00:00 Great. What? We'll wait until income start? Well, let's get

00:27 . We we covered a fair amount information yesterday, but most of it

00:36 be background for you, uh which is new kind of mull

00:41 You have any questions. Let me start. Do either of you have

00:45 questions about what was covered last time you think would need a little

00:51 No brother. Good. Okay, we're gonna talk about fluid flow and

00:56 transport answers. We're gonna kind of into a little bit of hydraulics just

01:02 this is the way we're gonna be to understand bed forms, which is

01:06 way we're gonna understand sedimentary structures, is the way we're gonna build,

01:10 and interpret deposition systems. So we about channel flow and again, focus

01:18 this purpose. Rivers. Um we look at it as a function of

01:24 . Um Is it uniform flow or it change with this non uniform?

01:31 can also do time. So we talk about steady flow. Doesn't change

01:35 time. Unsteady flow changes with time think about a flood. I did

01:39 that um relative stability. That would laminar versus turbulent. Now, the

01:46 is in rivers. Uh laminar pretty is, is just a word.

01:53 don't really deal with non turbulent flow we get into the highly viscous turbidity

02:00 , but we'll get back to that relative roughness, that is to say

02:06 nature of the boundary. Is it hydrology rough for hydrology smooth? I'll

02:12 defining all these as we go, velocity, tranquil or shooting again.

02:18 be working on this later. So just start with um How about how

02:23 is the flow? Clearly we want be able to measure the strength of

02:27 flow and then predict what the nature sediment transport would be. Um And

02:33 of the ways his velocity um problem the velocity changes with depth. And

02:40 when we measure velocity to be average uh do we measure it at a

02:47 depth? These are all things we to make decisions about. We can

02:52 talk about shear stress, shear Uh That is the applied force um

02:59 depending on not laminar or turbulent Uh So that's certainly hydraulically, something

03:09 is potentially useful but we can think the basil ships risk um seems like

03:16 you're interested with sediment flow and transport the bottom like bed load, uh

03:22 whatever the shear stress is at the would be the most useful criteria.

03:27 again it varies a little bit with nature of the channel. But you've

03:31 this note, we could talk about velocity and actually again all of

03:37 I will go into a little more but referred to as use star.

03:43 . And um it's not a velocity rather it's a shear stress expressed in

03:49 of velocity because frankly the units of stress stress are not intuitive. Whereas

03:57 star or sheer velocity is at least in a term that is a little

04:03 then the last thing we could do let's average let's look at um screen

04:08 and so it's pretty power is particularly when it comes to try to predict

04:13 the amount of deadlines for example. , so all these are terms that

04:18 used in the literature uh and I take a subset of these uh to

04:24 about Now. Let's start with downstream in slow. Okay. Um and

04:34 we're looking at here is um a of pin a a series of flow

04:48 . Yeah, is pointing out with fingers right now here here you can

05:03 of these as streams of little packets water and at least for right now

05:09 flowing parallel to each other. These time average. And if we look

05:17 the top of the water surface, the measure of energy or it's like

05:26 energy, not unlike water table, the water is moving, it's moving

05:31 enough that there's a kinetic energy component the water motion. And that is

05:40 through the energy line. So if put a little to hear the water

05:49 expressing that extra portion of kinetic energy proportional to the support of the

05:57 Now the problem is what happens is variation in let's say maybe a ripple

06:05 yeah, well those flow lines begin converge uh they begin to converge and

06:15 a result they take all that velocity squeeze it into a smaller area.

06:26 means the velocity is increasing and because increasing, notice that the height.

