Velocity and Concentration Distribution of Turbidity Currents
Rajashree Lodh | International Journal of Water Resources Engineering | Vol 10, Issue 2 | pp. 15-22 | ISSN: 2456-1606
Abstract
Abstract This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the velocity and concentration characteristics within turbidity currents, focusing on detailed evaluations of the hydrodynamic and sediment transport properties. The investigation includes separate calculations for the velocity and concentration distributions within the near-boundary and jet regions, allowing for an in-depth comparison between these distinct flow areas. By computing dimensionless profiles of both velocity and concentration, the study offers a visual representation of flow behaviors and sediment patterns, which are essential for understanding the stability and transport dynamics of turbidity currents. Additionally, the modified equations derived in this analysis are shown to align closely with experimental data and previous research findings, demonstrating an improved accuracy over other models. These results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed modifications in predicting turbidity current behaviors, offering valuable insights for environmental and engineering applications, particularly in sediment-laden flows.
