Abstract
Knowledge on the erosion behavior of fine sediments with cohesive-adhesive properties are important for many hydraulic and ecologic issues.
Despite this relevance, no generally accepted, analytical theory is available that describes the erosion behavior of fine sediments with cohesive-adhesive properties. The reason for this is, that various physical, chemical and biological parameters are involved leading to complex interactions between the sediment.
With novel experimental methods, the erosion behavior of fine sediments with cohesive-adhesive properties are measured with high spatio-temporal resolution. In doing so, three different types of reservoir sediments are going to be investigated (www.charm-bw.de). Based on the measured set of data, functional interrelationships are going to be investigated in cooperation with colleagues from IWS.
The gained insights will help to improve morphological models and the understanding of the erosion behavior of fine sediments with cohesive-adhesive properties. Finally, simulations on morphodynamic changes in the reservoirs will be conducted.