06:35 , that yeah, it's great. we're actually increasing the flow and as

06:41 going up the back of the sun then those flow lines diverge as it

06:50 in the back side down to And the velocity increases now in uniform

06:58 None of this changes with time. just changing depth strength. And so

07:02 we had a merging flow diverging Okay, now, with the converging

07:14 , we're accelerating the velocity. So going to increase the load. So

07:19 is going to be on the upstream of that uh with diverging flow where

07:27 , we're gonna have increased deposition. , this idea of converging and diverging

07:34 is simple enough to visualize river, we see it in all sorts of

07:39 . Uh We can see it here called guys. Uh But this is

07:51 deep sea sediments and suggesting that the is slow, might result in a

07:59 in acceleration or deceleration. So we think about this in small term,

08:05 little river or in big term, say, turbidity currents. Okay,

08:11 , the second thing is, what changes with respect to time,

08:15 time and again the velocity of discharge now, but notice the peak and

08:25 , so this will be a storm . So this would be an event

08:31 associated with that event, we're going see erosion and deposition. So it'd

08:37 changing velocity. Uh when time is unsafe here and that means it's not

08:48 to be. Now. When we at those slow lines, it goes

08:55 basically zero at the bottom to some shear stress. That talks were applying

09:01 stress. Gotta play here, play dressing. So that change in with

09:13 is what this line represents. And shear stress you and we can talk

09:23 molecular viscosity. That's basically the resistance two flow lines. We can talk

09:30 the kinetic viscosity where in turbulent flow got a lot of exchange momentum between

09:37 individual flow lines hitters are not perfectly , so its velocity is constant.

09:49 as you apply a shear stress, us your strength, you get

09:54 Okay, And with the Newtonian it has no shear strength. So

10:00 soon as you put a little shear on that, it begins to

10:05 And if it's a straight line, means that the viscosity is constant in

10:12 particular case. Um we started relatively viscosity. So this would be a

10:19 fluid fluid with the high viscosity, low viscosity. So it doesn't take

10:28 lot of shift breath because I'm not . So the shape of this float

10:35 , if you like, will vary on the viscosity and whether or not

10:39 does or does not have sheer If it has a shear strain and

10:44 have to apply a fair amount of for sure before it starts to.

10:51 one of the big distinctions between, say most of what we're gonna look

10:56 . Look at with sediment transport in or air. Is that all of

11:02 fluids have no shear strength until you it's viscosity high enough in this concentration

11:11 sediment high enough that we actually get sheer strength and that would be a

11:17 flow or in some types of submarine flows and alluvial fan debris flows.

11:27 , now, based on your it looks like it ought to be

11:31 , just look at depth, looking . But as I may have mentioned

11:38 time slope is really hard to figure . So conceptually this is real

11:44 Uh in reality we're gonna have to something a little more indirect. Talk

11:53 laminar versus turbulent laminar flow lines are , they don't the only interferences that

12:00 viscosity, the skin viscosity, whereas turbulent, there's a lot of variation

12:06 the elevation with full of progress. so the turbulence would look something like

12:13 from time, instantaneous velocity fluctuations. tend to think about a uniform or

12:20 velocity to define those flow lines and we do that, we let it

12:26 from the base where which basically, , there's actually a parabolic shape to

12:34 velocity profile. Whereas with turbulence it's people rhythmic profile, that transition from

12:47 turbulent can be described on the basis the Reynolds and the Reynolds number is

12:56 increases with increasing velocity. It goes a critical Reynolds number. And also

13:03 have virtually all rivers on with a of minor exceptions. So what is

13:13 ? Reynolds number? It's ratio of uh the viscous forces and essentially the

13:20 directly proportional velocity. It's directly proportionate critical length. It is inversely

13:29 disgusting. Okay, now the velocity you can use the logic but let's

13:37 you the average positive country will use flow depth for critical um link and

13:48 cinematic viscosity. This and then we've this. Reynolds lost Reynolds number for

13:56 channel flow. Okay, so when we got critical number, go

14:01 laminar to um turn That number is 500 and 2000. It turns out

14:10 if you had A sheet of water cm High moving at a foot over

14:25 seconds. It's gonna be tough. the only way to really go get

14:34 flow. It make it really very slow or increased response increased

14:52 So viscosity is really what plays a here. And it's the distinction between

14:58 of sediment transport virtually all sediment transport rivers and the ocean except for turbidity

15:08 Statham entry graphic close. Okay, , now it turns out that with

15:17 rhythmic profiles and turbulence. Let's We're basically dealing with terminal close.

