2D finite element modeling
of bed elevation change
in a curved channel

Seoul, KOREA
Introduction
• Most natural streams are sinuous and meandering.
• In a curved channel, the centrifugal force makes the flow
structure and sediment transport mechanism extremely
complicated.
• To simulate the flow and morphological change in a curved
channel, the secondary currents and the gravity effect due to
morphological change should be properly considered
(Kassem & Chaudhry, 2002).

Why 2D Model?
• 1D Model
– Impossible to account for sediment transport in the transverse
direction
• 3D Model
– Still Expensive
– Not readily applicable to many engineering problems
• Turbulence Closure
• Sediment Transport Model
• Boundary Conditions

Previous Study
• Only applicable to the steady flow condition, constant
channel width and constant radius curvature
– Koch & Flokstra (1981), Struiksma et al. (1985), Shimizu & Itakura
(1989), Yen & Ho (1990) and so on.
• The coordinate transformed, unsteady FDM & FVM
– Kassem & Chaudhry (2002), Duc et al. (2004), Wu (2004)
• The finite element model for bed elevation change in a
curved channel has never been proposed!!
– FEM provides greater flexibility in handling spatial domain.

Purpose
• To Develop a 2D FEM model
– capable of predicting time-dependent morphological change in a
curved channel.
• For flow analysis, the shallow water equations are
solved by the SU/PG scheme.
• To assess the be elevation change, Exner’s equation is
solved by BG scheme.
• For validation, we applied the model to two laboratory
experiments.

Limitations
• Decoupled modeling approach
• Flow equations and Exner’s equations are solved separately.
• Uniform sediment
• Neglecting armoring or grain sorting effects.

Flow Characteristics of a Curved Channel
(a) Under a flat (& fixed) bed condition
- The centrifugal force makes higher flow depth, but lower mean velocity, at
the outer bank. This generates the secondary flows satisfying the continuity.
- Observed in Experiments and Numerical simulations.
(b) Under a mobile bed condition
- Secondary flows induces sediment erosion & deposition at the outer & inner
banks, respectively.
- The flow depth and mean velocity at the inner bank is lower.
- Observed in natural meandering rivers and Experiment by Yen (1967 & 70)

• At the initial stage, the particles are heading for the inner bank. This induces sediment
deposition & erosion at the inner and outer banks.
• After for a while, the gravity effect due to changed bed reduces the secondary flow effect.

• At the initial stage, the flow depth near the outer bank is higher than that near inner bank.
• A similar pattern at 150 min. But, considering deposition & erosion, the water surface
elevation across the width is nearly uniform.

Conclusions
• Development of 2D FEM model for bed elevation change

– BG method for Exner’s eq.
– Secondary flow effect and gravity effect on sloping bed
• Applications to 2 curved channel experiments
– The model predicts the flow and bed morphology well.
• Specially, the time-evolution of changing bed morphology from the flat bed.
• Sediment deposition & erosion at the inner & outer banks.
• Necessity of introducing the upwind scheme to Exner’s eq.
– Spatial fluctuations in the simulated bed profiles increase with time.
– Weighting is required in the upwind direction along the trajectory of
sediment particles.
