00:00:16.328 --> 00:00:18.620 align:middle line:84%
JOHN SOUTHARD: So let's start
with unidirectional flow.

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:20.660 align:middle line:84%
Oh, here, I should tell
you my plan of action--

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:22.180 align:middle line:90%
my tentative plan of action.

00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:25.760 align:middle line:84%
We have four hours for
three to four classes.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.340 align:middle line:84%
And I've made up
four PowerPoints.

00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:31.040 align:middle line:84%
I'm not quite finished with the
fourth, but it'll come along.

00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:34.880 align:middle line:84%
And so the first one
is on fluid dynamics

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.640 align:middle line:84%
that are relevant to
sediment transport.

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.040 align:middle line:84%
And then there's one
on sediment transport,

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.880 align:middle line:84%
one on bedforms and
bed configurations,

00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.920 align:middle line:84%
and finally one on sedimentary
structures created by flows.

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.080 align:middle line:84%
And I'm hoping to
get one and maybe

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:56.700 align:middle line:84%
most of two today done, because
the third and fourth are heavy.

00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:59.250 align:middle line:84%
They're long and heavy and I
think we need more than just

00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:00.190 align:middle line:90%
one hour to do them.

00:01:00.190 --> 00:01:02.010 align:middle line:90%
So that's my point.

00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:03.970 align:middle line:84%
It's been so long since
I've given classes

00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:07.970 align:middle line:84%
that I can't really figure out
how long a presentation is going

00:01:07.970 --> 00:01:10.530 align:middle line:84%
to take me because I might
go off on tangents and things

00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:11.490 align:middle line:90%
like that.

00:01:11.490 --> 00:01:12.490 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:01:12.490 --> 00:01:16.250 align:middle line:84%
Osborne Reynolds, famous
name in fluid dynamics.

00:01:16.250 --> 00:01:21.210 align:middle line:84%
And I mention him because he did
a classic experiment way back

00:01:21.210 --> 00:01:26.050 align:middle line:84%
in the late 1800s-- a tank
with a tube coming out of it

00:01:26.050 --> 00:01:30.250 align:middle line:84%
and a valve at the bottom
so that he could make a flow

00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:31.570 align:middle line:90%
in the tube.

00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:33.870 align:middle line:84%
And he had a little dye
injection system as well,

00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:39.570 align:middle line:84%
because he wanted to see what
happened to the dye in the flow.

00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:42.730 align:middle line:84%
These are directly
from his sketches.

00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:49.890 align:middle line:84%
So A, at low flows, the
dye streams along the tube

00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:51.510 align:middle line:84%
without anything
happening to it.

00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:52.850 align:middle line:90%
Well-- come on in--

00:01:52.850 --> 00:01:57.570 align:middle line:84%
it might expand very slowly,
but nothing much happens to it.

00:01:57.570 --> 00:02:00.530 align:middle line:84%
But when you increase
the velocity,

00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:04.370 align:middle line:84%
the dye wavers and then
breaks into turbulence.

00:02:04.370 --> 00:02:07.810 align:middle line:84%
And to visualize the
turbulence, this is a sketch.

00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:10.690 align:middle line:84%
He shows all these fluid
eddies moving along.

00:02:10.690 --> 00:02:14.890 align:middle line:84%
And this is a
classic experiment.

00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:18.350 align:middle line:84%
So I think this is a pretty
good definition of turbulence.

00:02:18.350 --> 00:02:21.723 align:middle line:90%


00:02:21.723 --> 00:02:23.390 align:middle line:84%
And a little bit more
about turbulence--

00:02:23.390 --> 00:02:26.690 align:middle line:84%
if you had a flow through
a duct or a channel

00:02:26.690 --> 00:02:30.450 align:middle line:84%
and you released little
tiny buoyant markers which

00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:32.170 align:middle line:84%
would float along--
neutrally buoyant

00:02:32.170 --> 00:02:35.050 align:middle line:84%
markers-- every one would take
a different path and a very

00:02:35.050 --> 00:02:35.950 align:middle line:90%
irregular path.

00:02:35.950 --> 00:02:37.850 align:middle line:84%
So that's one element
of turbulence.