15:22 can plot that on a long, clock. I can send me

15:29 And it turns out that that slow you start. So this here you

15:42 , you saw as I mentioned earlier the square root of G. Times

15:49 So here velocity, I'm sure she . All we need to do is

15:56 a measurement at two or three around or four places of different depths plotted

16:02 oil paper and you get a slow when we go about trying to measure

16:13 transport in the field or in the , in the ocean or in the

16:17 , that's basically what we're doing. we're taking and certain depths you

16:27 which is a form of basal ship . And so most of the work

16:33 you see now uh is expressing set transport that is velocity, not even

16:40 sheer stress, but you storm. that's the way to do it.

16:47 there is one exception that and that when you get right down face um

16:57 of the death that critical, you , today, elevation when you're just

17:06 little bit above the block and that's pretty low depth. It actually

17:11 Then you're going from number the So there's a basal laminar flows on

17:22 it predominantly turbulent transitions in between have buffer zone. And this is where

17:32 is generated. And we'll see this important in getting the setting up into

17:37 center of the other thing is a , maybe the thickness of this

17:45 So called viscous sub layer um can thicker than versatile the same.

17:54 it's a sand braid is large enough it actually interrupts that base of

18:01 So in hundreds you're getting at least . Of course you're going sam,

18:14 just don't have that, the player all. And so that's the distinction

18:20 and wrong with hydraulically smooth, It matter how big the grain is,

18:27 not gonna be generating turbulence, whereas matter how I think uh sub layer

18:39 , it can't maintain itself. Of , your grand setup turns out that

18:45 important when we think about the inception sediment transport. And just real

18:55 we don't get um rather we only ripped. Yeah, fine grained

19:06 Let me read. Uh in order get this set in the movement,

19:15 need to create something that interrupts the a ripple. So in order to

19:24 this fine grain sand, it's smaller the laminar somewhere to move. I

19:31 to create a ripple. Once the their language subject is gone, what

19:36 it turns out, it doesn't matter little variation. A little bump in

19:41 bottom is enough to initiate a report it's initiated, that's the form

19:46 then you can transport down here. don't need a ripple to get this

19:53 moving. So this will be the of same. So when you have

19:58 grain beginning to move, it moves a triple bed form if you have

20:03 grained sand beginning to move, It flows is plain bed. So the

20:10 bed form and resulting sedimentary structures at inception of motion differ depending on what

20:18 dealing with fine grained bottom to force hydraulically rough waters. Yeah. And

20:26 is the same thing. Now this that mean profile that is into that

20:42 . We have a lot of So we had periods of time.

20:50 water first stuff and then sweep So what we see is the main

21:02 varies a lot in terms of what called person sweeps. You look kind

21:08 like this and what this is is way in which you've been get set

21:15 higher up into the ward. So the way we begin to get our

21:20 into the water column by these bursts sweeps. And this is this is

21:26 injection started. So this is the really upset in the transport series of

21:36 bursts. Now let's think about acceleration. Oh and let's look at

21:48 happening this week gets steeper and steeper the flow gets deeper. The water

21:55 accelerating and that wine between the energy energy in the water surfaces increasing.

22:04 just visually tells us that we are . But now let's stop. So

22:13 about we got except now instead of smooth transition we saw earlier, the

22:23 ill aeration causes this really her Bulent jump. And so what's happening is

22:33 going through a critical part. Don't around this and then we go back

22:42 that critical height. This portion on left is streaming relatively uh slow for

22:56 decision. We haven't changed the we just change the velocity slow.

23:01 now going a lot faster elevation. the type of uh drop down.

23:11 we slow it down even back but it can't go up slightly.

