FILLING OF A DREDGE SLOT IN A SAND-BED RIVERThe Mississippi River must be dredged in order to maintain a depth sufficient for navigation. In addition, gravel and sand are mined for industrial purposes on Grey Cloud Island adjacent to the river. Now suppose that a) gravel and sand mining is extended to a dredge slot between the island and the main navigation channel and b) the main channel subsequently avulses (jumps) into the dredge slot. How would the river evolve subsequently?

MORPHODYNAMICS OF DREDGE SLOT EVOLUTIONIn the modeling performed here, the following form of the Exner equation of sediment continuity is used:
where = bed elevation, qt = total volume bed material load transport rate per unit width, qb = volume bedload transport rate per unit width and qs = volume bed material suspended load transport rate per unit width. Here qs is computed based on the assumption of quasi-steady flow. An alternative formulation from Chapter 4 is, however,
where is the near-bed concentration of suspended sediment, E is the dimensionless rate of entrainment of suspended sediment from the bed and vs denotes the fall velocity of the sediment. That is, vs denotes the volume rate of deposition of suspended sediment per unit area per unit time on the bed, and vsE denotes the corresponding volume rate of entrainment of sediment intosuspension from the bed per unit area per unit time.

ALTERNATIVE ENTRAINMENT FORMULATION FOR EXNERIf the alternative formulation for conservation of bed sediment
is used, then a) the quasi-steady form of the equation of conservation of suspended sediment, i.e.
must be solved simultaneously, and in addition the above relations must be closed by relating to C. For example, writing = roC, the following quasi-steady evalution is obtained from the material of Chapter 10:
This alternative formulation is not used here. The reasons for this are explained toward the end of the chapter.

BEDLOAD TRANSPORT AND ENTRAINMENT RELATIONSAn appropriate relation for bedload transport in sand-bed streams is that of Ashida and Michiue (1972) introduced in Chapter 7. Where bs denotes the boundary shear stress due to skin friction and
the relation takes the form
An appropriate relation for the entrainment of sand into suspension is that of Wright and Parker (2004) introduced in Chapter 10:

RELATION FOR SUSPENDED SEDIMENT TRANSPORT RATEThe method of Chapter 10, which is strictly for equilibrium flows, is hereby extended to gradually varied flows. A backwater calculation generates the depth H, the friction slope Sf and the depth due to skin friction Hs everywhere. Once these parameters are known, the parameters u* = (gHSf)1/2, Cz = U/u*, kc = 11H/[exp(Cz)], u*s = (gHsSf)1/2 and E can be computed everywhere.
The volume transport rate per unit width of suspended sediment is thus computed as
where
In the case of the Wright-Parker formulation, b = 0.05.

CALCULATION OF GRADUALLY VARIED FLOW IN SAND-BED RIVERS INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF BEDFORMS
The backwater equation presented in Chapter 5 is

dxdH
Fr
where H denotes depth, x denotes downstream distance, S is bed slope and Sf is friction slope. In addition the Froude number Fr = qw/(g1/2H3/2) where qw is the water discharge per unit width and g is the acceleration of gravity. The friction slope can be defined as follows:
In a sand-bed river, the boundary shear stress b and depth H can be divided into components due to skin friction bs and Hs and form drag due to dunes bf and Hf so

GRADUALLY VARIED FLOW IN SAND-BED RIVERS WITH BEDFORMS contd.As shown in Chapter 9, the formulation for Wright and Parker (2004) for gradually varied flow over a bed covered with dunes reduces to the form
for skin friction and the form
for form drag. Reducing the above equation using the friction slope Sf rather than bed slope S in order to be able to capture quasi-steady flow,
If H, qw, Ds50, Ds90 and R are known, Hs and Sf can be calculated iteratively from the above equations. Note that a stratification correction in the first equationabove (specified in Wright and Parker, 2004) has been set equal to unity for simplicity in the present calculation.

