Because of the dynamic nature of thetransport process, the extent to which characteristics such asmass concentration and particle-size distribution are accuratelyr

20、epresented in samples depends upon the method of collection.Sediment discharge is highly variable both in time and space sonumerous samples properly collected with correctly designedequipment are necessary to provide data for discharge calcu-lations. General properties of both temporal and spatial v

21、aria-tions are discussed.5. Design of the Sampling Program5.1 The design of a sampling program requires an evalua-tion of several factors. The objectives of the program and thetolerable degree of measurement accuracy must be stated inconcise terms. To achieve the objectives with minimum cost,care mu

22、st be exercised in selecting the site, the samplingfrequency, the spatial distribution of sampling, the samplingequipment, and the operating procedures.5.2 A suitable site must meet requirements for both streamdischarge measurements and sediment sampling (1).3Theaccuracy of sediment discharge measur

23、ements are directlydependent on the accuracy of stream discharge measurements.Stream discharge usually is obtained from correlations betweenstream discharge, computed from flow velocity measurements,the stream cross-section geometry, and the water-surface el-evation (stage). The correlation must spa

24、n the entire range ofdischarges which, for a river, includes flood and low flows.Therefore, it is advantageous to select a site that affords astable stage-discharge relationship. In small rivers and man-made channels, artificial controls as weirs can be installed.These will produce exceptionally sta

25、ble and well definedstage-discharge relationships. In large rivers, only naturalcontrols ordinarily exist. Riffles and points where the bottomslope changes abruptly, such as immediately upstream from anatural fall, serve as excellent controls. A straight uniformreach is satisfactory, but the reach m

26、ust be removed frombridge piers and other obstructions that create backwatereffects.5.3 A sampling site should not be located immediatelydownstream from a confluence because poor lateral mixing ofthe sediment will require an excessive number of samples.Gaging and sampling stations should not be loca

27、ted at siteswhere there is inflow or outflow. In rivers, sampling duringfloods is essential so access to the site must be considered.Periods of high discharge may occur at night and duringinclement weather when visibility is poor. In many instances,bridges afford the only practical sampling site.5.4

28、 Sampling frequency can be optimized after a review ofthe data collected during an initial period of intensive sam-pling. Continuous records of water discharge and gauge height(stage) should be maintained in an effort to discover parametersthat correlate with sediment discharge, and, therefore, can

29、beused to indirectly estimate sediment discharge. During periodsof low-water discharge in rivers, the sampling frequency canusually be decreased without loss of essential data. If thesediment discharge originates with a periodic activity, such asmanufacturing, then periodic sampling may be very effi

30、cient.5.5 The location and number of sampling verticals requiredat a sampling site is dependent primarily upon the degree ofmixing in the cross section. If mixing is nearly complete, thatis the sediment is evenly and uniformly distributed in the crosssection, a single sample collected at one vertica

31、l and the waterdischarge at the time of sampling will provide the necessarydata to compute instantaneous sediment-discharge. Completemixing rarely occurs and only if all sediment particles inmotion have low fall velocities. Initially, poor mixing shouldbe assumed and, as with sampling any heterogene

32、ouspopulation, the number of sampling verticals should be large.5.6 If used properly, the equipment and procedures de-scribed in the following sections will ensure samples with ahigh degree of accuracy. The procedures are laborious butmany samples should be collected initially. If acceptably stablec

33、oefficients can be demonstrated for all anticipated flowconditions, then a simplified sampling method, such aspumping, may be adopted for some or all subsequent sampling.6. Hydraulic Factors6.1 Modes of Sediment Movement:6.1.1 Sediment particles are subject to several forces thatdetermine their mode

34、 of movement. In most instances wheresediment is transported, flow is turbulent so each sedimentparticle is acted upon by both steady and fluctuating forces.The steady force of gravity and the downward component ofturbulent currents accelerate a particle toward the bed. Theforce of buoyancy and the

