Sediment transport is an engineering science that addresses the movement and transportation of solid granular particles in open channel flows. It deals with the hydrodynamics of sediment-laden flow and the mechanism of sediment motion in the particle-liquid two-phase flow. The first part of this course aims to provide an introduction of fundamental principles governing flow and sediment transport and apply these principles to solve practical problems such as designing stable channel, estimating flow resistance, quantifying sediment load. The second part is river mechanics that examines river dynamics and bank stability and introduces basic engineering measures to cost-effective maintain river stability and prevent flooding.
