TLDR
In this paper, a mathematical model for simulating suspended sediment transport under equilibrium and non-equilibrium situations is described using the hydrodynamic variable field obtained from a refined turbulent free surface flow model, which involves bed boundary conditions for either the sediment flux to or from the bed, or an estimated concentration level.
Abstract
The mathematical model for simulating suspended sediment transport under equilibrium and non-equilibrium situations is described. Using the hydrodynamic variable field obtained from a refined turbulent free surface flow model, the suspension transport model involves bed boundary conditions for either the sediment flux to or from the bed, or an estimated concentration level, which are tested. The Schmidt number variability is also studied for several particle types. Some 2D vertical test cases for equilibrium situations or non-equilibrium situations with net erosion or net deposition flux to the bed are presented, and the predicted development of the concentration profiles is compared with measurements.

Three-Dimensional Mathematical Model of Suspended-Sediment Transport

TL;DR: In this article, the basic equations for a mathematical model of sediment-laden flow in a nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system were derived using a tensor analysis of two-phase flow and incorporate a natural variable-density turbulence model with nonequilibrium sediment transport.

Three-dimensional computation of flow around groyne

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D numerical simulation of a steady, shallow turbulent flow around a groyne in a rectangular channel is presented, where a method used to track a moving surface boundary and to follow its evolution, using a one-phase 3D Reynolds solver with rigid grids, by means of a transient fraction of fluid or "porosity" field is applied.