00:02:37.850 --> 00:02:42.450 align:middle line:84%
Every motion downstream
is very irregular.

00:02:42.450 --> 00:02:44.170 align:middle line:84%
And if you had your
little magic velocity

00:02:44.170 --> 00:02:48.070 align:middle line:84%
meter to put in the flow and
you measured the time velocity,

00:02:48.070 --> 00:02:51.690 align:middle line:84%
instantaneous velocity, and
plotted it-- this is a bad plot.

00:02:51.690 --> 00:02:52.990 align:middle line:90%
I drew this cartoon.

00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:54.510 align:middle line:84%
They shouldn't be
leaning backward.

00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:55.990 align:middle line:90%
They should be pretty much even.

00:02:55.990 --> 00:02:57.460 align:middle line:90%
But anyway, you get the idea.

00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:00.460 align:middle line:84%
So the fluctuations in
velocity in a turbulent flow

00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:04.700 align:middle line:84%
would be something like 5%
to 10% of the mean flow.

00:03:04.700 --> 00:03:07.320 align:middle line:84%
So it's substantial,
but only a small part.

00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:10.452 align:middle line:90%


00:03:10.452 --> 00:03:11.660 align:middle line:90%
You could also-- if you had--

00:03:11.660 --> 00:03:12.720 align:middle line:90%
I love magic things.

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:16.280 align:middle line:84%
So if you had a magic powder and
you sprinkled it into the flow,

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.620 align:middle line:84%
you would see integrating
swirls of masses of fluid called

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:25.900 align:middle line:90%
eddies going down the flow.

00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:29.380 align:middle line:84%
If you've ever seen a river in
flood, a muddy river in flood,

00:03:29.380 --> 00:03:31.440 align:middle line:84%
and you look at
it, at the surface,

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:33.820 align:middle line:84%
you see all these
eddies at the surface.

00:03:33.820 --> 00:03:34.720 align:middle line:90%
It's very impressive.

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:36.240 align:middle line:90%
I love to see that sometimes.

00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.700 align:middle line:84%
But this is the kind of
thing you can visualize.

00:03:40.700 --> 00:03:45.300 align:middle line:84%
So this is my definition
of turbulent eddies.

00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:46.780 align:middle line:90%
Now, if you have a question--

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:49.700 align:middle line:84%
I didn't say, but if you
have a question or comment,

00:03:49.700 --> 00:03:50.860 align:middle line:90%
flag me down.

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:53.340 align:middle line:84%
I'm glad to stop and
deal with things.

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:54.750 align:middle line:90%
Keep that in mind.

00:03:54.750 --> 00:03:56.950 align:middle line:90%
I'd be glad to do that.

00:03:56.950 --> 00:04:01.290 align:middle line:84%
OK, so let's think about
this flow through a tube.

00:04:01.290 --> 00:04:02.830 align:middle line:84%
It's a good example
of what we have

00:04:02.830 --> 00:04:05.270 align:middle line:90%
to deal with in fluid flows.

00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:11.130 align:middle line:84%
So you need four variables
to account for this flow.

00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:13.810 align:middle line:84%
Obviously you need the flow
velocity in the tube diameter,

00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:16.230 align:middle line:84%
but also the fluid
properties, fluid density

00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:17.870 align:middle line:90%
and fluid viscosity.

00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.390 align:middle line:84%
Those are four variables
you need to deal with.

00:04:20.390 --> 00:04:25.070 align:middle line:90%


00:04:25.070 --> 00:04:31.630 align:middle line:84%
So if you tried to graph a
four-dimensional diagram, well,

00:04:31.630 --> 00:04:32.690 align:middle line:90%
that's impossible, right?

00:04:32.690 --> 00:04:34.110 align:middle line:90%
You can't possibly do that.

00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:37.510 align:middle line:84%
So you'd think that we're
stuck in dealing with this

00:04:37.510 --> 00:04:39.270 align:middle line:90%
and representing this.

00:04:39.270 --> 00:04:42.890 align:middle line:90%
But-- oh, this is an example.

00:04:42.890 --> 00:04:45.730 align:middle line:84%
This is just an example I
threw in of existence fields.

