Geomorphology and Sediment Transport in Channel Design
(Part II)

The course involves formal lectures, computer-based
exercises, and
field excursions. The course emphasizes instruction in
the conceptual
foundation and principles as well as use of computer
tools in restoration design. The focus of Part II is
on hydraulics, sediment transport, and channel design.
The 4 days are spent in lecture, computer exercises in
HECRAS 1-d flow modeling and their application to
channel design. We also consider when to design a
channel based on threshold channel assumptions and
when to consider sediment mass conservation in design.
Students work on a design that is applied to the Provo
River Restoration Project. We'll also go to the field
and look at some of the relevant restoration projects.
