CMS-Flow:Equilibrium Total Load

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.