00:04:45.730 --> 00:04:48.010 align:middle line:84%
You probably in some
PCAM or thermo course,

00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:52.230 align:middle line:84%
you've had to deal with the
phase diagram for water, ice,

00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:54.030 align:middle line:90%
vapor, water.

00:04:54.030 --> 00:04:55.250 align:middle line:90%
And that's the kind of thing.

00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:59.830 align:middle line:84%
But you can't do that in
four dimensions very easily.

00:04:59.830 --> 00:05:03.270 align:middle line:84%
So there's a
technique in mechanics

00:05:03.270 --> 00:05:05.830 align:middle line:90%
called dimensional analysis.

00:05:05.830 --> 00:05:09.110 align:middle line:84%
And you can get really useful
information about something.

00:05:09.110 --> 00:05:11.750 align:middle line:84%
You don't have a solution,
but you have some idea

00:05:11.750 --> 00:05:13.090 align:middle line:90%
about the physical effects.

00:05:13.090 --> 00:05:14.170 align:middle line:90%
So here's what you do.

00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:16.710 align:middle line:90%


00:05:16.710 --> 00:05:18.523 align:middle line:84%
Buckingham's theorem--
Edgar Buckingham,

00:05:18.523 --> 00:05:19.690 align:middle line:90%
I don't know much about him.

00:05:19.690 --> 00:05:21.190 align:middle line:90%
He was an American physicist.

00:05:21.190 --> 00:05:23.030 align:middle line:84%
And he was one of
a few people who

00:05:23.030 --> 00:05:27.550 align:middle line:84%
developed this idea of
dimensional analysis.

00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:31.070 align:middle line:90%
You can look him up on YouTube--

00:05:31.070 --> 00:05:35.370 align:middle line:84%
you can google him and look
him up on the internet.

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:37.150 align:middle line:90%
So here's the theorem.

00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:41.890 align:middle line:84%
Now, I went through the proof
of this back maybe 60 years ago.

00:05:41.890 --> 00:05:43.470 align:middle line:84%
And it's not
difficult. But you're

00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:46.350 align:middle line:84%
going to have to take my
word for it that it works.

00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:48.030 align:middle line:84%
The number of
dimensionless variables

00:05:48.030 --> 00:05:51.202 align:middle line:84%
corresponding to the number
n of original variables

00:05:51.202 --> 00:05:52.660 align:middle line:84%
that describe the
physical problem,

00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:54.320 align:middle line:90%
it's equal to n minus m.

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:57.400 align:middle line:84%
n is the number and m is the
number of fundamental dimensions

00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:00.560 align:middle line:90%
mass, length, and time.

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.440 align:middle line:84%
This is a time-honored
and very useful

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:06.400 align:middle line:84%
thing to do in fluid
mechanics and other mechanics.

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:12.840 align:middle line:84%
So the way it comes out, rho
UD over mu-- density, velocity,

00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:16.840 align:middle line:90%
duct size, and viscosity.

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:21.320 align:middle line:84%
And it's called his number, in
his honor, or Reynolds number.

00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:22.445 align:middle line:90%
I say a Reynolds number.

00:06:22.445 --> 00:06:24.320 align:middle line:84%
There are other Reynolds
numbers coming along

00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:25.620 align:middle line:90%
of the same kind of thing.

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:28.720 align:middle line:90%


00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.400 align:middle line:84%
So we've collapsed four
dimensional variables

00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:33.160 align:middle line:84%
into just one
dimensional variable.

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.760 align:middle line:84%
All you need to specify to
describe the slope of the tube

00:06:36.760 --> 00:06:37.755 align:middle line:90%
is Reynolds number.

00:06:37.755 --> 00:06:39.380 align:middle line:84%
Nothing else, just
the Reynolds number.

00:06:39.380 --> 00:06:40.620 align:middle line:90%
It's a very powerful tool.

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:43.160 align:middle line:90%
And we're going to be using it.

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.960 align:middle line:84%
So let's look at
another problem which

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:49.450 align:middle line:84%
is relevant to sedimentary
geology, flow past a sphere.

00:06:49.450 --> 00:06:51.250 align:middle line:90%
What's the drag force?

00:06:51.250 --> 00:06:54.690 align:middle line:84%
What's the drag force when
it's moving in a viscous fluid?

