CMS-Flow:Equilibrium Bed load plus AD Suspended load

Transport Equation

The transport equation for the suspended load is given by

        ${\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}{\biggl (}{\frac {hC_{t}}{\beta _{t}}}{\biggr )}+{\frac {\partial (U_{j}hC_{t})}{\partial x_{j}}}={\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggl [}\nu _{s}h{\frac {\partial (r_{s}C_{t})}{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggr ]}+\alpha _{t}\omega _{s}(C_{t*}-C_{t})$

Bed Change Equation

If the advection-diffusion (A-D) equation is selected to simulate the sediment transport and mixing, the change in the water depth is calculated by the sediment continuity equation

       $(1-p'_{m}){\frac {\partial \zeta }{\partial t}}=\alpha _{t}\omega _{s}(C_{t*}-C_{t})+{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggl [}D_{s}|U|h(1-r_{s})C_{t}{\frac {\partial \zeta }{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggr ]}$

where $p'_{m}$ is the sediment porosity, and $D_{s}$ is a bedslope coefficient.
