INFORMATION TO USERS

This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction.

1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity.

2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame.

3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

An evaluation of theoretical and empirical studies of flow structure, sediment transport, and sediment size characteristics at the crest of dune-like bedforms indicates that it is possible to analyse quantitatively the diffusion processes and deposition of transported grains on the lee­ side of the bedforms. The numerical program based on these relationships simulates the deposition rate and grain size distribution on the leeside of the bedform for speci­ fied flow conditions and bed material. The results of systematic evaluation of each of the variables through the numerical simulation program have given considerable insight into the influence of each variable on the deposi­ tion rate and texture of leeside sediment before they are affected by avalanching. Sorting of the bed material is found to have great influence not only on the grain size gradient but also on the deposition rate gradient. The predicted and experimental grain size gradient become similar if certain corrections due to size sorting in smaller bedforms, which migrated on the dune stoss in the experiments, are incorporated in the simulation program.

The experimental deposition rate gradient is similar in form to the predicted trend. The absolute values are often

xii lower in magnitude than that predicted numerically because the potential transporting capacity of the flow was not fully satisfied in the experiments.

A semi-quantitative model of the texture of avalanched sediment on the dune lee indicates that the downslope mean size gradient is related to the mean size of the diffused sediment, nature of grain interactions during avalanching, flow speed and sediment transport rate. Experimental data collected broadly support the validity of the model. How­ ever, the experimental results also indicate that sorting of the transported sediment is as important as the other variables listed above in establishing a characteristic grain size gradient of avalanched sediment on the leeside of the dune-like bedform.

xiii INTRODUCTION

Cross-bedding or cross-lamination is one of the most common primary sedimentary structures. Generated by migrating ripples and (Allen, 1963), cross-bedding forms within a turbulent flow system which exerts a strong sorting effect on the transported grains. It is to be expected, therefore, that theoretical analysis and numerical modelling of such a system will provide an understanding of the role that each independent variable plays in controlling the texture of cross-bedded deposits. Studies which have attempted semi-quantitative correlation between sand wave grain size distribution and flow properties include those of Jopling (1964a, 1964b, 1965a, 1965b, 1966a, and 1966b) and Allen (1965, 1968a, and 1968b). The present study aims in developing theoretical and empirical models of the deposition rate and grain size distribution on the leeside of a dune-like bedform and of subsequent avalanching which arises from the differential deposition rate.

Previous Work

Jopling (1966a) assumed that sediment accumulating in the bottomset zone of a delta-like sand body is in a state of suspension at the crest of the body. He estimated the

1 2 paleo-velocity of the stream depositing the sand from the competency relationship of threshold movement and suspension transport. Longitudinal velocity profiles were drawn from the velocity defect law (Sundborg, 1956) of open flow. Inverse path lines were sketched from the site of the bottomset samples in order to estimate from a knowledge of the settling velocities of the particles the projection height of the sampled particles above the stream bed. The paleo-depth was calculated by this so called inverse path line method in which the flow was assumed quasi-laminar

(Fig. 1). Serious objections were raised by Allen (1968b) about some of the simplifying assumptions made by Jopling, most critical of which was the assumption of quasi-laminar flow and exclusion of strong velocity fluctuations in the mixing zone of the leeside of the sand body. Allen (1968a, b) studied the diffusion of grains in the leeside of dunes before they are affected by avalanching. The settling rate at any point on the leeside was empirically determined to be a power function which was dependent on the total transport rate, grain size, and the mean flow velocity.

Allen (1968a) also argued that the mean size of the avalanched sand should have a downslope gradient which he related to the mean grain size, nature of grain interactions during avalanching, flow speed, and sand transport rate. 3

Statement of the Problem

No attempt has yet been made to analyze theoretically

the diffusion and deposition of sediment on the leeside of

dune-like bedforms. Based on theoretical and empirical

relationships, there exists no numerical model which re­

lates the deposition rate and texture of settled sediment before avalanching to the flow and sediment properties.

It is worthwhile, therefore, to explore the possibility

of developing such a model.

A semi-quantitative model of downslope grain size

changes in avalanched sediment was proposed by Allen

(1968a). The model, if correct, is an important step

towards the semi-quantitative estimation of the relative

flow properties of depositional systems from the detailed spatial grain size variations of their cross-laminated deposits, even where the gross grain characteristics are identical. However, very little experimental evidence exists to confirm the predicted size gradient. A set of experiments is required to confirm the main features of the model and to clarify additional variables which might influence the spatial grain size distribution. 6

Objectives

The objectives of the present study are

1. to evaluate theoretical and empirical studies of flow

structure, sediment transport, and sediment size differen­

tiation at the crest of dune-like bedforms and to analyze

diffusion processes and deposition of transported grains

on the leeside of the bedforms with the objective of

simulating numerically the deposition rate and grain size distribution on the leeside of such bedforms for specified

flow conditions and bed material?

2. to evaluate the influence of each variable on the proposed model?

3. to obtain new experimental data on deposition rate and texture of grain settled sediment for comparison with the simulation data, and to discuss the factors responsible for any differences between predicted and actual results?

4. to analyze the process of avalanching and to develop a semi-quantitative model of the texture of avalanched sediment? and

5. to perform a second series of experiments to obtain data on the downslope variation of texture of slipface deposits in a dune-like bedform under varying flow condi­ tions and with differing bed material in order to test the predicted grain size gradient and to discuss and explain 7 the correlation between the two.

Procedure of Analysis

For an analysis to the problem outlined, the processes affecting the grain size distribution before diffusion at the dune crest, during diffusion and sedimentation, and after deposition must be considered. These include:

1. deposition rate and size distribution in grain settled sediment including

a. hydraulic sorting or vertical diffusion of the

grains before they are convected on the leeside

of the dune; and

b. horizontal diffusion, convection, and settling of

the grains on the leeside of the dune, and

2. avalanching of the grains after they settle on the dune leeside. DEPOSITION RATE AND SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN

GRAIN SETTLED SEDIMENT

Theory

The theoretical analysis of the deposition rate and grain size distribution in settled sediment must be based on a knowledge of the following three characteristics:

1. height or flow levels from which the grains are

diffused,

2. grain velocity at each level, and

3. grain transport rate of each grain-size fraction

at each flow level.

These three properties must be determined from (a) the mean grain size, D, standard deviation, a , and the dis­ tribution function, f(D), of the material to be diffused at the dune crest, (b) the mean flow velocity, u, (c) the flow depth, d, and (d) the dune height, H. The flow is assumed to be turbulent and two dimensional and sediment is carried both as bed and suspended load. The flow at the dune crest may be visualized as composed of fluid layers of uniform thickness. Such division into discrete layers is advantageous for numerical calculation as each of the parcels is expected to have different characters

8 9

as outlined (1 to 3) above.

Flow Zones

Assuming that the flow is fully developed, turbulent, and rough, the flow field may be divided into two zones between which flow and sediment characteristics can be expected to differ: the bedload zone near the bed and the zone of suspended transport higher in the flow field.

Above the stationary bed, in which limiting static shear resistance is greater than the total applied shear stress, the bedload layer represents a distinct region. It is expected that its thickness will be complexly related to the fluid flow properties and grain size. The thickness of the zone was determined by Kalinske (1942) in the form of the height of rise of the saltating grains of a given diameter, (D), as r x D. The parameter r was defined by the relation

r = [1/ (2gD (pg - pf)/pf u2 + 0.75 Cd pf/ps)] (1) where = drag co-efficient of the grains,

pg = density of the grains, and

= density of the fluid.

Cd can be derived from the particle Reynolds Number

(Re = ~ ~ , where v = kinematic viscosity of the fluid) 10

from the relation

_ 24 , 0.687. (1 + 0.15 Re ) (2)

The approximation was given by Schiller et al. (1933) for

Re <_ 800. The rest of the flow field is occupied by the suspended-load zone.

Flow and Grain Velocity Profiles

The flow velocity profiles in the bed and suspended load zone are necessarily distinct and different. In the bedload layer, the fluid flow velocities are difficult to measure, but generally increase with increasing distance from the static bed. It is obvious that grains in the bedload zone would have a transport velocity substantially smaller than the fluid flow velocity. However, an indirect approach from some bedload discharge relationship may be sought. Bagnold (1973), from the approach of general physics, derived a bedload discharge equation which can be evaluated. In the equation given by Bagnold (1973) the group 0.37d . . UB = u - 5.75 u, log10 - Vq (3) corresponds to the grain velocity in the bedload layer, where VQ = fall velocity of the grain. The only undetermined quantity in equation (3) is *n' which was 11

empirically related by Bagnold (1973) as

n = 1.4 (u /u )°'6 (4) o

where u. = shear stress velocity.

u. can be obtained from the relation o

u* = V (0.756 C,)°*5 (5) *o o o d

where 9q = Shields parameter for initiation of erosion.

6q can be best obtained from the grain boundary Reynolds

Number (Re* = from the modified Shields diagram given by White (1970). The approach of Bagnold (1973), however,

gives only an average value for the grain velocity in the bedload zone which is useful in bedload discharge calcula­

tion. If the bedload zone is several grains diameter

thick, as an approximation for the grain velocity profile, we may use the relationship developed by Lowe (1976) for

steady and uniform grain flows. The velocity profile in

such flows is given by

URB y = max [1 - (1 ~ y/y)3/2J (6) where u = grain velocity in the bedload zone at a y distance y from the static bed,

u = grain velocity at the top of the bedload surface, max 12 and

Y = thickness of the bedload zone.

The difference between grain flow, initiated and maintained by gravity acting on the grains directly, and bedload dis­ charge by fluid force is obvious and cannot be compared sensu strieto. In both cases, however, a thin layer of sediment is sheared against a static bed and a velocity gradient is established in the moving bed. Comparison between the velocity gradient curve given by Allen (1968b) for bedload transport and that given by Lowe (1976) for grain flow shows that they are similar in form. In the absence of a suitable function defining the grain velocity profile in the bedload zone, equation (6) developed for grain flow will be followed in this analysis. It is diffi­ cult to evaluate the magnitude of the error that will be introduced from this approximation.