00:06:54.690 --> 00:06:57.610 align:middle line:90%
Again, we have four variables.

00:06:57.610 --> 00:06:59.690 align:middle line:90%
The same ones-- rho UD over mu.

00:06:59.690 --> 00:07:01.930 align:middle line:84%
But U is now the
approaching flow.

00:07:01.930 --> 00:07:03.310 align:middle line:90%
D is the diameter of the sphere.

00:07:03.310 --> 00:07:06.030 align:middle line:84%
So the drag force is a function
of the Reynolds number--

00:07:06.030 --> 00:07:07.383 align:middle line:90%
another Reynolds number.

00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:08.550 align:middle line:90%
Does that make sense to you?

00:07:08.550 --> 00:07:11.650 align:middle line:90%


00:07:11.650 --> 00:07:14.770 align:middle line:84%
But it's not quite as
simple as it looks.

00:07:14.770 --> 00:07:16.560 align:middle line:90%
Why?

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.690 align:middle line:90%
Why is that not too simple?

00:07:18.690 --> 00:07:23.890 align:middle line:84%
Here you have a sphere held
there and a fluid flows by it.

00:07:23.890 --> 00:07:26.050 align:middle line:90%
And it's a drag force.

00:07:26.050 --> 00:07:30.770 align:middle line:84%
But there's another
way it could be done.

00:07:30.770 --> 00:07:35.577 align:middle line:84%
You could drop a sphere
into a body of still water.

00:07:35.577 --> 00:07:36.910 align:middle line:90%
And there's still a force on it.

00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:37.750 align:middle line:90%
It's a gravity force.

00:07:37.750 --> 00:07:39.333 align:middle line:84%
And it's moving
relative to the fluid.

00:07:39.333 --> 00:07:40.570 align:middle line:90%
But what's the difference?

00:07:40.570 --> 00:07:42.910 align:middle line:84%
Tell me the difference
between those two cases.

00:07:42.910 --> 00:07:46.290 align:middle line:90%


00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:47.730 align:middle line:90%
I'll give you a hint.

00:07:47.730 --> 00:07:48.910 align:middle line:90%
It's the T word.

00:07:48.910 --> 00:07:52.730 align:middle line:90%


00:07:52.730 --> 00:07:55.170 align:middle line:84%
In the case of holding
the sphere steady

00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:58.570 align:middle line:84%
and letting the flow by it, the
flow is likely to be turbulent.

00:07:58.570 --> 00:08:03.370 align:middle line:84%
And the sphere will have to
react to certain differences

00:08:03.370 --> 00:08:05.890 align:middle line:84%
in the speed of the flow
because of the turbulent eddies

00:08:05.890 --> 00:08:06.850 align:middle line:90%
going by.

00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:09.370 align:middle line:90%
Whereas if you drop the sphere--

00:08:09.370 --> 00:08:13.132 align:middle line:84%
a negatively buoyant sphere--
into a body of water,

00:08:13.132 --> 00:08:14.590 align:middle line:84%
there's no turbulence
in the water.

00:08:14.590 --> 00:08:15.410 align:middle line:90%
It's still.

00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:19.250 align:middle line:84%
And that makes a small but
non-negligible difference

00:08:19.250 --> 00:08:19.943 align:middle line:90%
in how it works.

00:08:19.943 --> 00:08:21.110 align:middle line:90%
Does that make sense to you?

00:08:21.110 --> 00:08:23.722 align:middle line:90%


00:08:23.722 --> 00:08:25.430 align:middle line:84%
Incidentally, we're
going to get to this.

00:08:25.430 --> 00:08:27.610 align:middle line:84%
I'll tell you more
about this later.

00:08:27.610 --> 00:08:29.730 align:middle line:84%
Now let's look at
open channel flows.

00:08:29.730 --> 00:08:31.155 align:middle line:84%
That's clearly an
important thing

00:08:31.155 --> 00:08:32.530 align:middle line:84%
to think about
when we're dealing

00:08:32.530 --> 00:08:35.830 align:middle line:84%
with the sediment transport,
by unidirectional flows.

00:08:35.830 --> 00:08:39.330 align:middle line:84%
And that's what
this hour is about.

