SIMULATION OF BED CHANGES IN RIVERS WITH FINITE VOLUME METHOD BY KINEMATIC WAVE MODEL

Predict of sediment particles movement is important mater, that can be help engineers to control flow structures, dams reservoirs, irrigation systems and etc. Simpli fication and sufficient sensible resolute cased to select one dimensional (1-D) approach for simulation of sedime nt transports. In this study we tried to simulate 1 -D phenomena of sediment transport with explicit and i mplicit schemes in equilibrium conditions. In order to solve government equations used finite volume method by uscheme. Finally the model has been verified by Laboratory research and the results are generally f itted well in with the measurements.