The fluid flow velocity profile in the suspended load zone can be estimated conveniently using the procedure of

Brook (1963). Assuming the logarithmic velocity defect law,

u = u . + — lny/d (7) y max(at y = d) k and integrating for u equation (7) can be recast in the form 13

(8) where f = Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, and

k = von Karman's constant.

After substitution of u* by u “S/ f / Q and rearrangement equation (8) yields

u = u [1 + (1 + 2.3 log1Q y/d)] (9) Y

< has a value of about 0.4 for clear water, but determina­ tion of f is difficult. The approach of Lovera and Kennedy

(1969) can be used. They obtained the friction factor due to the grains alone from the flow Reynolds Number and the ratio d/D. Because we are considering that the bedload zone is defined by saltating grains (i.e., no other bedform migrates on the back of the dune-like bedform) no additional frictional component due to bedform is considered. If it is further assumed that the grain velocity of the suspended load zone at each flow level is very nearly equal to the fluid velocity at each corresponding level of the grain- free fluid, the fluid flow velocity profile given by equation (9) becomes the grain velocity profile in the suspended load zone. The accuracy of equation (9) in predicting the true velocity profile, however, depends on the assumptions that the fluid is not carrying any sediment and that it is moving past a fixed bed. Both these condi­

tions are not satisfied in the present case and are sources

of error. However, experimental variation of k is very

small, and therefore the magnitude of error will be

minimum.

Sediment Transport Rates

The sediment concentration profile in the suspended

load zone is generally given in the form (Rouse, 1938)

V o /S k u * 2 L = fd-y . a_ (10) Ca y d-a where Cy = concentration at distance y from the bed,

Ca = concentration at a reference point located y a

above the bed, and

6 = ratio between sediment and momentum diffusion.

Equation (10) has several limitations which make it un­ suitable for use in the present study including the condi­

tion that the reference concentration cannot be taken very near the bed. A more useful approximation is given by

Lane and Kalinske (1941) (see Raudkivi, 1967, p. 127;

Graf, 1971). 15 where t = VQ/u*.

The limitations and sources of error of equation (10) and

(11) have been discussed thoroughly in the literature (for example, Graf, 1971) and are not repeated here. Equation

(11) must, however, be applied to individual particle size fractions and can be applied iteratively, giving the total concentration at any level. Hie procedure of integration has been developed by Brush (1965). Assuming that 't* follows a normal distribution, then

where o standard deviation of V calculated from V,o o the particle size distribution, and y = mean Vq calculated from mean particle size.

The fraction of sediment in suspension of a discrete size class, 1, between two V limits can then be written as o

+ h. (vQ/u *) * f (V /u ) d (V /u ) (13) O * o *

Vo k - H (VQ/u*) u *

Also from equation (11) 16

(14) (Cx)a

Multiplying equation (13) by equation (14) and taking sizes i to j into consideration

where (CT)y = total concentration of sediment at any

level y, and

(CT)a = total concentration of sediment at a

reference level a.

For a completely deterministic model, the value of (cT)a for any chosen reference level must be considered and evaluated. Lane and Kalinske (1939) related the amount of the material in suspension at or very near the bottom

(a ~ 0) to the bottom composition and to the hydraulic factors tending to cause the material to be placed in suspension. For a given size fraction, i, the concentra­ tion at a * 0 is given approximately by

.1.61 (16) (C,) AF . X 5.55 Pi i a“0 cx 17

Fc^ = the percentage of the size class i present in

the total distribution, and

P± = (l/t±) f t e-t dt (17) t . i

The constant in equation (16) was, however, derived by

Lane and Kalinske (1939) from field data from large

like the Mississippi. Assumptions were also made that the

turbulence follows the normal error law, and error function was introduced in evaluating the variable P .. Equation x (17) can be integrated in a closed form as

(18)

For the entire distribution, therefore, the total concentration at * a' is

3 1.61 ( O = y, Fc, X 5.55 P, (19) T a=0 4-1 , i i i=l

Substituting equation (19) into equation (15), an expression for total concentration can be obtained at any level as 18

3 (cT )y = Z (AFc±X 5.55 P.1 *61) i=l

X J f (t)dt X e

Equation (20) can be evaluated numerically to calculate the transport rate of each fraction of suspended sediment at each level of the flow for all flow levels.

The derivation of bedload transport rate function is one of the much disputed and discussed topics in the dynamics of solid-liquid systems. Many theoretical and empirical relationships exist, but most require the know­ ledge of parameters in addition to those which we have assumed to be known. A survey of the literature shows that the function best suited for our analysis is given by Bagnold (1973) as

= aruy tl _ 5.75_ u ^ h og10 (y/nD) + ur] (21) y

A number of approximations were made by Bagnold (1973) on the basis of strong empirical reasons as follows:

u* - u* a = ~ * o , and u, tan « = 0.63. 19

A further approximation for wide channels may be made for

t as follows (Schlichting, 1951, p. 356? Sundborg, 1956,

p. 154, especially footnote):

t = t (1 = y/d) * t o o

The total bedload transport rate can be divided among the

individual size fractions according to the probability

distribution of the bed material through the error function.

Unfortunately, measurement techniques of bedload discharge

have not reached a satisfactory stage and it is difficult,

therefore, to evaluate Bagnold9s equation in terms of the

magnitude of variation it can introduce under different

flow conditions.

Path Length

It is necessary now to review and examine critically

the flow characteristics due to presence of a dune on the

static bed. The flow past a dune has been linked to that past a negative step with a sharp edge. In real fluid

flow, separation at the crest of the step is the rule and

reattachment takes place some distance downstream of the

crest. The flow thus may be compared to a two dimensional plane half jet reattaching to a semi-rigid body at the downstream end of the negative step. A captive eddy or vortex termed the separation bubble is located behind the 20 attachment point in the corner. The flow characteristics past the step show important temporal and spatial fluc­ tuations, the understanding of which is essential for the study of sediment dispersion on the leeside of the dune.

Following Jopling (1965a) and Allen (1968a) a number of regions of contrasted flow structure may be identified

(Fig. 2). Above the boundary layer, the undisturbed stream shows low intensity turbulence. The free boundary layer shows steep velocity gradient. The mixing region resulting from the instability of the free shear layer shows strong velocity and pressure fluctuation. The other distinct region, the separation bubble, is characterized by rotating fluid with a horizontal axis perpendicular to the flow.

The turbulent intensity is low in this region with a sluggishly rotating mass of the fluid. The last region is the reattachment flow zone with large turbulence intensity.

As discussed by Allen (1968b), the settling of grains on the leeside of a dune cannot be treated simply as the resultant of the free fall velocity and the forward grain velocity in the mixing region. This is evidently due to the large temporal and spatial fluctuations of velocity in the mixing zone which makes any estimate of 'average' velocity meaningless.

Separation bubble 23 travelling at the same average velocity take a number of trajectories as they are diffused on the leeside of the dune. Allen (1968a) concluded from his experiments that the path lengths, i.e., the horizontal projection distance of the trajectories taken by the grains, follow a log normal distribution and so can be characterized by a median path length and logarithmic standard deviation. However, the experimental data were collected from the slipface region only. Also only a limited range of settling velocity (V ) to grain velocity (u ), and the height from which the grains were propelled (y) to the dune height (H) were investigated.

However, his extrapolation over a much larger field (Allen,

1968a, Fig. 18.11, p. 369) can be adopted for the calcula­ tion of the grain path length. It should be mentioned that Allen's experiment excluded aggregate and collective settling which are modifying factors influencing the grain path length.

Numerical Analysis

On the basis of the preceding discussion, it is now possible to simulate numerically the grain size and deposi­ tion rate gradient on the leeside of a dune knowing only five variables: particle mean size, sorting, depth of flow, flow velocity, and dune height. 24

Procedure

The numerical calculation is programmed for processing by computer. The program is written in Fortran language, a listing of which is given in Appendix 1. A flow chart des­ cribing the steps involved in the calculation is given in

Fig. 3. A few salient points of the program should be mentioned. From the five input variables, the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor is first obtained from the graph of Lovera and Kennedy (1969) (Fig. 4), and is incorporated as an input variable. Two regression equations are used to calculate

Shields parameter and the grain path length. These equations are derived from data points generated from the graph (Fig.

5) given by White (1970) and Allen (1968a) respectively

(Fig. 6). The free fall velocity of particles of a given size is calculated from the empirical relationship of Gibbs et a l (1971). The size range to be considered for integra­ tion is determined separately from the mean size and standard deviation so as to include 9 9 % of the size distribution curve. This is calculated easily assuming a log normal distribution in which 9 9 % of the size distribution curve lies between + 2.576 a of the mean. The dune is considered to be in equilibrium with the flow such that no smaller bedform migrates on its stoss side. It is assumed also that there is no size sorting in the bedload layer before the Fig. 3. Flow chart outlining the main steps involved

in the numerical simulation program. 26

grains are diffused at the crest. The flow zone is

divided into layers of 0.1 cm. thick for integration.

The probability of a given outcome, whether it be of the

fraction of solid present in the population or of a grain

of a given size taking a particular chosen path length

after diffusion, is calculated through the error function

as the total probability, Pr, up to that fraction or path

length. The probability of an individual outcome is cal­ culated by subtracting from Pr the total probability Pr^ where |Pr-Pr^| is the size interval or path length interval chosen. The concentration equation of suspended load gives finite values for all size classes under all flow conditions. It is obvious that for large grain sizes, although there is a finite calculated concentration, no grains are actually suspended. However, in the absence of any well defined way to eliminate such predicted values, it is left to the computer to eliminate and set equal to zero any concentration which is below a designated level *—68 (■^1 X 10 ). The size gradient and the deposition rate are calculated as if material is being deposited in

2 cm intervals starting from the crest of the dune up to

84 cm downstream from the crest. The output from the program is in the form of 3 sets of data each with 42 , 2 . values of size in phi units, deposition rate m gm/cm /sec, 34 and relative deposition rate compared with the total deposition over the 84 cm interval.