00:08:39.330 --> 00:08:41.370 align:middle line:84%
Say you're standing out
there next to a river

00:08:41.370 --> 00:08:44.770 align:middle line:84%
and the sun is shining and
you try to look sideways

00:08:44.770 --> 00:08:47.940 align:middle line:90%
at the flow downstream.

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:50.900 align:middle line:90%
What is it like?

00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:52.940 align:middle line:84%
So I have to introduce
two things here.

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:54.960 align:middle line:84%
A steady flow--
this is definitions.

00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.220 align:middle line:84%
A steady flow means
no change with time.

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:04.620 align:middle line:84%
And a uniform flow means same at
all cross sections downstream.

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:05.120 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.400 align:middle line:90%
So here are the forces involved.

00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:10.120 align:middle line:90%
What pulls the flow down slope?

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.860 align:middle line:84%
Well, it's the
downslope component

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.620 align:middle line:90%
of the weight of the fluid.

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.312 align:middle line:84%
You all know about doing
vectors and figuring out

00:09:19.312 --> 00:09:20.520 align:middle line:90%
components of vectors, right?

00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:24.500 align:middle line:84%
But there has to be a resisting
force if it's a uniform flow.

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.400 align:middle line:84%
And that's the friction
force at the base.

00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:30.060 align:middle line:84%
So these two are balanced
when you have uniform flow.

00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:30.720 align:middle line:90%
Make sense?

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.900 align:middle line:90%


00:09:33.900 --> 00:09:35.278 align:middle line:90%
So what variables do we need?

00:09:35.278 --> 00:09:37.820 align:middle line:84%
Now we're going to do the same
thing in dimensional analysis.

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:39.112 align:middle line:90%
What are the variables we need?

00:09:39.112 --> 00:09:41.220 align:middle line:84%
Mean flow, velocity,
and depth, obviously.

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:42.740 align:middle line:90%
Density and viscosity.

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.350 align:middle line:90%
But there's one more--

00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:47.750 align:middle line:90%
the acceleration due to gravity.

00:09:47.750 --> 00:09:50.510 align:middle line:90%
And why is that important?

00:09:50.510 --> 00:09:53.330 align:middle line:84%
That's not an easy question,
but you need to think about it.

00:09:53.330 --> 00:09:54.688 align:middle line:90%
Why do you need gravity here?

00:09:54.688 --> 00:09:56.730 align:middle line:84%
You don't need it because
of the downslope force,

00:09:56.730 --> 00:10:02.950 align:middle line:84%
because that's all taken care
of by the weight of the fluid.

00:10:02.950 --> 00:10:05.030 align:middle line:90%
Surface waves.

00:10:05.030 --> 00:10:08.710 align:middle line:84%
Wind blows over the surface and
it can create surface waves.

00:10:08.710 --> 00:10:11.510 align:middle line:84%
So that's an additional
thing about the flow.

00:10:11.510 --> 00:10:14.830 align:middle line:84%
It turns out that waves develop
on the surface not because

00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:17.510 align:middle line:84%
of wind, but because
of an instability that

00:10:17.510 --> 00:10:21.162 align:middle line:90%
develops at high flow speeds.

00:10:21.162 --> 00:10:22.870 align:middle line:84%
And I'll say a little
bit more about that

00:10:22.870 --> 00:10:24.430 align:middle line:84%
because there are
things called antidunes.

00:10:24.430 --> 00:10:26.930 align:middle line:84%
You ever heard of-- how many
people have heard of antidunes?

00:10:26.930 --> 00:10:27.910 align:middle line:90%
All right, good.

00:10:27.910 --> 00:10:30.710 align:middle line:90%
Anyway.

00:10:30.710 --> 00:10:34.630 align:middle line:84%
Because those are waves
on the water surface

00:10:34.630 --> 00:10:36.930 align:middle line:84%
that can be stationary
or moving upstream,

00:10:36.930 --> 00:10:38.570 align:middle line:84%
and they affect the
sediment transport.

00:10:38.570 --> 00:10:39.630 align:middle line:90%
So we need five.

00:10:39.630 --> 00:10:41.750 align:middle line:84%
Well, that tells us by
dimensional analysis,

00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:46.710 align:middle line:84%
how many dimensionless
variables would we have?

