CMS-Flow:Equilibrium Total Load

Equilibrium Total load Transport model

The single-sized sediment transport model described in Sánchez and Wu (2011a) was extended to multiple-sized sediments within CMS by Sánchez and Wu (2011b). In this model, the sediment transport is separated into current- and wave-related transports. The transport due to currents includes the stirring effect of waves, and the wave-related transport includes the transport due to asymmetric oscillatory wave motion as well as steady contributions by Stokes drift, surface roller, and undertow. The current-related bed and suspended transports are combined into a single total-load transport equation, thus reducing the computational costs and simplifying the bed change computation. The 2DH transport equation for the current-related total load is

Equation 2-50 ??????

Sediment Mass Balance Equation

The transport equation for the suspended load is given by

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

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