In order to evaluate the role of each variable in influencing the size and deposition rate gradient, a number of numerical experiments have been conducted. The input values of a particular variable are varied from one experi­ ment to another, keeping all other variables constant. The input data for the experiments are listed in Appendix 2.

Listed in Appendix 3 are the values of grain size variation in phi units, deposition rate, and relative deposition rate 2 in gm/cm /sec over the area under consideration. The results of these numerical experiments have given consider­ able insight into the role played by each variable in in­ fluencing the size and deposition rate gradient on the leeside of a dune.

Dimensional Analysis

Before attempting an analysis of the individual in­ fluence of each variable, it is necessary to make a dimensional analysis of the variables involved. The following eight variables are relevant:

u, d, p_, y , D, p , a , and g. f s

Setting aside for the moment the controversy over the 35

dimension of phi units (Blatt et al_., 1970) we may attach

a length dimension to both D and o . Dimensional analysis with the restriction that any two of the variables u, d, D,

and 0 cannot appear together in any grouping yields the

following dimensionless terms (Southard, 1971):

2 1/3 1/3 2 1/3 2 1/3 fS\ d, /Pf\ ujp fg\ D, and fp fg\ a

If we restrict ourselves to quartz sediment in water at constant temperature, the first dimensionless term and the co-efficients in the terms become constant. So the results of numerical analysis can be evaluated in terms of variation of only u, d, D, and cr . We may mention that another variable, H, the height of the dune, is treated here as constant at 15 cm. This is because the empirical data used for calculation of path length was collected by

Allen (1968a) for H = 15 cm only.

Size Gradient

A size gradient is defined here as positive when the mean size increases with increasing distance downstream from the dune crest. Similarly, a negative size gradient implies decreasing mean size with increasing distance down­ stream from the dune crest. The grain size gradients obtained by the numerical simulation program under varying 36

flow conditions with sediment of three different mean sizes are shown graphically in Appendix 4. The curves show a negative size gradient except for the first 2 cm of the leeside.

In all the sizes considered, very well sorted bed material ( cr = 0.35) yields a curve which has a very slight negative gradient. The curve becomes increasingly asymptotic, with the development of a concave-upward profile, as the sorting is increased from 0.35 to 1.5. This is true over a 2.5-fold increase in flow velocity from 40 cm/sec to

90 cm/sec.

In the fine sand range (D = 2.5), and for experiments with high velocity and low flow depth, the leeside sediment deposited within 84 cm of the dune crest using poorly sorted bed material (Fig. 7, curve 38) is coarser grained than that deposited using the well sorted bed material (Fig. 7, curve

36). For experiments with a low velocity and high water depth (Fig. 8), the leeside sediment formed from the poorly sorted bed material is coarser only within a few cm of the crest. Because of the very steep negative side gradient obtained with the poorly sorted bed material in these experi­ ments, more distal leeside sediment is actually finer grained than that with better sorted bed material. However, except in the two experiments with low velocity (u = 40 cm/sec) and 37

high water depth (d = 30 cm and 50 cm) there is a direct positive relationship between sorting and grain size in the diffused sediment within the 84 cm zone of the dune crest. This relation becomes more pronounced as the flow velocity is increased and/or flow depth is decreased.

The same general relationship can be observed in the experiments with medium sand (D = 1.5) . At low flow velocity, the leeside sediment deposited using poorly sorted bed material is coarser only on the uppermost part of the leeslope than that deposited using well sorted material (Fig. 9). Further downsiope, it is finer grained.

The distance over which the leeside sediment formed from poorly sorted bed material is also coarser increases with increasing flow strength until at very high flow strength

(u = 90 cm/sec and d = 15 cm) (Fig. 10) the leeside sediment using poorly sorted bed material is coarser over the entire

84 cm zone than that deposited using well sorted sediment.

In experiments with coarse sand (D = 0.50), the trend of progressive shortening of the zone over which the leeside sediment formed from poorly sorted bed material is coarse is extreme. Even under the highest flow strength (u = 90 cm/sec and d = 15 cm) the leeside sediment formed from poorly sorted bed material is coarser only on the upper

40 cm of the dune lee than that from well sorted sediment 42

(Fig. 11). Under most of the flow conditions, the leeside sediment deposited using poorly sorted bed material is coarser only within a few cm off the dune crest, beyond which it is actually finer.

The above trend can be explained in terms of flow competence. When the bed material is poorly sorted, the flow is supplied with more coarse and fine particles than when the sediment has the same mean size but a lower sorting index. In the fine sand range, however, under most of the flow condition investigated, the flow is able to transport a greater amount of coarse sediment when poorly sorted sediment is used, and diffuse it over some distance on the dune lee. The increased finer grained material at the same time will be diffused to greater distances (beyond the 84 cm field used in the experiment). The leeside sediment in the case of the poorly sorted bed material is, therefore, coarser over some distance beyond the dune crest than that with the well sorted sediment. The distance over which the flow could diffuse the coarser grains, however, decreases with decrease in flow strength (Fig. 8) until at extreme low flow strength, it could diffuse them only to a short distance off the dune crest. Therefore beyond this dis­ tance the leeside sediment actually is fine grained.

With medium and coarse sand bed material, the flow is 45

supplied with coarser grains compared to the fine grained

bed material. Comparisons between poorly sorted and well

sorted medium- and coarse-grained sediment show that for

the former, the flow will be supplied with some relatively

coarser particles which can be diffused only a short dist­

ance beyond the dune crest, the increased finer grained

material being carried much further downstream. As a

result, the leeside sediment with the poorly sorted bed

material is coarser than that with the well sorted bed

material only over a small distance beyond the dune crest.

This distance increases very slowly with increasing flow

strength. Thus even at a very high flow strength (u = 90

cm/sec and d = 15 cm) the leeside formed from poorly sorted bed material is coarser only for a short distance. This distance decreases rapidly with increase in the mean size of the bed material.

The evaluation of the influence of sorting on size gradient under varying flow conditions has already given indications about the effects of velocity on the size gradient of the leeside sediment. Variation of grain size gradient with changes in flow velocity holding all other variables constant is shown in Appendix 4. As expected, increasing the velocity not only makes the leeside sediment coarser but also decreases the size gradient. This is true 48

for all size classes with all degrees of sorting and for

all water depths. The explanation lies in the fact that with increase in velocity, the competence of the flow is

increased and the grain path lengths are also increased.

The result is that more coarse particles are not only

supplied to the dune lee but also they are diffused over a longer distance and larger area.

It follows from the above discussion also that in­ creasing flow depth holding all other variables constant will have the same effect as decreasing the velocity.

Figs. 12 and 13 in Appendix 4 show the results of plotting grain size with downstream distance for groups of data gen­ erated for constant velocity, particle size and sorting.

As can be expected, the leeside sediment becomes coarser and the size gradient becomes flatter as water depth is decreased for flows with same velocity, mean size, and sorting. This can be explained in the same way as we have explained the effect of increasing velocity.

The effect of changing particle mean size while holding flow conditions constant is straightforward. It is obvious that the mean size will increase, but it is also reasonable to expect that the gradient will be steeper. Figs. 14-17 in Appendix 4 show the variation of grain size gradient with increase in mean particle size of the bed material holding 49

all other variables constant. The explanation of the in­

crease in the grain size gradient with increasing size lies

in the fact that, when grain size is increased, the flow is

required to transport coarser materials, which it can diffuse

only to a short distance, the overall capacity of the flow

remaining the same. Therefore, the grain size in the upper

part of the dune lee will receive more coarse particles com­

pared to that in the lower part, in case of a coarse bed

stock. The result will be a steep grain size gradient in

the dune lee with coarse bed material.

Deposition Rate Gradient

Except for the first 2 cm of the dune lee the data points of deposition rate obtained in the numerical experi­ ments fall in a straight line with a negative gradient on

log-log paper.

Increasing the sorting index of the bed material has

a considerable influence on the deposition rate on the dune

lee. Although the absolute gradient does not vary signi­

ficantly with change in the sorting of the bed material, the relative position (i.e., whether deposition rate de­ creases or increases over the first 84 cm of the dune lee) changes differently under different flow conditions and bed material size. 50

In the fine sand range (D = 2.5) and at low flow velocity and high water depth (u = 40 cm/sec and d = 50 cm), the deposition rate decreases with increasing sorting index over the 84 cm zone. However, with high velocity and low flow depth (u = 90 cm/sec and d = 15 cm), the deposition rate increases with increasing sorting index over the same 84 cm zone (Fig. 12).

In experiments with medium and coarse sand (D = 1.5 and 0.50), both in high and low velocity ranges, an increase in sorting index is accompanied by a decrease in the deposition rate over the 84 cm zone (Fig. 13 and 14).

The effect of sorting on the deposition rate curves under varying flow conditions with different bed material can be explained as we have done for the mean size gradient.

An increase in sorting index (decrease in sorting) implies that the flow will be supplied with relative greater amounts of both very coarse and very fine sediment. In the fine sand range and at low flow velocity (Fig. 12) the additional coarse material is transported in small quanti­ ties or may not be transported at all by the flow. The deposition rate decreases with increasing sorting index.

However, at a high flow velocity (Fig. 12) the flow can transport the coarse fractions in much greater quantity and consequently the deposition rate on the 84 cm zone 51

increases with increase in sorting index. However, with medium and coarse sand bed material, even the highest flow

stage (u = 90 cm/sec and d = 15 cm) is unable to entrain

sufficient amount of additional coarse material when sorting

index is increased. The result is that the deposition rate over the 84 cm zone actually decreases as the sorting index increases.