23:15 has to go up to this hydraulic . And so what we do is

23:20 define this as a sub critical scooper hydraulic jump is the way you

23:28 Supercritical. Supercritical form a lot of . And that transition is defined by

23:37 less than one Medical for one. Critical. So what does that look

23:44 ? It flew? Well, here we go, coming down constant

23:51 . It's increasing its philosophy. Come here, it's jumps all these

24:01 So you can imagine that sediment, structures associated with this are gonna be

24:06 different. And we used to assume this was mainly an issue with respect

24:14 things like turbidity currents. But now realizing that this is actually a relatively

24:20 feature, high velocity rivers, in storms. So what is that

24:26 number? It's the second dimension. ratio. Talking about this one's inertial

24:32 forces. Okay. Uh it is lossy ratio for the lost city of

24:42 who have lost in gravity wave, wave is a wave. The way

24:47 think of the gravity wave is if threw a rock and understanding water,

24:53 speed at which that ripple propagates away the point of impact. That's the

24:59 of the gravity wave from water. depth, it turns out the oh

25:07 would. And today those directly proportional to a power square uh to water

25:22 . And so if we think about average global la city relative to the

25:29 , that's gonna determine whether or not sub critical or supercritical, whether or

25:37 it's transport for grieving as well. we're finding uh really in the last

25:48 years or so is that supercritical flow really pretty calm and more specifically,

25:56 sedimentary structures born by sediment. Supercritical are much more common and this is

26:04 classic example. You don't see what not looking now that we see the

26:13 evidence of supercritical flow. We're seeing law. Okay, now there's one

26:21 thing, uh the idea of very large depths, let's go back

26:37 technician. How do you keep number local law states for high debt.

26:51 when you're looking at something like uh canyon or submarine fan, water depths

27:00 huge. And so we assume that supercritical flow wasn't possible, but what

27:06 realized was we're looking at the wrong . What we needed to be looking

27:13 is the depth of the flow of water that's concentrated as a sedimentary

27:21 So now we're looking at the concentration the specific gravity of that water into

27:31 the said compared to the top of gravity's. So we can have dents

27:38 the metric Bruno. So we can sentimental gravity flows and supercritical 5000 water

27:47 . So it's no longer just the of the ocean, but rather the

27:53 or thickness of the sedimentary gravity So let's go back to that

27:59 I gave uniform and verging Sloan's And we're looking at the energy line

28:17 as it increases. You're accelerating, the height, decrease your decelerated.

28:28 we can actually think of those terms terms of hydraulic head I don't like

28:35 we can talk about elevation and it's just that the groundwater velocity.

28:45 , that pretty much the water tape the head. While we're moving

28:53 we have a component of energy that the Connecticut with velocity. Now,

29:05 , what is different about these two conditions. Right. Describe the upper

29:21 . Different florida. It's ST it's the relationship between the bottom purpose

29:39 surface of the water and so here the upstream portion it's slowing down here

29:50 the apologize to uh my own But here the water is slowing down

30:01 . The water is uh the velocity increasing party, increased velocity, decreased

30:10 and conversely this is decreased velocity, policy. What we would say in

30:21 is that the water surface is out phase with the bottom for symmetry in

30:28 upper upper diagram, the water surface in phase with the body on the

30:34 side. So if you think about , ask yourself the question, where

30:44 you experience erosion versus deposition for I've already told you to tell me

30:53 . With the upper Yeah. What you expect? Erosion or deposition up

31:04 . Yeah, it's accelerating in deposition . Uh What about down here,

31:17 going in? You've got deposition upstream erosion down street. Now the fact

31:30 this the upper zone is is the of the situation in tranquil flow.

31:37 have food numbers less than one. lower it is an example of shooting

31:45 through From a practical point, do think about how this lump will

31:55 This lump in the upper zone will downstream erosion on the back deposition.

