory and field data. • They are based on hydraulic and sediment conditions – Water depth, velocity, slope and average sand diameter etc. • There can be significant differences between predicted and measured sediment transport rates, WHY? 2

  3. Development of Sediment Transport Formulae con’t • These differences are due to change in: • - Water temperature, • - Effect of fine sediment, • - Bed roughness, • - Armouring, and • - Inherent difficulties in measuring total sediment discharge. • Use of most appropriate formula based on the availability of conditions, experience and knowledge of the engineer. 3

  4. 1. Bedload Formula – Meyer-Peter & Müller (1948) Valid for D > 3.0mm Where D is average sand diameter Critical Shields Parameter = 0.047 Sediment Flow Rate m3/s/m The Shields diagram empirically shows how the dimensionless critical shear stress required for the initiation of motion is a function of a particular form of the particle Reynolds number, Rep or Reynolds number related to the particle. 4

  5. Application of Meyer-Peter & Müller Formula (1948) A river of width 40.0m, depth 4.0m and bed slope 0.00028 carries a discharge of 400m3/s. If the river boundary has a typical grain diameter, D50=10.0mm (s= 2650kg/m3), assuming a rectangular cross-section, estimate the sediment transport rate using Meyer-Peter and Műller formula. 5