The effect of velocity changes on the deposition rate gradient is direct. When velocity is increased, the capa­ city of the flow is increased. At high velocities, the flow is able to diffuse the particles at a greater rate, so the deposition rate increases over that under low velocity conditions. This is true for all flow conditions and sediment characteristics. Variations under some extreme flow conditions are shown graphically in Figs. 1A, B, and

C of Appendix 5.

Increasing flow depth has the effect of decreasing flow velocity. Increasing water depth, holding all other variables constant, decreases the deposition rate gradient over the 84 cm zone. This evidently implies that as the flow strength is reduced by increasing water depth, parti­ cles are transported at a lower rate, and the deposition rate is reduced. Plots of deposition rate against distance from the dune crest are shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of Appendix 5. 58

The effect on the deposition rate profile of changing the mean particle size of the bed material is somewhat complex, and is intimately connected with the flow velocity.

In the low velocity flows (u = 40 cm/sec) the deposition rate over the 84 cm zone of the dune lee for coarse bed material (D = 0.50$) is lower than that for medium (D =

1.54>) and fine (5 = 2.5 ) bed material (Fig. 15). This is true for both poorly and well sorted sediment ( 0 = 0.35,

0.71, and 1.5$). However, the deposition rate with bed material of mean size 2.5 $ is lower than that with mean size 1.5$, except beyond 70 cm of the dune crest. When velocity is increased to 65 cm/sec, the deposition rate

(Fig. 16) for 2.5 $ is much lower within the 84 cm zone than that for D = 1.5$ and 0. 5^ - Between the latter two in the same velocity range, the deposition rate for D =

1.5$ is lower up to about 15 cm from the dune crest beyond which it is higher. When velocity is increased to 90 cm/sec, the deposition rate (Fig. 16) for D = 2.5$ is lower than that with bed material with D = 1.5$ and 0.5$. Between the latter two, the deposition rate with D = 1.5$ is lower over the 84 cm zone, but tends to be higher beyond this zone.

We may attempt to explain the above behaviour in more or less the same fashion as we have done before. At low flow velocity (u = 40 cm/sec), bed material with mean size 59

of 0.5 is massive and little is entrained and moved over

the dune crest: the deposition rate is low over the dune

lee. When the mean size is decreased, more sediment is

supplied to the dune lee and the deposition rate increases.

However, for fine sand (D = 2.54>), the grains are convected

to a greater distance compared to that for medium sand (D =

1.54>) . The result is that the deposition rate (Fig. 15) is lower for D = 2.5$ near the dune crest up to a distance of about 70 cm from the crest, and greater in the zone be­ yond this point compared to the deposition rate for D =

1. 5 . When flow velocity is increased to 65 cm/sec, deposi­ tion (Fig. 15) over the 84 cm zone for D = 2.5$ decreases compared to that with coarser stocks as grains are convected to a greater distance. However, the competence of the flow is now sufficient to entrain significant quantities of the coarse bed stock of D = 0.5, and diffuse it over a short distance beyond the dune crest. The result is that the deposition rate is higher over a narrow zone of the dune lee compared to that with bed stock of D = 1.5^. However, beyond this zone the deposition rate is lower than that for

D = 1.54> . When velocity is further increased to 90 cm/sec, the distance over which grains of the coarsest stock (D =

0.5) can be diffused is increased so much that the deposi­ tion rate (Fig. 15) for this stock is higher compared to 64

those with the finer stocks over the 84 cm zone of the dune lee. There is, however, a definite tendency for the deposition rate to be lower beyond this zone.

It is necessary to say a few words on the grain size and deposition rate gradient obtained in the first 2 cm of the dune lee. Allen (1968a) has argued that the settling rate of a particular grade on the dune lee follows a proba­ bility density function which is very strongly skewed towards the larger values of the path length. Nonetheless, we have assumed that the grain path length is log normally distributed, ignoring the fact that the grain settling rate attains a maximum very close to the dune crest, the deposition at the very crest being zero. Nothing is known experimentally or theoretically about the distance of this settling maximum from the dune crest and the dependence of this distance on flow and sediment properties. It is likely, therefore, that the deposition rate and the size characteristics on the dune lee including this distance will show results which we might not be able to explain fully.

Summarizing, the numerical experiments have shown that the size characteristics of bed material (mean size as well as sorting) play a significant role in determining the

original size gradient of the leeside deposit of a dune. 65

Size distribution also has a major effect in controlling the deposition rate gradient on the dune lee. Since the deposition rate is intimately connected with the transport mechanism of open channel flow in general, it is essential that sorting of the bed material be considered as one of the variables influencing the transport rate of a stream.

Experiments

In order to verify the theoretically and numerically defined aspects of grain settled sediment on the leeside of a dune-like bedform, a series of flume experiments were devised.

Experimental Arrangement

The experiments were carried out at the 'Temperature

Control Flume Facility' of the U. S. Army Corps of Engin­ eers, Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Although the temperature control devices were not employed, its other characteristics made the flume quite suitable for the designed experiments. The flume, which is nearly 30 meters long, 91.4 cm wide, and 30.5 cm deep, is constructed of plastic coated metal (Figs. 17 and 18). Mounted on the walls of the flume channel is a pair of rails which parallel the flume bed. Elevations of the bed and the water surface 6 6

Section A - A 70 were measured using a point gauge operated from a carriage mounted on these rails. The flume is also equipped with a push-button slope control by a system of jacks to obtain

slopes up to 2.5 percent.

Water is recirculated through the flume by means of one of the three electrically driven centrifugal pumps.

The flow circuit is from a main reservoir tank, through the metal channel, and back into the reservoir. The channel is preceded in the water circuit by a stilling tank. Water discharged by the pump enters the tank from the top by a pipe, the outlet end of which remains submerged when the tank is half-full. The stilling tank is provided with wire netting to smooth the flow. Water that has passed down the channel is discharged over a continuously adjustable sharp- crested tailgate into the reservoir tank.

The sediment feeder of the flume is a piston below a rectangular bucket. It is located beneath the bed at the upstream end of the flume between the stilling tank and the channel (Fig. 19). The rate of piston movement deter­ mines the sediment feed and can be controlled by the operating rate of the screw jacks which raise the piston.

A metal plate completely covers the sediment feeder at its lower position. The difference between the sediment levels in the feeder before and after an experiment gives the 71

Discharge was calculated by means of a mercury-water

manometer mounted on the return pipe of the water circuit.

Mean velocity was calculated from the measured discharge

and measured mean depth, the width of the flume being fixed

and known. Local point velocity was measured using a small

Price-type meter and an electronic counting unit

for mean velocity over a thirty second period.

Bed Modelling and Apparatus

A wedge-shaped bedform was modelled on the flume floor

near the inlet end. The bedform was modelled with a cement-

sand mixture except the slip face. The first 12 cm of the

stoss-side had a steep slope while the remaining part making

up most of the stoss-side had a very gentle slope (less than

a degree). The crestal platform was 35 cm long so that the height of the dune at the brink point was about 15 cm. A transversely partitioned sediment collector, of the type used by Allen (1968b), made in the shape of the leeward part of a dune-like bedform, was placed downstream of the wedge-shaped bed (Fig. 20). The collector fitted across the full width of the flume and was 84 cm long. It was divided into 42 compartments by thin but rigid metal walls spaced 2 cm apart along the flow line. Each Fig. 20.

Ol 76 compartment was thoroughly sealed with rubber cement. The

first ten compartments represented the slipface and their tops sloped at about 32 degrees. The tops of the remaining

32 compartments were at an uniform height of 3 cm from the flume bed. These latter compartments represented the bottomset zones of the bedform. The apparatus was secured to the flume bed by rubber cement.

Experimental Procedure and Initial Calculations

The actual complete experiment involved the following steps:

1. The sediment feeder was lowered so that the cover plate was slightly below the level of the flume bed. The sediment level in the feeder in such a position was more than 15 cm below the flume bed. This insured that no sediment moved in the flume bed until the feeder was raised.

2. Water of pre-selected discharge was introduced into the flume channel.

3. By adjusting the tail gate and the slope of the flume, the desired flow depth was obtained.

4. The flow was maintained under these conditions for several hours during which the water surface profile was measured with the point gauge. When there was no change in the profile, current meter readings were taken along 77

and within the flow field.

5. A calculation was then made of the total sediment dis­ charge that may be appropriate for the flow condition established using the empirical relationship given by

Colby (1964), and from this the sand feed rate was esti­ mated .

6. The sediment feeder was raised first at a faster rate than that calculated in (5) until the sediment level in the feeder attained a height equal to the gently sloping stoss side of the artificial dune in the flume bed. After­ wards it was operated at the calculated speed. The water surface profile was periodically measured during the experi­

ment .

7. The flow separated at the crest of the collector, and the grains were discharged into the separated region before finally settling in the collector and beyond the region occupied by the collector.

8. When any of the compartments became near full with sedi­ ment the flow was stopped, and the flume was drained very slowly. The sediment collector was then taken out of the flume bed.

9. Grains were collected from each compartment through a small hole near the base. These holes were kept completely closed during the experimentation. 78

10. Samples thus collected were dried and weighed. The rate of grain settling W, measured in dry weight/unit area/ unit time was calculated from the weight of each sample, the duration of the experiment, and the area from which the sample was collected.

11. If the weight of the sample was not more than 20 gms, it was sieved for 15 minutes at 0.25‘I* interval in rotap.

In case of larger samples, they were split with a sample splitter into fractions of about 20 gms.

12. Size statistics of Folk (1968) were calculated by a computer program in which the critical percentile values were obtained by normal linear interpolation between data points plotted from sieve grain diameter and corresponding weight percents. All computing was done through the

Louisiana State University IBM 360 computer facility.

13. Knowing the size distribution of each sample, the settling rate of a specified grade was calculated. The total sediment transport rate was calculated from the sum of the weights in the collectors and on the flume bed down­ stream of the collector.

