Improvements of saltation model
Kharlamova, Irina ; Vlasák, Pavel
The present paper introduces a new model of a bed-load transport. The model simulates a particle motion in the channel with turbulent flow and rough bed. The effects of mutual interaction of conveyed particles with carrier liquid, with bed particles, and also with other conveyed particles are taken into account. The model predicts average saltation characteristics, e.g. saltation length and height, particles distribution in vertical direction, and mass rate of conveyed particles per unit area of channel bed.

Saltation of sand in vicinity of cylindrical column
Kharlamova, Irina ; Kharlamov, Alexander ; Vlasák, Pavel
The paper presents a model of sand sediment transport in water stre am in vicinity of a high cylindrical col umn. It is assumed that an averaged turbulent flow is horizontally layered in vicinity of the cylinder. In ea ch layer the flow around the cylinder is modelled as a potential flow generated by a vertical dipole line. Flow in viscous sub-layer on the surface of the cylinder is neglected. The presented flow model is approximate; however it is simple for use. Trajectories of saltating particles near the cylinder were calculated. Further investigation of such flow will allow a determination of zones where solid particles will collide with the column. That might be useful for prevention of its damage or destruction

Numerical model of saltation in open channel with rough bed
Kharlamova, Irina ; Vlasák, Pavel
The present contribution deals with a numerical modelling of a saltation of solid spherical particle in turbulent flow along rough bed in the open channel. The goal of the research is to obtain the dependences of average characteristics of particle saltation motion (as length and height of one particle jump) on flow parameters (which can be characterized e.g. by shear velocity and water depth) and bed roughness. The suggested dependences and calculated results are compared with analogical relationships introduced by other authors in literature.

Dependence of saltation parameters on bed roughness and bed porosity
Kharlamova, Irina ; Vlasák, Pavel
In numerical models of bed load transport a bed structure of channel could be described by two parameters, a size of bed particles and a standard deviation of normal distribution of bed particles in the vertical direction. The present paper deals with the effect of bed parameters on average length and height of one jump of saltating particle. A new formula was proposed for bed roughness based on size and standard deviation of the normal distribution of the bed particles. The dependences of length and height of the jump on the diameter of the saltating and bed particles were determined for different variation of vertical distribution of the bed particles.

Modelling of bed in process of particle saltation in channel
Kharlamova, Irina ; Kharlamov, Alexander A. ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
For numerical modelling particle saltation in channel with rough bed is important to define a bed configuration. The paper deals with the bed consisting of spherical particles of the different size then the saltating particle. In horizontal x-z plane the particles are arranged hexagonally. In vertical direction the particles are distributed according to Gaussian distribution. Before each collision of the saltating particle with bed the bed is shifted on a random distance and it is rotated by a random angle, so there is uniform probability to find a bed particle in any point of the x-z plane. The bed structure is chosen with aim to represent the natural bed as much as possible, thus the known information about distribution of the bed particles along y-direction is used and the location of bed particles in the x-z plane is controlled by principles of equal probability and minimal dense packing.
