Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1983-01-01 Abstract A new depth averaged model for suspended sediment transport in open channels has been developed based on an asymptotic solution to the two dimensional convection-diffusion equation in the vertical plane. The solution for the depth averaged concentration is derived from the bed boundary condition and the computation of transport rate and entrainment rate are performed therefore. Expressions are derived for adaptation length and time. The model is economical and easy to apply even in unsteady flow situations and compares favourably with the full two dimensional solution for steady flow. The stability of bed level change calculations including numerical effects can be analysed prior to application of the model. The extension to three-dimensions is outlined.