Bed Stocks

The experiments were conducted using four quartz , each with a different mean size and sorting. Fig. 21 79

illustrates the size distributions of the sediment. Sand 2 used in the experiments 25 to 27 was medium sand (M = Z 1.078$ ), moderately well sorted ( o = 0.604$), leptokurtic

(K = 1.173), coarse skewed (S^ = =0.144). A somewhat finer grained sediment, sand 3, was employed in experiments 22 to

24. This sediment was unimodal (with M = 1.945), well z sorted ( 0 = 0.491$), but was mesokurtic (K = 1.081), and g near symmetrical (S^ = -0.072). The third bed stock, sand

4, used in experiments 17 to 19, was also medium sand (M =

1.606$) and was also well sorted ( ° = 0.373$), mesokurtic

(K = 0.946), and near symmetrical (S, = -0.033). The g k fourth bed stock, "sand 1", was actually , with a mean size of -2.099$ and sorting of 0.372$ . However, it was strongly fine skewed (S^ = 0.492) and it did not have a log normal distribution.

The grading of the bed stock was representative of the sediment that was put in the sediment feeder. However, the sediment feeding arrangement was such that a somewhat modified sediment whose size was appropriate for a particu­ lar flow condition was transported and entered the flume channel. As such, the size characteristics of the trans­ ported sand varied from experiment to experiment though the same stock was used for a set of experiments. 82

In all the experiments except those with sand 1, the finer sediment was entrained first from the sediment feeder, moved as isolated ripples up the stoss side of the artificial dune, and was diffused first. The main sediment front moved behind these isolated ripples at a slower speed, and never reached the brinkpoint of the artificial dune before the experiment was stopped. In experiments with sand 1 83

(experiments 20 and 21), individual rolling grains first

separated out of the main sediment front and were diffused on the leeside. Subsequently, the main sediment front, a plane bed up to 3 grains diameter thick, travelled up to the brinkpoint of the dune and sediment was diffused from this front.

Settling Rate of Mixed Sizes

The grains of the bedload layer and of any accompanying suspended load, after entering the unstable free boundary layer, become widely dispersed in the lee of the dune. The rate at which grains arrive at any point on the bed down­ stream of separation can be defined most conveniently by the weight settling rate, W.

Figs. 22-25 show, for the four bedstocks, the variation of W with the path length, X, the horizontal distance from the brink of the dune. The curves all have the same general form, although the measured settling rates vary widely from experiment to experiment. The settling rate is an inverse function of path length. The rate of change of W with X is large over the sloping part of the lee, and, for comparable values of t is greater in the case of the coarse grained stock (sand 2) than for finer grained (sand 3). The de­ cline of W over the bottomset for bed stock 2, 3, and 4 is Fig. 22. Deposition rate gradient of grain settled

variable but gradual. However, for comparable values of

tq, the rate of decline is highest for the coarse grained

stock. There is, therefore, a fairly definite break in the

slope of the deposition rate near the toe of the siipface.

For the bed stock of (sand 1) there is no deposition

on the bottomset zone.

If the weight of grains that settled in a particular

compartment is divided by the total weight of the grains

deposited on the lee of the dune, a relative weight con­

centration of grains at the chosen path length is obtained.

Multiplying by 100, we obtain the relative weight concen­

tration, C , in the form of a percentage frequency. Figs.

26 and 27 show the variation of C with log X. The curves w are of same general form. For smaller values of X the

data are found to plot as roughly straight lines. At

larger values of X a slight concavity is observed in all

the experiments.

Figs. 22-25 are log-log plots of W against X for the

data listed in Appendix 7. With bed stock of sand 2 and

larger values of To and i (experiments 26 and 27) the fit

to straight lines is satisfactory though there appears to be two breaks in slope, one at X » 20 cm and the other at

X ~ 40 cm. With the lowest values of t q and i (experiment

25), the fit to a single straight line is less satisfactory. 93

However, beyond X = 3 cm a single straight line could be fitted to the data points. With bed stocks of sand 3 and larger values of and i (experiments 22 and 23), the plots show identical results in detail as those of experi­ ments 26 and 27. With smaller values of t and i, the o results are identical as in experiment 25, though the fit to straight line for X greater than 3 cm is better. Ex­ periments with bed stock of sand 4 show identical trend of variation of W on path length. In experiments with sand 1 (pebble size particles), the data could be fitted to a straight line with a steep negative gradient as in the other experiments. However, the size distribution of the bed stock is strongly fine skewed compared to the near symmetrical log-normal distribution of common natural sand used in other experiments. Therefore, deposition rate and mean size gradients cannot be simulated numerically, neither will it be proper to compare the co-efficients of a general function relating these gradients with those obtained using the other three bedstocks. As such, the following discus­ sion excludes experiments with bed stock of sand 1.

The above analysis of data suggests that the prob­ ability density function defining the variation of W with

X for experimental data could be approximated by a power function over the combined length of the slipface and 98

bottomset zone. However, the degree of association improves

if two regions are separately treated. Appendix 8 shows the

results of regression analysis for each of the experiments

with sand 2, sand 3, and sand 4. The power function can be

represented by the following equation

n W = aX (22)

where a and n are co-efficients. If we restrict ourselves

to slip face region only, which is of greater interest to

us, we can relate the experimental transport rate to the variable a in the power function as

(23)

where c = co-efficient, of grain coarseness. The calcu- s lated values of c^ show that it generally decreases with decrease in mean size (Table 2). 99

The exponent n decreases with increasing mean flow velocity and can be related to the ratio u/V . Introducing o a new co-efficient 'b' (Allen, 1968b) which is

b = V /0.03nu (24) o it is found that b has a very small variation (Table 3) and

can be approximately taken to be constant in value. So

the deposition rate on the slipface region can be recast

(Allen, 1968b) as Vo/0.03bu (25)

where the subscript L refers to some reference point.

Equation (25) is of the same form as the suspended load

concentration profile. So it seems that there is some

physical similarity between vertical diffusion of sediment

in open channel flow and horizontal diffusion and convection

of sediment on the leeside of a dune. However, such physi­

cal similarity does not suggest that the processes operating

are the same in the two cases.

Mean Size and Grading of Settled Sand

The preceding analysis has shown that, under any given experimental condition, the settling rates of grains decrease away from the dune crest. However, for coarser stocks, the rate of decline is much more pronounced, especially 101

over the slipface region, with a strongly negative mean

size gradient over the slipface region and a gradual

flattening of the gradient over the bottomset zone. The mean size of the settled grains will, therefore, fall with

increasing distance from separation (Appendix 9). The plots (Figs. 28A-I) resemble those of W against log X, and a definite break in slope between the slipface and the bottomset zone can be recognized. Over the slipface region the variation of mean size with X can be approximated by a power function of the form

(26)

where a* and are two co-efficients. Appendix 10 lists the results of regression analysis on with X. The values of a* have a narrow range (Table 4) and increases

exponent nA generally increases with increase in u. How­

ever, the relationship of the co-efficient with the flow

in particular plays a great role in determining the absolute or relative profile, and cannot be ignored. Therefore, it

is not possible to evaluate the dependence of the co-effi­ cients a* and n# on these variables.

Comparison between Experimental and Calculated Results

Appendix 11 shows the calculated values using the numerical analysis program outlined earlier. The mean size gradient obtained numerically shows a very gentle decrease downstream in all the calculations. The absolute size values significantly differ from those of the experi­ ments in the case of the coarse stock of sand 2 . The deposition rate profiles are similar in form but differ in absolute values from those obtained experimentally.

Although neither calculated nor experimental results give 110

impossible values, several factors have produced the observed

differences between the two curves. Considering the size

gradient first, in the numerical analysis it is assumed

that the sediment placed in the flume and that which is

transported by the flow is identical in size characteristics.

Experimentally, however, when sediment was introduced into

the flume, the finer fractions were entrained first from

the sediment feeder and filled the sediment collectors.

Therefore, the size characteristics of the transported

sand were quite different from that placed in the sediment

feeder. When a correction is introduced in the numerical

program to take this into account, the overall size that is

obtained numerically and that obtained experimentally be­

come nearly identical (Fig. 29). However, the form of the

size gradient profile still is not similar or identical.

Experimentally a major source of variation existed because the fixed bedform was always out of equilibrium with the flow and instead of a homogenous bed-load layer moving up the stoss-side and over the dune crest, the

sediment moved mainly as individual small-scale ripples which successively encountered the breakpoint and spilled onto the slipface. A major effect of this condition is

to increase the effective thickness of the bedload layer compared to that obtained numerically where the dune is I l l

Curve 3: size characteristics of the rippled

assumed to be in such equilibrium with the flow that no

other bedforms migrate on its stoss-side. However, an

attempt was made to include this condition into the

numerical program for experiment 17 from the empirical

relationships of bedform size and flow conditions (Yalin,

1972). This increased slightly the similarity between the

calculated and experimental profiles (Fig. 29). However,

the smaller bedforms in the experiments were themselves

size sorted with very coarse grained layers near the bottom.

When such size sorted smaller bedforms migrated past the

artificial dune crest, a strongly asymptotic size gradient was established on the dune slipface in the following way. Initially, when the upper layers of the small ripple were eroded at the dune crest, they supplied the dune lee with materials having size characteristics more or less

identical to the average bed material. However, at the

last stage, the very coarse basal layer of the ripple were eroded and diffused. These layers had lower starting heights which, along with the fact that they were diffused to shorter distance because of their larger mass and lower forward velocity, were deposited on the dune slipface with a very strong negative gradient. This mechanism apparently provided the strongly asymptotic negative 114 profile on the dune lee obtained experimentally. However, at the present state of our knowledge, there is no way to include and predict such size sorting changes in the smaller bedforms. In fact, it is one of the objectives of the present research. However, to test the validity of the explanation outlined above, the numerical program was modified for experiment 17 to take into account a very small arbitrary change in the mean size from 1 .8 to

1 .6 in the lower 0.3 cm of the smaller bedform. The size gradient curve obtained now shows a slight but defi­ nite steepening of the size profile (Fig. 29). The above discussion is also valid for the deposition rate gradient.

