St. Venant-Exner Equations for Near-Critical and Transcritical Flows

The solution of the St. Venant-Exner equations as a model for bed evolution is studied under conditions when the Froude number, F, approaches unity, and the quasi-steady model becomes singular. It is confirmed that the strict criterion for critical flow, the vanishing of a water surface disturbance...

Zusammenfassung:The solution of the St. Venant-Exner equations as a model for bed evolution is studied under conditions when the Froude number, F, approaches unity, and the quasi-steady model becomes singular. It is confirmed that the strict criterion for critical flow, the vanishing of a water surface disturbance celerity, is not met, yet the direction of propagation of a bed wave apparently changes depending on whether F>1 or F
