Question: Incipient motion depends on
Option 1: bed slope
Option 2: bed forms
Option 3: cohesive forces between particle
Option 4: all of the above
Starting with the concept, incipient motion refers to the condition under which a sediment particle or bed just begins to move due to shear stress from the flow. This threshold is influenced by multiple interacting factors, not jus......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers

M2Q9 PART #1 (Numerical Answer) The discharge in a river is 32 m3/s. The river width is 10 m, and the uniform depth is 2.9m (Manning's coefficient n = 0.031 and slope = 0.0007). The depth-averaged suspended sediment concentration Cs = 0.76% and the d50 at the river bed is 0.6 mm. PART #1 (numerical calculation): What is the suspended sediment transport rate? (Assume the relative density s = 2.6, water density 𝜌 = 1000 kg/m3, viscosity 10-6 m2/s). (Use the modified shield diagram below if necessary). (Answer in m2/s).
M2Q10 PART #1 (Numerical Answer) A river has a width B = 3 m and an average normal depth dn = 0.87 m. The characteristic sediment size is ds = 92 mm. The riverbed exhibits bedforms such that skin friction contributes 60% of the total bed shear and the remaining 40% is due to form drag. PART #1 (numerical calculations): Assuming uniform flow, what is the minimum slope to initiate bed load motion of the sediment? (Use the Shield diagram below if necessary; assume the relative density s = 2.6, water density 𝜌 = 1000 kg/m3, viscosity 10-6 m2/s). (Answer with three decimal digits, e.g. 0.999).
M2Q3 Consider water flow over a natural river bed with a characteristic sediment size ds = 1 mm. Using the modified Shields diagram below, with water density 𝜌 = 1000 kg/m3 and viscosity 𝜈 = 10-6 m2/s, and without any other inputs, which of the following statements represents realistic conditions if the Shields parameter 𝜏 ∗ = 0.75?
M2Q10 PART #1 (METHOD) A river has a width B = 3 m and an average normal depth dn = 0.87 m. The characteristic sediment size is ds = 92 mm. The riverbed exhibits bedforms such that skin friction contributes 60% of the total bed shear and the remaining 40% is due to form drag. PART #2 (method): Which approach correctly describes how the minimum slope was estimated to mobilise the sediment?
