The distribution of fine sediment deposits in compound channel systems

Abstract

During periods of high flow in compound channel systems, suspended sediment is transferred to flood plain sections by convection and by turbulent interaction between flow regions. suspended distributions as well as the distribution of deposits on the main channel and flood plain surfaces. One model describes the vertical and transverse distributions over the flood plain and the other describes the vertical and longitudinal distributions along the main channel. longitudinally uniform flow and do not account for bed load movement or the role or the bed as a source of suspended material.
