Abstract

The deposition of fine sediments within the surface layer of bed material has a significant impact on the aquatic life that exists in the bed substrate. The current study conducted laboratory experiments to measure the sediment deposition process using a tilting flume. For the experiments, three different uniformly sized gravels were used. The accumulation of fine sediment particles within the pores of the coarse sediment bed surface moving as bed load was investigated at various equilibrium quantities of suspended load in the flow. The present study utilizes a numerical model to quantify the loss in porosity of surface layer bed material induced by this process. The entrainment of deposited particles by clear water inflow to the channel is also investigated. The findings of this study will be useful in future research on the ecological and environmental consequences of riverine systems.
