Increased knowledge of the processes which govern the transport of solids in sewers is necessary in order to develop more reliable and applicable sediment transport models for sewer systems. Proper validation of these are essential. For that purpose thorough field measurements are imperative. This paper renders initial results obtained in an ongoing case study of a Danish combined sewer system in Frejlev, a small town southwest of Aalborg, Denmark. Field data are presented concerning estimation of the sediment transport during dry weather. Finally, considerations on how to approach numerical modelling is made based on numerical simulations using MOUSE TRAP (DHI 1993).

Abstract. This paper presents the preliminary results of a coupled modelling effort to study the fate of tailings (radioactive waste-by product) downstream of the Coles Hill uranium deposit located in Virginia, USA. The implementation of the overall modelling process includes a one-dimensional hydraulic model to qualitatively characterize the sediment transport process under severe flooding conditions downstream of the potential mining site, a two-dimensional ANSYS Fluent model to simulate the release of tailings from a containment cell located partially above the local ground surface into the nearby streams, and a one-dimensional finite-volume sediment transport model to examine the propagation of a tailings sediment pulse in the river network located downstream. The findings of this investigation aim to assist in estimating the potential impacts that tailings would have if they were transported into rivers and reservoirs located downstream of the Coles Hill deposit that serve as municipal drinking water supplies.

Predictions from 13 bed-material load sediment transport models are compared with 19 measurements of bed-material transport in Nottawasaga River, Ontario, using summary plots and geometric statistics. Model selection is based on recent engineering application and suitability for the flow and sediment conditions of the river. The models of Laursen (1958) and Yang (1979) perform best, followed by those of Ackers and White (1973). The models of Van Rijn (1984), Maddock (1976), Karim and Kennedy (1983), Brownlie (1981), and Yang (1973) have considerable data scatter. The models of Engelund and Hansen (1967) and Shen and Hung (1972) are the poorest predictors. Poor model performance is primarily due to overestimation of flow strength needed for particle entrainment and an excessively steep slope in the relations between flow strength and sediment transport. Key words: bed-material load transport models, test, Nottawasaga River.
