Sediment Settling

Based on the experimental data of sediment particle cloud during the settlement process in the water and combined with the existed sediment settling velocity formulae, a new formula for calculation of the settling velocity of sediment particle cloud is proposed by the introduction of the characteristic particle size of sediment particle cloud ( D' ). By using experimentally measured settling velocity values of sediment particle cloud to verify the settling velocity values of sediment particle cloud which calculated by using this new formula, the results show that the calculated settling velocity values using this new formula are closer to the experimental values.

Abstract We study the interaction of a planar air shock with a perturbed, monodispersed, particle curtain using point-particle simulations. In this Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, equations of motion are solved to track the position, momentum, and energy of the computational particles while the carrier fluid flow is computed in the Eulerian frame of reference. In contrast with many Shock-Driven Multiphase Instability (SDMI) studies, we investigate a configuration with an initially high particle volume fraction, which produces a strongly two-way coupled flow in the early moments following the shock-solid phase interaction. In the present study, the curtain is about 4 mm in thickness and has a peak volume fraction of about 26%. It is composed of spherical particles of d = 115μm in diameter and a density of 2500 kg.m−3, thus replicating glass particles commonly used in multiphase shock tube experiments or multiphase explosive experiments. We characterize both the evolution of the perturbed particle curtain and the gas initially trapped inside the particle curtain in our planar three-dimensional numerical shock tube. Control parameters such as the shock strength, the particle curtain perturbation wavelength and particle volume fraction peak-to-trough amplitude are varied to quantify their influence on the evolution of the particle cloud and the initially trapped gas. We also analyze the vortical motion in the flow field. Our results indicate that the shock strength is the primary contributor to the cloud particle width. Also, a classic Richtmyer-Meshkov instability mixes the gas initially trapped in the particle curtain and the surrounding gas. Finally, we observe that the particle cloud contribute to the formation of longitudinal vortices in the downstream flow.

Reservoir Storage

Estuary of the river that leads to the reservoir has characteristics include: relatively flat, there is a change in the increase of wet cross-sectional area and backwater. The backwater will cause the flow velocity to be reduced, so that the grains of sediment with a certain diameter carried by the flow will settle in the estuary of the river. The purpose of this research is to know the distribution and sedimentation pattern at the river estuary that leads to the reservoir with the change of water level in the reservoir storage, so the solution can be found to remove / reduce sediment before entering the reservoir. The method used is the experimental, by making the physical model of the river estuary leading to the reservoir. This study expects a solution to reduce sedimentation, so that sedimentation can be removed / minimized before entering the reservoir. This research tries to apply bypass channel to reduce the sedimentation at the river estuary. Bypass channels can be applied to overcome sedimentation at the river estuary, but in order for the sediment to be removed optimally, it is necessary to modify the mouth of bypass channel and channel angle.
