This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in
surface waters. It covers sediment properties, open channel flows,
sediment particle settling, incipient motion, bed forms, bed load,
suspended load, total load, cohesive sediments, water-sediment
two-phase flows, hyperconcentrated flows, debris flows,
wave-induced sediment transport, turbidity currents, and physical
modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation, this
book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves
and currents in coasts and estuaries, hyperconcentrated and debris
flows in rivers, as well as turbidity currents in lakes,
reservoirs, channels, and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the
water-sediment two-phase flow theory, which is considered the basis
of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special
topics have that emerged in recent years, such as the transport of
mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments, biofilm-coated sediments,
and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges
classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various
sources in English and non-English literature and includes
important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from
all over the world. It balances the breadth, depth, fundamental
importance, practical applicability, and future advancement of the
covered knowledge, and can be used as a text and reference book.
The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching
purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared, which also
highlight the important topics for instructors to select. Solutions
to homework problems are available from the author by request.
