Which of the following statement is not correct about sediment load phenomenon and its measurement?

(a) The material is kept in suspension by the turbulence or by the generation of eddies

(b) In laminar flow, the shear stress is caused due to the difference of the velocities at the top and the bottom

(c) In turbulent flow, momentum transfer is not very significant

(d) Due to the formation of eddies, the sediment transfer from high concentration regions to the low concentration regions takes place

Calculate the effective unit tractive force that causes bed load transportation if the unit tractive force produced by the flowing water is 3.20 N/m^2. The Manning’s coefficient on an unrippled bed is 0.0108 and the actual observed value of Manning’s coefficient on ripped channels is 0.0222. Take the value of critical shear stress that is required to move the grain particle as 0.5 N/m^2.

Calculate the corresponding hydraulic mean depth that would exist in the channel if the bed was unrippled. The rugosity coefficient in an unrippled channel is 0.015 and the rugosity coefficient actually observed by experiments on the rippled bed of channel is 0.020. Consider the value of hydraulic mean depth of the channel as 1.5 m.

Greg · Answer 1 · 2023-08-16T07:17:02+0000

The correct option is (c) In turbulent flow, momentum transfer is not very significant

The best I can explain: In turbulent flow, momentum transfer or mass exchange takes place due to the jumping of particles from higher velocity region to lower velocity region. Due to this transfer of momentum between two adjacent fluid layers, effective shear stress is caused at the interface between the layers.
