Theoretical analysis on depth-integrated modelling of suspended sediment transport

Abstract

The depth-integrated model for suspended sediment transport based on the asymptotic solution of the convection-diffusion equation developed by Galappatti (Galappatti and Vreugdenhil, 1985) is generalized. The validity and applicability of the generalised model is studied by analysing the convergence of the asymptotic solution and the morphological behaviour of the model.