32:04 look in is gonna actually migrate upstream . It's not that the sentiment moves

32:16 but rather the deposition is Aisling up the upstream side because erosion here,

32:26 gonna cause deposition here. The erosion the the out stream side will result

32:35 deposition and bed for migration of It's a difference between a ripple in

32:41 dune in the upper diagram in an day or other. Now we talked

32:55 sediment being transported. We think about salutation, suspension. We're ignoring dissolves

33:02 devolved by this. Uh we're either or dragging it, bouncing it or

33:10 letting it be suspended either partially or by turbulence. And of course that

33:19 , combined that think about bed load suspended load and we can subdivide suspended

33:25 into this continuously submitted and wash load suspended again. Ignoring dissolve, assuming

33:40 we're dealing with hydraulically rough boundary, say media endorsements. The flow lines

33:48 converging over the other troops on top and according to the pressure, the

33:57 changed the greatest pressures upon these pressures top. So we get it.

34:08 we're also applying a shear stress. we're complying frictional drive and will give

34:19 the fluid force that's gonna get that in motion either by rolling or

34:30 Um There's no close separation, it uh follow is which uh and turbulence

34:52 greater. And or article you also a uh a down flow Eddie that

35:04 in separating and getting flow in So what we visualize is bed load

35:12 and rolling and sliding some bounce either air or water. And eventually partially

35:25 that any suspension, eating anything popping , go to the first six weeks

35:31 are helping to maintain the sediment in . Otherwise it would just settle

35:40 So we've got traction load or bed going down. Tenuous. Uninterrupted

35:49 yep. Um I'll skip that. our interest at least to this point

36:01 inception of motion. Have we applied force to share streets? They get

36:08 sentiment mood whatever. So the shield is the one that's been used traditionally

36:18 determine the transition from motion or no . The problem with this diagram is

36:28 it expresses the very in terms of shear stress and sediment characteristics, for

36:42 , horizontal, we've got you star great on the vertical axis you've

36:53 So even though we can you've been frequent calculate these very it has no

37:03 sense to it. So why don't take that and take the green

37:12 owner or zone in the fluid strength on the vote. Now, clearly

37:21 have to make some assumptions but let's assume that it's uh porch.

37:27 we've got a constant density. Let's that it's water, fresh water and

37:33 constant viscosity. Um And so we of narrowed it down to right

37:45 And then here we're gonna use the and one m. We could use

37:52 number of things. The key is difference in the shape. Now we

37:56 see you have to apply increasing We get increasingly large diameters.

38:05 so we've got no motion erosion but in something that makes more sense.

38:17 . Now let's take a individual Um Okay and let's apply increasing press

38:31 switched from stress velocity. I'll do all the time. But they're all

38:36 . So more and more stress until hit this line and now the settlement

38:43 , it's moving under higher and higher . Now it first moves as

38:52 but at some point it's going to its doing suspension. Remember that diagram

38:58 showed it showed the rolling sand eventually to suspension. So that's gonna happen

39:06 here someplace. So how do we where did that transition is? Screen

39:16 ? Well, we're gonna look at full philosophy. Um a sphere of

39:27 . Okay. And uh the bigger is, the faster it bastard.

39:40 so this would be the And it out that you can more or less

39:50 this fall glossing by Houston. So you start is basically equal with the

40:02 you like the shear stress, it's to the for philosophy. Then as

40:09 shear stress increases, it goes into . If the shear stress is less

40:16 the fall of loss, eat, moves extraction, recognizing this gradation that

40:22 allows us, it's just to show happening to try to define this summer

40:38 years. So now we've got a and now I've extended to other grain

40:45 , still focusing on the no Bed load, rolling, bouncing

40:55 And now I can forget it. And we'll come back to this shape

41:04 this basically is the beginning of a phase diagram where we're going to look

41:10 variables of you Star Aussie brain size predict bed forms and therefore sedimentary

41:20 Now, a couple of other things keep in mind the courses range that

41:24 be transported. The first was streamed confidence and that really goes back to

41:32 shield because she was dr graham basically says folks should know and that's a

41:43 fortune of the capacity that has to amount of sediment that can be

41:53 but it's mainly a function of I'm sorry, Philosophy, ready for

42:00 power. Three discharge proportional to So those are two terms, you'll

42:14 confidence. How big can it move ? How much can be moved?

