Sediment Transport Analysis

Sediment transport analysis studies how particles like sand, silt, or gravel move within water or air flows. It helps predict how these particles are eroded from one location, carried by currents, and deposited elsewhere. This understanding is essential for managing riverbeds, shorelines, and waterways, preventing erosion, and designing infrastructure. The analysis considers factors like water speed, flow patterns, particle size, and shape to determine whether sediments will be moved, settled, or eroded. Overall, it provides crucial insights into the natural and human-influenced processes shaping our environments.