Additionally, however, one important source of variation should be mentioned in predicting the absolute values of the deposition rate. Equations used in the numerical cal­ culations are developed on the assumption that the potential transporting capacity of the flow is always satisfied. This means that the size classes in the sediment are infinitely available for transport, limited only by the sorting or the standard deviation of the size distribution function. There is no certainty that such a condition was fulfilled in the experiments. In fact, it is likely, in the light of the fractionation of the sediment as it came out of the sedi­ ment feeder, that the potential transporting capacity of 115

flow was never satisfied. The experiments have, therefore, produced deposition rates which are in most cases substan­ tially lower than those predicted by the numerical calcu­ lations . SIZE DIFFERENTIATION IN AVALANCHED SEDIMENT

Theory

In the previous discussion, it has been shown that

deposition rate and mean size of sediment accumulating

on a dune slipface decrease downstream from its crest

according to an approximate power function. The effect

of continued deposition on the slipface is to steepen

progressively its slope until a critical value, called

the angle of initial yield (

is dependent on mean particle size and on the concentration

of sediment accumulating on the slipface. An avalanche

then begins near the brinkpoint and moves down the slip­

face. After avalanching the slope has a lower angle,

known as the residual angle after shear ( ), which is

very nearly constant for a given sediment.

One major effect of avalanching is to change the

size gradient on the leeslope established by grain sett­

ling. Bagnold (1954a, 1954b, 1956, and 1966) studied the

role of grain to grain stresses within flows of granular particles. He suggested that the grains within such flows

interact in two ways: inertial and viscous. In the

inertial case, when grain collisions predominate, an

intergranular dispersive pressure, P, exists which was

116 117

determined to be

(27) where = proportionality factor,

* = linear grain concentration at point y in the

flow

oc = dynamic internal angle of friction, and

du = strain gradient in the flow, dy

The velocity gradient in the avalanche was first given by

Bagnold (1954a) as

(28) l where c = grain concentration by volume above point y in the flow. From equations (27) and (28) it can be seen that the grain diameter is inversely proportional to the stress as given by the velocity gradient. Thus, the site of maxi­ mum shear should also be the plane on which the smaller particles tend to accumulate whereas the largest particles should tend to migrate to the zone of least shear at the free surface (Bagnold, 1954a). Bagnold (1954b) was able to demonstrate this by ingenious experiments using air and sand in which each grade had been dyed a distinctive color. 118

He observed that the coarser grains rose to the top of

each avalanching mass while the finer particles settled

to the bottom surface on which shearing was taking place.

Several later workers have confirmed Bagnold1s finding by-

measurement in flume-deposited cross-stratified deposit

(Johansson, 1963, Allen, 1965, and Jopling, 1965a).

Lowe (1976) integrated the equation for uniform and

steady grain flow of inertial type and obtained the equa­

tion of the velocity profile as

rj _ 2 rcg (P - Pf ) cos B i ^ 1_ TY3/2- (Y-y)3/2] (29) (y) ” 3 1 p a. cosl J *D L s i r where c = mean grain concentration by volume above point

y in the flow,

Y = flow thickness measured normal to the bed,

B = bed slope, and

y = distance above bed measured normal to the bed

surface.

Equation (29) shows that grain velocity increases progres­

sively away from the static bed. According equations (27) and (28), grain size is increasing simultaneously in the same direction due to grain dispersive pressure. During avalanching of a population of mixed grains, the larger ones, concentrated near the top of the flow, will move at 119

a faster speed towards the toe of the slipface and accumu­

late there at a faster rate than the smaller grains. There­

fore, the initial negative grain size gradient resulting

from grain settling on the slipface should be changed to

a positive gradient as a result of avalanching if, during

avalanching, no additional grains settle on the leeslope.

In fact, this should occur only if the avalanche moves with

an infinitely large speed. However, equations (28) and (29)

show that avalanches have a finite speed. The real time of

descent of each avalanche, T, and the period between the

end of one avalanche and the initiation of the next ava­

lanche, P, are given by

L T and (30)

______(31) dw 1 cos 1 (41 + .) ~r ~ — ~ r x dx Y 2 where L = length of the slipface, and

W = deposition rate per unit width on the slipface.

The actual period between real avalanches is the sum of P

and T, and an additional time which arises as a result of grain settling on the avalanche face during the time period,

T (Allen, 1970).

Equation (31) shows that the period of avalanching is 120

inversely related to the deposition rate on the slipface.

The deposition rate in turn is directly proportional to the

fluid flow velocity and sediment transport rate. When the

avalanche period is great and flow speed low, the avalanches will be well defined and complete, and grain dispersive pres

sure will be most effective in bringing about a positive downslope size gradient. At such low fluid flow velocities the intensity of deposition from grain settling alone will be minimal. At high fluid flow velocities, however, ava­ lanche period will be short, and grain settling will be intense resulting in a negative size gradient. Thus, the flow speed and sediment transport rate ultimately control whether grain settling or avalanching will be more effective in determining the characteristic size gradient in the slip­ face deposit (Allen, 1968a).

Five cases may be predicted (Allen, 1968a);

1. When the grain transport rate and flow speed are low, the period of avalanching is large and sorting of grains by dispersive pressure is complete. At the same time, grain settling is low, and the effects of avalanching outweigh those of settling. A positive gradient of mean size is expected in the slipface deposits.

2. As the flow speed and transport rate are increased, the contribution of grain settling will also increase. At the 121

same time the period of avalanching will decrease. The

combined effect will still produce a positive size gradient

but it will be less pronounced than that in case 1 .

3. At still higher flow velocities differential settling

just balances the effects of sorting resulting from ava­

lanching. The slipface deposits should then be of sub­

stantially the same mean size from crest to toe.

4. Over a range of still higher flow speeds and transport

rates, when avalanching is continuous, one should expect

the gradient of mean size to be negative. Grain size

gradient imposed by settling will then have greater effect

than that by avalanching.

5. If the flow speed and transport rate are increased

sufficiently, settling will be so intense that avalanche will cease altogether, and slipface deposit will show the

steepest negative size gradient.

Back eddying in the separation bubble in high flow

speed produces regressive ripples which can be identified

and separated from the avalanched sediment.

In flows dominated by viscous stresses, the grains

interact without actually colliding (Bagnold, 1954a) and

the normal grain stress for * > 2.5 was empirically determined to be The viscous and inertial state of flow are distinguished by a ratio, the Bagnold Number, defined as

h 2 M _ V. P-S-D. du , . N = 5 — (33)

Fully viscous flow is characterized by N < 40 whereas inertial flow by N > 450. Equation (32) is independent of grain diameter, D, so that no viscous size sorting occurs. In the viscous state of flow, therefore, the negative size gradient will be formed under all flow conditions except at high flow rates. Three cases may be outlined.

1. At low flow speed and transport rate, the mean size will decrease down the slipface at a moderate gradient.

2. At a higher flow speed and transport rate, when avalan­ ching is more frequent, the gradient of mean size will flatten out.

3. At a still higher speed and transport rate, when avalan­ ching is continuous, the mean size is expected to decrease only slightly from crest to the toe of the slipface.

The two schemes of grain size variation in the slipface are summarized in Fig. 30. 123

Experiments

In order to verify the size gradient predicted for different flow conditions a second series of experiments was designed. The same flume facility as for the previous series of experiments was utilized.

Bed Modelling

A dune-like bedform with the same stoss side dimensions as for the previous experiments was constructed at the up­ stream side of the flume with the exception that a shorter crestal platform, 17.7 cm long, was modelled. Additionally the slipface in the present case was an aluminum sheet coated with sand of mean size 1.08. The slipface had a slope of about 32 degrees (Fig. 31).

The shape of the bedform modelled was in no way in­ tended to be representative of the bedform that may be found in equilibrium under flow conditions established during experimentation. In fact, our knowledge on the prediction of the bedform size is such that only empirical and semi-quantitative data are available, and there is no reliable function to relate the flow properties to the resultant bedform size. On the other hand, it was pre­ sumed that a dune-like bedform of higher order (higher length-height ratio) is one of the most common bed Fig. 31. Diagram of the dune-like bedform modelled on

features in an open channel flow on which smaller bedforms of appropriate size are superimposed. It is commonly the migration of smaller bedforms on the stoss-side and the diffusion of their sediment at the crest of larger dune-like features which produce large cross-stratification charac­ teristic of deposits of open channel flows (Allen, 1963).

After each experiment, it was observed that sediment introduced filled the space behind the steep break in slope on the upstream end of the artificial bedform, and an appro- dune structure with superimposed smaller bedforms had been established. This insured that the experiments were a modest scaled down reproduction of an actual system that may be operative in an open channel flow under flow condi­ tions similar to that of the experiments. The only res­ triction was that smaller bedforms always migrated on the back of the larger bedform.

Experimental Procedure

The actual completed experiment involved the following steps in which the first 6 steps are the same as those previously described in the first series of experiments:

7. After a thick deposit was formed on the slipface, water and sediment discharge was stopped at a point when there was little or no avalanching over most of the slipface. At the same time the tail gate was raised quickly so that there was no rapid draining of water into the reservoir tank.

8 . The flume bed was then drained very slowly both from upstream and downstream ends. Extra care was taken when water depth became shallow at the dune crest.

9. The stoss-side was mapped with the point gauge after which all stoss sediment was removed. The bed profile was then again measured by the point gauge.

10. The slipface deposit was allowed to drain and dry slightly for about twelve hours.

11. Sediment in the 10 cm zone on either side near the walls was removed exposing a side profile of the slipface deposit.

12. Sediment samples about 1 cm wide and 2 cm deep were taken in 4 cm long strips down the slipface at a number of places across the slipface. Samples were also taken from exposed surface of the slipface in 4 cm long strips suc­ cessively downslope from the crest.

