CIVE 7383 — Sediment Transport and Applications
4 semester hoursGraduateLecturetypical days: M/WBostonTraditional
Builds on the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and nearshore hydrodynamics to explore the deceptively simple, yet universally complex, problem of sediment transport: how to describe and predict sand movement under water. Explores this question via simple one-line models and complex 3D models of sediment transport; the lab and field experiments underpinning these models; the particular challenge of mixed media transport, including the issues associated with different sediment grain sizes; the structure and importance of turbulence closure models; and coastal resilience and coastal community issues reliant on sediment transport physics.