LIMITS TO THE WRIGHT-PARKER FORMULATIONThe ratio s of bed shear stress due to skin friction to total bed shear stress can be defined as
Now by definition s must satisfy the condition s ≤ 1 (skin friction must not exceed total friction). The following equation for s is obtained from the Wright-Parker relation:
For any given value of Froude number Fr, it is found that a minimum Shields number min* exists, below which s > 1. In order to include values * < min*, the relation must be amended to:

This equation cannot be solved explicitly. It can, however, be solved implicitly using, for example the Newton-Raphson technique. Let p = 1, 2, 3… be an index, and let min,p* be an estimate of the root of the above equation. A better estimate is min,p+1*, where

NOTE OF CAUTION CONCERNING THE NEWTON-RAPHSON SCHEMEThere always seems to be a first guess of s for which the Newton-Raphson scheme
converges. When nom* is only slightly greater than min* (in which case s is only slightly less than 1), however, the right initial guess is sometimes hard to find. For example, the scheme may bounce back and forth between two values of s without converging, or may yield at some point a negative value of s, in which case Sf cannot be computed from the first equation at the bottom of Slide 17.
The following technique was adopted to overcome these difficulties in the programs presented in this chapter.
1. The initial guess for s is set equal to 0.92. Whenever the iterative scheme yields a negative value of s, s is reset to 1.02 and
the iterative calculation recommenced.3. Whenever the calculation does not converge, it is assumed that s is so close to 1
that it can be set equal to 1.
These issues can be completely avoided by using the bisection method rather than the Newton-Raphson method for computing s. The bisection method,however, is rather slow to converge.

APPLICATION TO BACKWATER CALCULATIONS
Let the water discharge qw, the grain sizes Ds50 and Ds90 and the submerged specific gravity R be specified. In addition the upstream and downstream bed elevations i-1 and i are known, along with the downstream depth Hi. The downstream values Hs,i and Sf,i are computed in accordance with the procedures of the previous three slides.

CALCULATION OF NORMAL DEPTH FROM GIVEN VALUES OFqw, D, R and S
The calculations for the morphodynamic response to a dredge slot begin with a computation of the normal flow conditions prevailing in the absence of the dredge slot. It is assumed that the water discharge per unit width qw, bed slope S, sediment grain size D and sediment submerged specific gravity R are given parameters. The parameters H and Hs associated with normal flow are to be computed.
The governing equations are the same as the first two of Slide 17, except that Sf = S at normal flow.

CALCULATION OF NORMAL DEPTH AND BACKWATER CURVE: INTRODUCTION TO RTe-bookBackwaterWrightParker.xls
All three iterative schemes (i.e. for min*; Sf and Hs; and normal depth Hn). are implemented in this workbook. The user specifies a flow discharge Qw, a channel width B, a median grain size D50, a grain size D90 such that 90% of the bed material is finer, a sediment submerged specific gravity R and a (constant) bed slope S. Clicking the button “Click to compute normal depth” allows for computation of the normal depth Hn.
Downstream bed elevation is set equal to 0, so that at normal conditions the downstream water surface elevation d = Hn. The user may then specify a value of d that differs from Hn (as long as the corresponding downstream Froude number is less than unity), and compute the resulting backwater curve by clicking the button “Click to compute backwater curve”.
The program generates a plot of bed and water surface elevations and versus streamwise distance, as well as a plot of depth H and depth due to skin friction Hs versus streamwise distance.

CALCULATION OF DREDGE SLOT EVOLUTION: INTRODUCTION TORTe-bookDredgeSlotBW.xls
The Excel workbook RTe-bookDredgeSlotBW.xls implements the formulation given in the previous slides for the case of filling of a dredge slot. The code used in RTe-bookBackwaterWrightParker.xls is also used in RTe-bookDredgeSlotBW.xls.
The code first computes the equilibrium normal flow values of depth H, depth due to skin friction Hs and volume bed load and bed material suspended load transport rates per unit width qb and qs for given values of flood water discharge Qw, flood intermittency If, channel width B, bed sediment sizes D50 and D90 (both assumed constant), sediment submerged specific gravity R and (constant) bed slope S.
A dredge slot is then excavated at time t = 0. The hole has depth Hslot, width B and length (rd - ru)L, where L is reach length, ruL is the upstream end of the dredge slot. and rdL is the downstream end of the dredge slot. Once the slot is excavated, it is allowed to fill without further excavation. Specification of the bed porosity p, the number of spatial intervals M, the time step t, the number of steps to printout Mtoprint, the number of printout after the one corresponding to the initial bed Mprint and the upwinding coefficient au completes the input.