13. Sediment was dried in the oven and sieved with a rotap at 0.25 intervals for 15 minutes.

14. Size statistics were calculated as described earlier. 130

Velocity Fields

The experiments now under discussion have at least

one serious limitation? the velocity fields were not

measured concurrently with the diffusion of the sediment.

The velocity fields, shown in Fig. 32 for the values of

u and d established in the experiments, were obtained in

the absence of a grain load. Although it is known that

the velocity field for a grainless fluid differs in detail

from that of a fluid carrying grains, the two fields can be

broadly similar.

The velocity fields are given in terms of the mean

horizontal component of u and were measured in the plane

of the symmetry of the flow. Upstream from the step,

velocity profiles are of the open channel type, and they

show a progressive reduction of gradient towards the free

surface. Downstream from the brinkpoint three zones could be identified to the reattachment point (Fig. 32).

1. A zone in which the velocity is downstream and is of

the open channel type.

2. A zone in which velocity values are negative.

3. An intermediate or mixing zone of large fluctuations

in velocity. This layer contains the isovel of zero

forward velocity.

Bed Stocks

Same bed stocks as in the earlier series of experi­ ments were used. However, the size characteristics of the transported sediment varied from experiment to experiment though the same bed stock was used for a set of experiments.

This was particularly noticable in the case of experiments with sand 2. Although the mean size of the bed stock was

1.078 , that of the transported sand varied from 0.958$ in the case of experiments with the highest discharge of water to 1.11$ for that of the lowest (Fig. 33). This reflected the permanent deposition of coarser size fractions at the low discharge. In experiment 2, with the highest discharge, sediment coarser than 0.25$ made up 7.17% of the transported sediment, but in experiment 5, with the lowest discharge, such coarser material made up only 3.18% of the load. This trend persisted in all of the coarser fractions. This hydraulic segregation introduced a com­ plication into the analysis of the grain size gradient in the slipface deposits because the grain size of the trans­ ported sediment was assumed to be constant in developing the schematic model of Fig. 30. On the other hand, this 134

sediment of experiment 2 and experiment 5.

Although the same bed stock, sand 2, was used

in the experiments, size characteristics of

the transported sand was different for the two

flow conditions. Mean flow velocity was higher

in experiment 2. For details of the flow

conditions see Table 5. 1 3 5

situation duplicates many natural systems where a drainage

basin has a stock of material of a certain mean size, but

releases sediment of a different mean size appropriate to

the steady state hydrologic regime established over certain

intervals of time.

Entrainment and Transport

Table 5 lists the flow and sediment properties, either

measured or calculated from the measurements. In the exper­

iments with sand 2, 3, and 4, when sediment was introduced

into the flow, the finer sediment was entrained first from

the sediment feeder, moved as isolated ripples up the stoss-

side of the artificial dune, and avalanched down the slip-

face reducing the artificial slope of 32 degrees by 5 to 8

degrees. The main sediment front moved behind these

isolated ripples at a slower speed. As the stoss-side of

the dune became covered with sediment, it was characteris­

tically covered also by small-scale bedforms, mostly

ripples of various types and dimensions. Two to three

successive ripples from this main sediment front were

allowed to migrate past the brinkpoint of the artificial dune and form two or three corresponding sedimentation units on the dune slipface. Each of these units consisted of a basal zone of relatively fine-grained material and a Table 5. Flow conditions for experiments 2 to 16.

topmost very coarse layer one to two grain diameter in thickness. A single sedimentation unit was made up of several thin avalanche sheets. The flow attachment zone was wide, about 1.5 m, and there was appreciable back- eddying in the separation bubble in experiments with high discharge to produce low amplitude regressive ripples.

These ripples never climbed up the slipface, however, but formed a thin, 2 to 5 mm high fine-grained pavement on which the slipface deposit prograded. Downstream from the reattachment, zone, small-scale ripples of different types and dimensions developed. The distribution of these bed- forms depended on the flow strength and the size of the sediment used. Appendix 12 summarizes the bedform charac­ teristics as observed in different parts of the dune during an experiment. In experiments using sand 1 (pebble-sized particles), characteristic bedform on the stoss-side of the dune was always plane bed. The pebbles were trans­ ported mainly by rolling and skipping. There was no re­ gressive ripple zone, neither were there any bottomset beds.

Mean Size and Downslope Grading

Experiments with sand 2

The sequence of experiments 2, 6 , 3, 7, 4, and 5 in 139

Table 5 represents decreasing order of water discharge with

very little variation in the mean water depth. The flow

Reynolds Number and Froude Number systematically decreased.

Shear stress velocity, slope of the energy gradient, and boundary shear stress also decreased. Consequently, the

sand transport rate was highest in experiment 2 , where appre­

ciable sediment was moved in suspension, and declined

through the experiments to number 5, in which the sand was transported mainly as bedload with very little, if

any, material in suspension.

The variation in mean size of the slipface deposits with increasing distance from the dune crest followed a definite pattern as the flow speed and transport rate were decreased (Appendix 13). In the highest transport rate and

flow speed (experiment 2 ), the mean size decreased from the crest to a position of about 16 cm downslope, but near the toe of the slipface there was a strong positive gradient in the mean size (Fig. 34). When the flow speed and transport rate were reduced slightly (experiment 6 ), the negative size gradient in the upper 16 cm of the slipface was modified to practically no change in mean grain size. However, for the lower 8 cm of the slipface, the positive size gradient be­ came slightly steeper (Fig. 34). At a still lower flow speed and transport rate (experiment 3), the upper 12 cm 140

The gradient became steeper from 12 to 16 cm down the slipface, and was the steepest in the lower 8 cm of the slipface. When the flow speed and transport were further reduced in experiment 7, the negative or very gently sloping mean size gradient in the upper two-third of the slipface obtained in experiments with high flow speed was no longer present. The whole size profile in­ stead could be approximated by a progressively downsiope steepening positive gradient (Fig. 35). With further de­ crease of flow speed and transport rate (experiment 4), the downslope grain size variation of the slipface followed a steep positive linear relationship (Fig. 36). In experi­ ments with the lowest flow speed and transport rate (experi­ ment 5), the grain size gradient was totally different from that of the earlier experiments with relatively high dis­ charge. Mean size gradient was positive and very gentle up to 20 cm down the slipface, but the grain size gradient was the steepest near the toe (Fig. 37).

In the theoretical discussion, it was concluded that, at a very high flow speed and transport rate, the grain size gradient on the slipface will be negative. This stage was never realized in the experiments undertaken. Under the highest flow speed obtained (experiment 2), the Froude 143

Number was 0.836. When attempts were made to obtain a

still higher flow speeds by adjusting any or all of the

flow variables, such as Q, d, and S ff the flow became supercritical and a hydraulic jump occurred immediately downstream of the slipface. As this condition was supposed to be unnatural in the system under investigation, no experiments were conducted under supercritical conditions.

In the sequence of experiments 2, 6 , 3, 7, and 4, the change in the grain size gradient from experiment to experiment was confined largely to the upper part of the slipface deposit.

At the lowest flow speed and transport rate, experiment 4, the frequency of avalanching was low, little sediment settled on the slipface, and a steep linear positive gradient was obtained as predicted theoretically. As the flow speed was increased, avalanching continued to produce a steep positive gradient near the toe of the slipface, but the gradient decreased with the increase in flow speed.

However, grains settled on the upper part of the slipface more rapidly than avalanching could remove and sort them.

The result was a progressive flattening of the positive size gradient in the upper part of the slipface deposit until, at the highest flow speed and transport rate, the grain size gradient became negative as predicted theoretic­ ally. At the lowest flow speed, experiment 5, although the 150 same bed stock was used, the mean size of the transported sand was much finer, the coarse tail reduced (S^ changed from -0.195 to -0.136) and the sorting improved because of low velocity. These changes in grain size characteris­ tics of the transported sand makes comparison of grain size gradient obtained in experiment 5 with those in other ex­ periments difficult. As predicted theoretically, the positive grain size gradient was the steepest in this experiment, but it was confined only to the lower part of the slipface deposit.

The implications of these results are important.

Sequences of large scale cross-stratification are common in many stratigraphic sections. Two general conclusions about the flow strength can be made immediately from such sequences. First, the sediment must have been transported so that the critical shear stress necessary to erode the sediment was exceeded for the grain sizes present. It can also be safely assumed that the flow was in the ripple/dune field and as such it was subcritical (Froude Number less than 1). However, this range is quite wide and it does not help to discriminate between flow conditions in successive cross-stratified units which have essentially the same size characteristics but which may have been deposited under different flow conditions. Therefore, in a cross-stratified 151

sequence where mean size characteristics do not change appreciably, the size gradient in the slipface deposit may help discriminate beds laid down under different flow and transport rates.

Experiments with sand 3

In the experiments 10, 9, and 11, water discharge de­ creased systematically, and sediment transport rate also decreased (Table 5). In experiment 10, the transport rate and discharge of water were high, and the grain settling was intense. Avalanching, although frequent, was not effective in sorting the sediment. The result was a low positive gradient with a slight increase in the grain size only at the toe of the slipface (Appendix 14, Fig. 38).

When flow speed and transport rate were reduced in experi­ ment 9, avalanching was slightly more effective in sorting the sediment, and produced a rather steep positive gradient near the toe of the slipface. However, grain settling was high in the upper slipface and reduced the steep gradient produced by the avalanching. In experiment 11, where flow speed and sand transport rate were minimal, avalanching was less frequent but complete, and grain settling from suspen­ sion was appreciable. As a result, a very steep positive gradient in mean size was present near the toe of the 152

slipface, whereas a gentle positive gradient was established

in the upper 5/6 of the slipface.

In the theoretical prediction for the grain size gra­ dient, predictions were made that in fully viscous region of avalanche flow, a negative size gradient will be formed under all flow conditions which will become progressively flatter with increasing flow speed. At a very high flow speed the gradient will be almost horizontal. In experi­ ments with sand 3, less than 1% of the sediment was above

0.25 in diameter, and more than 50% was below 2.25 .

