ANSWER
1. A wide open channel has a water depth of h = 3 m, mean current velocity u = 2.0 m/s, and mean
bed slope = 4 x 10-4. The bed material characteristics are d50 = 350 m, d90 = 1000 m, sediment
density s = 2650 kg/m3, fluid density = 1000 kg/m3, fluid temperature Te = 20oC ( = 1 x 10-6 m2/s).
What are the type of bed forms and the bed form dimensions according to the method of Van Rijn?
Given

h=3m

mean bed slope = 4 x 10-4

d50 = 350 m

u = 2.0 m/s Te = 20oC ( = 1 x 10-6 m2/s)


Wanted

s = 2650 kg/m3

d90 = 1000 m = 1000 kg/m3

A. What are the type of bed forms and


B. The bed form dimensions according to the method of Van Rijn?
Solution

According to Van Rijin method

A. Bed form type

-b,c = g(/ )2

= 18log (12h/3d90)
=18*log (12*3/(3*1000*10-6))
= 73.43m1/2/s

= 1000*9.81*(2/73.43)2
= 7.28N/m 2

b,cr = 0.21N/m2 (from shields curve)


T = (-b,c - b,cr)/b,cr = (7.28-0.21)/ 0.21
= 33.67
D* = d50 ((s-1)g/v2)1/3
= 350*10-6 ((2.65-1)9.81/10-12)1/3
=8.85

Fr= / (gh)0.5
=2/(9.81*3)0.5
=0.37

According to Van Rijin method bed form type is function of (T, D*) or
BF type = F (T, D*)
= F (33.67, 8.85) this belongs between T25, Fr<0.8 this indicates the
bed form is
Symmetrical sand waves in the (subcritical) upper transport regime.
B. Bed form dimensions
d

=7.3h = 7.3*3 =21.9m

sw =0.15h(1-Fr2)(1- -0.5(T-15)) =0.15*3(1-0.372)(1- -0.5(33.67-15)) =0.39m

sw =10h =10*3m
=30m

u = 1 m/s. The

bed material characteristics are d50 = 300 m, d90 = 500 m, the fluid density = 1000 kg/m3, the
sediment density s = 2650 kg/m3. The kinematic viscosity is = 1 x 10-6 m2/s.