00:10:46.710 --> 00:10:49.190 align:middle line:84%
We had four variables
in the previous

00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:51.350 align:middle line:84%
and we got one
dimensionless variable,

00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:54.070 align:middle line:84%
three less than the
number of variables.

00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:55.832 align:middle line:90%
So how many would we have here?

00:10:55.832 --> 00:10:56.790 align:middle line:90%
You'd have two of them.

00:10:56.790 --> 00:10:59.550 align:middle line:90%
Right, OK.

00:10:59.550 --> 00:11:01.950 align:middle line:84%
So we have another
Reynolds number,

00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:04.330 align:middle line:84%
this one would be based on
flow depth and flow velocity.

00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:06.780 align:middle line:84%
There are lots of
Reynolds numbers around.

00:11:06.780 --> 00:11:08.150 align:middle line:90%
It's based on depth.

00:11:08.150 --> 00:11:10.230 align:middle line:90%
But we need another one.

00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:12.110 align:middle line:90%
It's called the Froude number.

00:11:12.110 --> 00:11:15.870 align:middle line:84%
And it has g in it,
U squared over gd.

00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:17.910 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes people take
the square root of that

00:11:17.910 --> 00:11:19.243 align:middle line:90%
and call that the Froude number.

00:11:19.243 --> 00:11:23.630 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, because of certain
possible surface gravity waves.

00:11:23.630 --> 00:11:27.350 align:middle line:84%
Here he is, William Froude,
engineer, fluid dynamicist,

00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:28.210 align:middle line:90%
naval architect.

00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:29.910 align:middle line:90%
Did a lot of stuff.

00:11:29.910 --> 00:11:32.550 align:middle line:84%
And I've always wondered how
he pronounced his name "frood"

00:11:32.550 --> 00:11:33.490 align:middle line:90%
or "frowd".

00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:36.590 align:middle line:84%
And I finally recently
learned that it's "frood".

00:11:36.590 --> 00:11:39.030 align:middle line:90%
So it's the Froude number.

00:11:39.030 --> 00:11:41.120 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I've also
heard "froid" number.

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.162 align:middle line:90%
JOHN SOUTHARD: Say again.

00:11:42.162 --> 00:11:44.852 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I've also
heard "froid" number.

00:11:44.852 --> 00:11:46.560 align:middle line:84%
JOHN SOUTHARD: Freud
as in Sigmund Freud?

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:48.480 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Yes,
pronounced that way.

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:48.980 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:50.920 align:middle line:84%
JOHN SOUTHARD: They
probably mean this.

00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:52.940 align:middle line:84%
They almost certainly
mean the Froude number.

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:53.880 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: Yes.

00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:55.480 align:middle line:90%
JOHN SOUTHARD: Freud number.

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.860 align:middle line:84%
I hesitate to think about
what that would describe.

00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:01.840 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.440 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, so let's think about the
velocity structure of the flow.

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.640 align:middle line:84%
And we have our little
magic-- here's another magic--

00:12:09.640 --> 00:12:10.980 align:middle line:90%
I love magic things.

00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:12.600 align:middle line:84%
We have a little
current meter that we

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.420 align:middle line:84%
can place at various positions
above the base of the flow.

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:18.820 align:middle line:84%
And we measure the
time average velocity,

00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:21.520 align:middle line:84%
just time it for a minute or
two minutes or five minutes.

00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:23.280 align:middle line:90%
And you get a profile.

00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:26.000 align:middle line:84%
And let's talk
about the profile.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.880 align:middle line:84%
What's characteristic
about it is it's

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:33.560 align:middle line:84%
fairly evenly distributed in
the upper part of the flow.

00:12:33.560 --> 00:12:38.720 align:middle line:84%
But it rapidly goes
down to 0 at the bed.

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:43.520 align:middle line:84%
And we need to think
about why that is.

00:12:43.520 --> 00:12:46.480 align:middle line:84%
There's something called
the no-slip condition.

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.520 align:middle line:84%
The fluid at the boundary
has the same velocity

00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:50.800 align:middle line:90%
as the boundary.