TRAPPING OF WASH LOAD A sufficiently deep dredge slot can capture wash load (e.g. material finer than 62.5 m) as well as bed material load. As long as the dredge slot is sufficiently deep to prevent re-entrainment of wash load, the rate at which wash load fills the slot can be computed by means of a simple settling model.
Let Cwi = concentration of wash load in the ith grain size range, and vswi = characteristic settling velocity for that range. Wash load has a nearly constant concentration profile in the vertical, so that ro 1. Neglecting re-entrainment, the equation of conservation of suspended wash load becomes
where Cuwi denotes the value of Cwi at the upstream end of the slot and Lsu denotes the streamwise position of the upstream end of the slot. Including wash load, Exner becomes
As the slot fills, however, wash load is resuspended and carried out of the hole well before bed material load.

WHY WAS THE ENTRAINMENT FORMULATION OF EXNER NOT USED? That is, why was not Exner implemented in terms of the relations
for bed material load as given in Slide 5?
The reason has to do with the relatively short relaxation distance for suspended sand. To see this, consider the following case: Qw = 300 m3/s, If = 1, B = 60 m, D50 = 0.3 mm, D90 = 0.8 mm, R = 1.65 and S = 0.0002. The associated fall velocity for the sediment is 0.0390 m/s (at 20 C). From worksheet “ResultsofCalc” of workbook RTe-bookDredgeSlotBW.xls, it is found that the depth-averaged volume concentration C is 5.97x10-5. The same calculation yields a value of E of 0.00705 m/s (must add a line to the code to have this printed out), and thus the quasi-equilibrium value of ro = E/C of 11.82.

RELAXATION DISTANCE FOR SUSPENDED SEDIMENT PROFILE Now suppose that at time t = 0 this normal flow prevails everywhere, except that at x = 0 the sediment is free of suspended sediment. The flow is free to pick up sediment downstream of x = 0. As described in the pickup problem of Chapter 10 (and simplified here with a depth-averaged formulation), the equation to be solved for the spatial development of the profile of suspended sediment is

Note that C is close to its equilibrium value of 5.97x10-5 by the time x = 30 m.

RELAXATION DISTANCE FOR SUSPENDED SEDIMENT PROFILE contd. It is seen from the solution
that the characteristic relaxation distance Lsr for adjustment of the suspended sediment profile is
In the present case, Lsr is found to be 10.8 m.
Whenever Ls is shorter than the spatial step length x used in the calculation, it is appropriate to assume that the suspended sediment profile is everywhere nearly adapted to the flow conditions, allowing the use of the formulation
in place of the more complicated entrainment formulation. This is true for the cases considered in this chapter.

MASS CONSERVATION OF A MORPHODYNAMIC FORMULATION An accurate morphodynamic formulation satisfies mass conservation. That is, the total inflow of sediment mass into a reach must equal the total storage of sediment mass within the reach minus the total outflow of sediment mass from the reach. Consider a reach of length L. During floods, the mass inflow rate of bed material load is B(R+1)qt(0, t) and the mass outflow rate is B(R+1)qt(L, t) where qt denotes the volume bed material load per unit width. The Exner equation of sediment conservation is
Integrating this equation from x = 0 to x = L yields the result

MASS CONSERVATION OF A MORPHODYNAMIC FORMULATION contd. Summing the discretized relation from i = 1 to i = M+1 and rearranging yields the result
Thus as long as the volume inflow rate of bed material load per unit width is interpreted as auqtf + (1 - au)qt,1 the method is mass-conserving: the volume storage of sediment in the reach per unit width in one time step = the volume input of sediment per unit width – the volume output of sediment per unit width, both over one time step.
The method is specifically mass-conserving in terms of qtf if pure upwinding (au = 1) is employed. (This method is numerically less accurate than partial upwinding, however).
Mass conservation is tested numerically on worksheet “ResultsMassBalance” of workbook RTe-booKDredgeSlotBW.xls.