42:23 we think about suspended sand. Just about that portion is not moving by

42:30 we increase the philosophy increasing capacity. earth down here, we're just dealing

42:40 very fine, but eventually we could the gravel being transported, suspension If

42:52 had velocities of six or 7 Now that would only happen really catastrophic

43:00 on uh but suddenly we can get certain amount of course of sand when

43:07 have very bad into suspension. Now leads into uh the um Yeah,

43:22 . Did you, did you ever this in your uh, what,

43:34 you for you? Uh This is pretty important diagram because what it says

43:44 that same? What it, what says is that this line right

43:57 It's more or less what we've been about for some time and it's the

44:01 of deposition. You can also think it as the zone of no

44:06 And so as we increase velocity of measure, nothing moves until here and

44:16 it begins to erode. And of with erosion comes sediment transport. So

44:24 zone of deposition is what I referred earlier. The motion. The zone

44:29 erosion is what I referred to earlier sediment transport. Okay, conversely,

44:36 the velocity slows down, sandman goes being moved her deposit. Okay

44:47 though, you've got a funny situation it actually, when we get into

44:52 pretty fine grain sand to silt and , we're getting a zone where it's

45:02 hard to get it in motion, no motion motion. But then as

45:08 dropping, it can stay in motion than it could be eroded. And

45:16 common explanation for that is that it um cohesive. We're beginning to see

45:23 inter granular uh cohesive forces, making hard to move. But once it's

45:31 motion, the settling velocity is pretty . Now we're gonna take that and

45:39 it just like and we're gonna this curve up in here. Yes,

45:52 for more consolidated think about mud and down to the bottom. It's pretty

46:01 to get that re suspend unconsolidated So uh it's not as hard,

46:10 it's still harder than you would Now, here's that line for settling

46:19 . There is notice that you can that settle in suspension at the loss

46:36 much lower than would be required to an emotion. That's why it's so

46:47 , so I'm just interested that's the diagram we get out of that

46:53 I'm really interested in this zone right for sediments and dead load, suspended

47:04 . Make it look like this. let's look at relatively emotional threats.

47:18 can get five grand imperial transported in and there's some right here which is

47:30 range of set that can be transported spent at the same time. So

47:38 got this is better now let's imagine the increase the sheriff dress by two

47:49 men now that sediment that was moving bed load, moving a suspended

47:58 And now we've got a lot of with a wide range of range size

48:05 his Bentley. Yeah. So that is we've got a tortured brain poorly

48:14 . So whereas pretty well for So it began to need to think

48:25 how does the variation or amount of stress affect a range of said.

48:36 the flume studies as useful as they usually deal with the single grain size

48:45 they call it the average princess. we know that in nature we get

48:49 green size distribution. Yeah. So example, just imagine you've got your

48:58 is going that's gonna cause variation in size that's been transported as forget about

49:11 . So we could think about the , which is nothing to say about

49:22 . You got me showing that is fact the case. And let's take

49:28 our center, we've shown off. mean, as we know that there

49:35 some mean statistical standard deviations given succession a great population. Now I've expressed

49:46 distribution of grain size, not as , what is the rather than applied

49:56 , But so as you increases your at some point, you begin to

50:04 those the highest first scientist. So beginning to create a students of the

50:15 material. And as we continue to the average shear stress, we are

50:23 a larger, larger percentage of the ocean. And so that ratio average

50:39 them average applied shares. For this critical carefulness of this population. It's

50:50 the transport state. And as you that, your stress of fluid,

50:59 increase the transport statement. That is measure of capacity. Uh We're gonna

51:07 there. Um because what I want do at this point is to take

51:17 flow and sediment in motion began to at the bed form that are

51:25 that's on sediment transport and then the structures. So this is just the

51:33 to it. So let's get the because I want to keep the recording

51:37 this
