The Reason for the Rise in Critical Shear Stress on Sloping Beds

Resumen

In sediment mechanics, the conditions for the onset of sediment movement are of particular importance. However, despite decades of research, questions remain unanswered. Thus, physical logic suggests that sediments move more easily on beds inclined in the direction of flow than on horizontal beds and that transport rates are correspondingly increased. However, numerous studies have shown that sediments require increased rather than decreased shear stress to move on sloping beds and that transport rates are lower instead of increased. Since an early publication on this issue by Ashida and Michiue in 1973, many possible effects have been suggested for this apparent contradiction. The literature almost consistently concludes that high relative roughness (d/h), i.e., low water cover (h/d), is mainly responsible for this contradictory effect. This is true for current-induced sediment transport and for the initiation of debris flow. In this paper, an analytical solution for the effect of small water coverage on the transport process is developed. Effects of low coverage also occur on beaches during wave runup and runoff and thus control the formation of steep or less steep beaches. The present paper shows that the effect of turbulence damping occurring under low water coverage plays a decisive role here.