Since it is expected (Bagnold, 1954a, p. 62; Allen, 1968a) that grains having diameter less than 0.2 mm will behave viscously during tangential shearing, a large number of grains in sand 3 probably behaved viscously during avalan­ ching. A fully viscous flow was, however, never realized in the experiments. Also, the sediment was well sorted and relatively few size classes were available to produce a marked difference in mean size between the upper and lower parts of the slipface. Finally, the bed stock always produced appreciable suspension in all the three experi­ ments and grain settling from sediment suspension was rather high even in experiments with low flow speed.

Therefore, the grain size gradient was low as in the viscous stage, but a positive gradient as in the inertial 155

stage was established as opposed to a negative gradient

of the viscous stage.

Experiments with sand 4

In experiments with sand 4 , the sediment used was very well sorted and was intermediate in mean size between sand 2 and sand 3. Appreciable suspension was produced in the two experiments with high discharge (experiments 14 and

15). A thin basal layer of concentrated grains (heavy fluid layer of Jopling, 1965a) was found to extend down­ stream from the brinkpoint and grain settling was high on the slipface from this layer. In the experiment at a low flow speed (experiment 16) there was very little sediment suspension and avalanches with a low frequency were ob­ served. From experiment 14 through 16, the flow speed and transport rate decreased. This was reflected in progressive­ ly greater positive size gradient in the lower part of the slipface deposit (Appendix 15, Fig. 39). The grain size gradient on the upper part of the slipface, however, showed a progressive change opposite to the change obtained in experiments with sand 2. In experiments with sand 2, the upper part of the slipface gradually changed from a gently negative to progressively higher positive gradient with decrease in the flow speed. In experiments with sand 4, 156

the flow speed was never high enough to produce a negative

size gradient, but the positive gradient in the upper part became flatter with decreasing flow speed. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the size characteristics of the two bed stocks. Sand 4 was well sorted sand and the mean size gradient of the grains settling during the period of avalanching changed within a very narrow limit.

At a lower flow speed with low frequency avalanches most of the coarser fractions had sufficient time to travel at the toe of the slipface giving an uniform grain size in the upper part of the slipface.

The above discussions suggest that sediment sorting and the percentage of the coarser fractions (skewness) are two of the important variables which have hitherto been neglected in studies of sediment transport. These factors are particularly important in comparing empirical results obtained with sediments having different size characteris­ tics . It is always the practice to include the mean size as the only sediment variable. This is undoubtedly the most important variable, but sorting and percentage of coarse fraction (skewness) play a significant role. In a series of experiments using the same sediment but with varying flow characteristics, any of the response elements, such $s the transport rate, show a consistent change in 159 value from experiment to experiment. However, when a diff­ erent sediment with different size characteristics is used, the change in value from one experiment to another under the same flow conditions cannot be explained fully. Sorting and skewness of the sediment introduce changes in detail which must be accommodated to explain the difference in values obtained in the two sediments under similar flow conditions.

Experiments with sand 1

Two experiments were made with this bed stock which was in the range of pebbles. The grain size gradient in the slipface deposits is, therefore, likely to be modified because the theoretical gradient was developed for sand- sized particles. The primary objective of the experiments was to verify that a prediction can also be made in the case of very coarse grains similar to that made for sand-sized particles where transport rate was low and no suspended sediment was present even in very high flow speed.

In both the experiments deposition on the slipface was very low and there was no well defined avalanching. When a number of grains accumulated on the upper part of the slipface, the reduction in the slipface gradient was brought about by sliding down of a number of grains down the slip­ face. They sometimes reached the toe of the slipface, in 160 other cases they stopped sliding in the middle of the slip­ face. In the next phase of sliding from the upper part of the slipface, the grains that were held temporarily in the middle of the slipface were entrained and reached the toe of the slipface.

Since there was no grain settling from sediment suspen­ sion and since the transport rate was very low, there was no imposition of a negative size gradient under any flow conditions. At the same time, avalanching was always com­ plete . A positive size gradient on the slipface deposit was, therefore, expected. A reduction of gradient with increase in flow speed was also expected.

In experiment 12, where the flow speed was slightly lower than that in experiment 13, the mean size in the slipface deposit had an uniform positive gradient. In experiment 13, the flow speed and the sediment transport rate were slightly higher? the fit to a straight line to the data points was less satisfactory, but still acceptable; and there was a slightly lower positive size gradient (Fig.

40). There was, therefore, satisfactory correlation between the predictions made and experimental results about the size gradient in the slipface deposit with a very coarse sediment. 161

Mean Size and Grading Transverse to Slipface Stratification

In the present experiments, the diffusion of sediment on the leeside of the dune-like bedform resulted from the migration of ripples past the dune brinkpoint. The ripples were themselves made up of small slipface deposit with con­ centration of larger particles at their toes. In a cross- section, the cross-stratification was clearly seen, but the grain size profile showed that a single ripple was made up of a floor of coarse grains which was succeeded by finer and finer 'layers' towards the top. When such a ripple reached the brinkpoint of the larger dune the initial sediment that built up the initial layers of the cross­ stratum came by erosion from the stoss-side of the ripple.

The sediment thus supplied had about the same average size characteristics as that of the bed material. Gradually, as the top of the ripple is eroded, more of the lower layers of the ripple started supplying sediment to the dune slipface.

The succeeding layers in the cross-stratum, therefore, be­ came coarse. At the last stages of a ripple migration past the brinkpoint of the dune, the floor of coarse material of the ripple base moved down the slipface.

The sediment deposited on the leeside of the dune formed a cross-stratified unit or set as "a group of essentially conformable cross-strata" (McKee and Weir, 1953). Each 164 member of the group, forming a cross-stratum, was a single layer made up of a series of grain flow deposits. There is considerable controversy on the interpretation of 1 sedimen­ tation unit'. It was first defined by Otto (1938) as that part of a deposit that was laid down under essentially constant physical conditions. In the present experiments, a sedimentation unit in the cross-stratified set was iden­ tified by the laminae deposited by the complete migration and diffusion of the sediment of a ripple beyond the crest of the artificial dune-like bedform. Each sedimentation unit was, therefore, expected to be size differentiated transverse to the slipface stratification with relatively coarse layers near its top.

Several samples from some of the experiments were taken to confirm the “transverse' sorting of sediment in a cross-stratum. The results of mechanical analysis are shown in Appendix 17.

In each cross-stratum sampled, there was a progressive coarsening of the grain size transversely whether sampling was done at its upper, middle, or lower portion. The con­ trast was smaller in the upper and middle parts of the slipface than in the lower part. For example, in experi­ ments 4 to 7, where similar sediment was used (sand 2), the difference in mean size (M ) between the top and bottom CJ 165 layers in the upper and middle portions of the slipface was less than 0.25. However, towards the toe of the slipface the difference increased to more than 0.25. The contrast was also smaller when sand with a narrow spectrum of grain size was used, as in experiments 11 and 15 (0.035 to

0.199$ ) .

This transverse size differentiation in individual cross-strata provides a mechanism by which we can explain rhythmic layerings in large cross-strata which are charac­ teristic of deposits formed in open channel flows. Many of these large cross-strata are known to be associated with

•bar-like' bedforms with a large wave length-height ratio, gently sloping stoss-side with superimposed ripples and a well defined slipface. When such a ripple migrates past the brinkpoint of the larger dune bedform, a cross-stratum is laid down on the slipface of the dune. The cross-stratum is size differentiated transverse to its stratification plane with coarser layers near its top. Through time, when several ripples migrate past the dune brink, a set of cross-stratum is deposited. Each member of the group is size sorted across the stratification plane and together they produce rhythmic layerings in the cross-set. CONCLUSIONS

1. Analysis of theoretical and empirical studies of flow structure, sediment transport at the crest of a dune, and subsequent sediment diffusion beyond the dune crest shows that it is possible to develop a numerical model which can simulate the grain size and deposition rate gradients of sediment deposited on leeside of a dune.

2. Results of numerical experiments have shown that, apart from the flow variables, the size characteristics of the bed material, especially its sorting, are important varia­ bles which control both mean size and deposition rate gradients on the dune lee.

3. Flume experiments with a fixed dune bed and a sediment collector, however, yield size gradient curves which are not of the same form as those reproduced numerically with the same flow and sediment characteristics. Discrepancies are explained by the movement of sediment up the dune stoss- side not as a homogeneous bedload layer but as discrete smaller bedforms with strongly size differentiated profiles.

4. Deposition rate gradients reproduced numerically have the same plotted form as those obtained through the flume experiments. However, the absolute rates in flume experi­ ments are lower than those predicted by numerical

166 167

calculations. This is because the potential transporting capacity of the flow could not physically be satisfied in flume experiments.

5. A schematic model of the texture of avalanched sediment on the dune slipface deposit has been developed in which the mean size gradient can be related to the mean size of the diffused sediment, nature of grain interactions during avalanching, flow speed, and sediment transport rate.

6 . A second series of flume experiments with a fixed dune bed generally supports the schematic model. Therefore, it is possible to discriminate between paleo-flow conditions in successive cross-stratified units which have essentially the same gross size characteristics but which may have been deposited under differing flow conditions. Again, sorting of the bed material was found to be an important variable in controlling the absolute grain size gradient.

In summary, sorting of the bed material has a first order significance in controlling transport, deposition rate, and mean size gradient of sediment deposited before and after avalanching on the dune lee. Because such trans­ port and deposition rates are intimately associated with the flow characteristics of open channel flows, it is essential that we no longer ignore sorting of bed material 168 as one of the variables influencing fluvial transport and deposition rates.

Although the numerical model has been developed for a dune bed only, it has a broader application. Deposition in a reservoir fed by a stream constructing a simple

Gilbert-type delta and without underflow can be simulated by the present program. Such simulation will predict the deposition rate gradient in the reservoir from the debouch­ ing point of the stream into the reservoir, and hence its silting rate. REFERENCES