35、upward components of turbulentcurrents accelerate a particle toward the surface. Relativemotion between the liquid and the particle is opposed by a dragforce related to the fluid properties and the shape and size ofthe particle.6.1.2 Electrical charges on the surface of particles createforces that m

36、ay cause the particles to either disperse orflocculate. For particles in the submicron range, electricalforces may dominate over the forces of gravity and buoyancy.6.1.3 Transport mode is determined by the character of aparticles movement. Clay and silt-size particles are relativelyunaffected by gra

37、vity and buoyant forces; hence, once the3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.D4411 03 (2014)2particles are entrained, they remain suspended within the bodyof the flow for long periods of time and are transported in thesuspended mode.6.1.4 So

38、mewhat larger particles are affected more by grav-ity. They travel in suspension but their excursions into the floware less protracted and they readily return to the bed where theybecome a part of the bed material until they are resuspended.6.1.5 Still larger particles remain in almost continuouscon

39、tact with the bed. These particles, termed bedload, travel ina series of alternating steps interrupted by periods of no motionwhen the particles are part of the streambed. The movement ofbedload particles invariably deforms the bed and produces abed form (that is, ripples, dunes, plane bed, antidune

40、s, etc.),that in turn affects the flow and the bedload movement. Abedload particle moves when lift and drag forces or impact ofanother moving particle overcomes resisting forces and dis-lodges the particle from its resting place.The magnitudes of theforces vary according to the fluid properties, the

41、 mean motionand the turbulence of the flow, the physical character of theparticle, and the degree of exposure of the particle. The degreeof exposure depends largely on the size and shape of theparticle relative to other particles in the bed-material mixtureand on the position of the particle relativ

42、e to the bed form andother relief features on the bed. Because of these factors, evenin steady flow, the bedload discharge at a point fluctuatessignificantly with time. Also, the discharge varies substantiallyfrom one point to another.6.1.6 Within a river or channel, the sizes of the particles intra

43、nsport span a wide range and the flow condition determinesthe mode by which individual particles travel.Achange in flowconditions may cause particles to shift from one mode to theother.6.1.7 For transport purposes, the size of a particle is bestcharacterized by its fall diameter because this describ

44、es theparticles response to the steady forces in the transport process.6.2 Dispersion of Suspended Sediment:6.2.1 The various forces acting on suspended-sedimentparticles cause them to disperse vertically in the flow. Aparticles upward velocity is essentially equal to the differencebetween the mean

45、velocity of the upward currents and theparticles fall velocity. A particles downward velocity isessentially equal to the sum of the mean velocity of thedownward currents and the particles fall velocity. As a result,there is a tendency for the flux of sediment through anyhorizontal plane to be greate

46、r in the downward direction.However, this tendency is naturally counteracted by the estab-lishment of a vertical concentration gradient. Because of thegradient, the sediment concentration in a parcel of water-sediment mixture moving upward through the plane is higherthan the sediment concentration i

47、n a parcel moving downwardthrough the plane. This difference in concentration produces anet upward flux that balances the net downward flux caused bysettling. Because of their high fall velocities, large particleshave a steeper gradient than smaller particles. Fig. 1 (2) shows(for a particular flow

48、condition) the gradients for severalparticle-size ranges. Usually, the concentration of particlessmaller than approximately 60 m will be uniform throughoutthe entire depth.6.2.2 Turbulent flow disperses particles laterally from onebank to the other. Within a long straight channel of uniformcross sec

49、tion, lateral concentration gradients will be nearlysymmetrical and vertical concentration gradients will be simi-lar across the section. However, within a channel of irregularcross section, lateral gradients will lack symmetry and verticalgradients may differ significantly. Fig. 2 (3) illustrates thevariability within one cross section of the Rio Grande.6.2.3 Sediment entering from the side of a channel slowlydisperses as it moves downstream and lateral gradients mayexist for several hundred channel widths downstream.
