Objectives of the Course
Rivers carry sediment grains from which they remove from the bed or from the basin. fluid two-phase flow of solid particles with water, they move together and determining the amount of sediment transported and analyzed in terms of engineering. Having enough knowledge about flow and sediment transport in streams to find successful solutions to the engineering problems related to regulation of rivers, various uses and water intake from rivers.ion

Course Contents
Sediment grains have properties such as grain size, shape, density, porosity and sedimentation rate, and features such as granulometry, density and internal friction angle of a sediment mixture.When water is taken from a stream for any purpose, the problem is also taken into account for the entry of solid matter, preventing the entry of swab material and controlling the entrance of the suspension material.
