Abstract

Environmental quality and health safety assessment often require prediction of solute transport in rivers. The process of moving suspended sediment in rivers acts like contamination. In this study, the transient storage model (TSM) was used to simulate the contamination transport in dense flow conditions (with suspended sediments). OTIS-P numerical model and Temporal Moment analysis (TM) were used to solve the transient storage model (TSM) and the breakthrough curves (BTCs) were simulated. Grain material with an average diameter (D50) of 11.85 mm and the porosity (n) of 0.28 were used to create a sedimentary bed. Experiments of tracer material (NaCl) were performed in a flume with a length of 12 m, a width of 0.5 m and a height of 0.7 m applying three different flow discharges (10, 12.5 and 15 l/s). In order to create dense flow conditions, suspended sediments with initial concentrations of 187500 ppm (SC1) and 375000 ppm (SC2) were injected. Experimental results showed that the existence of suspended sediment in the stream (dense flow conditions) increased the medium residence time (MRT) of contamination in the main stream. The results of numerical solution showed that storage zone exchange coefficient (α) in dense flow conditions was 1 to 3.2 times the storage zone exchange coefficient (α) compared to clear flow conditions. The results of numerical solution showed that the longitudinal dispersion coefficient (Dx) in dense flow conditions was 2 to 7 times the longitudinal dispersion coefficient (Dx) compared to clear flow conditions. The BTCs simulated by the OTIS-P numerical model and the temporal moment analysis (TM) were highly agreement with the laboratory BTCs with the Nash-Sutcliffe index between 0.89 to 0.97 and 0.89 to 0.95.In natural rivers with high concentrations of suspended sediment, Hyporheic exchanges have an important role in the transport of contamination. Therefore, the use the transient storage model (TSM) is recommended instead of the analytical solution of the advection-dispersion equation (ADE).
