Experimental study of sediment transport and numerical solution with finite volume method

Because of simplicity and reasonable results that can be obtained by one dimensional solution, the use of these predictions are increasing. In this thesis, one dimensional solution for sediment transport equations by finite volume method is proposed. Depending to the sensitive of the solution, sediment transport equations solved by implicit and explicit schemes. In this research, both kinematic wave and the dynamic wave models are investigated. Moreover both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium form of solutions are investigated. Finally the model is verified by the laboratory research. The results are generally simulated well.
