Two-Dimensional Simulation of Flow Hydraulics and Bed-Load Transport in a Mountain Gravel-Bed Stream: the Upper Spanish Creek

Title
Two-Dimensional Simulation of Flow Hydraulics and Bed-Load Transport in a Mountain Gravel-Bed Stream: the Upper Spanish Creek
Abstract
Sediment transport in a gravel-bed mountain stream, the Upper Spanish Creek, California, was simulated with a depth-averaged, two-dimensional hydrodynamic and sediment transport model.
Purpose
The verified model was applied to predict bed-load transport in the Upper Spanish Creek to identify areas of high-erosive potential that require bank protections. Results of this verification process demonstrated the applicability of the two-dimensional hydrodynamic and sediment transport model to assist river restoration designs for gravel-bed streams.