00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:53.340 align:middle line:84%
It's not like tilting up the
table, putting a brick on it,

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:55.120 align:middle line:84%
and having the brick
slide down the table,

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:59.460 align:middle line:84%
because there's actual a jump
discontinuity in velocity.

00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:01.960 align:middle line:84%
But that's not the
way fluid flows are.

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.800 align:middle line:84%
The fluid motion is always 0
in contact with the boundary.

00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:08.680 align:middle line:84%
So now you can think about why
is the profile much steeper

00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:11.040 align:middle line:84%
near the base than
it is higher up.

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:12.160 align:middle line:90%
Think about it.

00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:14.720 align:middle line:84%
Somebody come up
with an answer here.

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:20.080 align:middle line:84%
Why would-- again, I'll give
you the hint-- the T word.

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.532 align:middle line:90%
How about the T word?

00:13:23.532 --> 00:13:25.740 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Does the surface
roughness near the surface

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.960 align:middle line:90%
disrupt turbulence?

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.680 align:middle line:84%
JOHN SOUTHARD: I'm sorry,
I couldn't hear you.

00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:29.780 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Is the surface
roughness near the bottom

00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:30.838 align:middle line:90%
disrupt turbulence?

00:13:30.838 --> 00:13:32.380 align:middle line:84%
JOHN SOUTHARD: Well,
that's relevant,

00:13:32.380 --> 00:13:33.740 align:middle line:90%
but there's more to the story.

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:35.500 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to get
to that pretty soon.

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:37.500 align:middle line:90%
This is a simpler answer.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:41.290 align:middle line:90%


00:13:41.290 --> 00:13:44.273 align:middle line:84%
It's a turbulent flow
and the turbulent eddies

00:13:44.273 --> 00:13:45.190 align:middle line:90%
are doing their thing.

00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:47.010 align:middle line:84%
But the closer you
get to the bottom,

00:13:47.010 --> 00:13:49.650 align:middle line:84%
the less possibility there
is for the turbulence

00:13:49.650 --> 00:13:52.370 align:middle line:90%
to exchange momentum vertically.

00:13:52.370 --> 00:13:54.030 align:middle line:84%
And that goes to
0 at the boundary,

00:13:54.030 --> 00:13:55.930 align:middle line:84%
because the flow
is always parallel

00:13:55.930 --> 00:13:58.230 align:middle line:90%
to the boundary at the boundary.

00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:01.327 align:middle line:84%
So over most of the flow,
there's very effective--

00:14:01.327 --> 00:14:03.410 align:middle line:84%
I don't need to hold that,
because I use my hands.

00:14:03.410 --> 00:14:05.610 align:middle line:84%
It's very effective
mixing back and forth,

00:14:05.610 --> 00:14:08.490 align:middle line:84%
eddies exchanging
positions and evening out

00:14:08.490 --> 00:14:10.710 align:middle line:84%
the flow structure,
the velocity.

00:14:10.710 --> 00:14:13.770 align:middle line:84%
Whereas you go down near the
bottom, and the turbulence

00:14:13.770 --> 00:14:15.970 align:middle line:90%
becomes imperceptible.

00:14:15.970 --> 00:14:21.010 align:middle line:84%
And so the flow has a
very steep gradient right

00:14:21.010 --> 00:14:21.950 align:middle line:90%
near the boundary.

00:14:21.950 --> 00:14:24.970 align:middle line:90%


00:14:24.970 --> 00:14:26.990 align:middle line:84%
And it's called the
viscosity-dominated layer.

00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:29.532 align:middle line:84%
Now, you know about viscosity
I'm going to have a slide on it

00:14:29.532 --> 00:14:30.410 align:middle line:90%
pretty soon.

00:14:30.410 --> 00:14:33.170 align:middle line:84%
It's basically a measure of
the resistance to shearing

00:14:33.170 --> 00:14:35.610 align:middle line:90%
in a continuous medium.

00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:38.200 align:middle line:84%
And so here's that
profile we had.

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.900 align:middle line:90%
And it's turbulent up in here.

00:14:39.900 --> 00:14:43.100 align:middle line:84%
But down near the base, the
turbulence is almost damped out

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:45.780 align:middle line:84%
and any horizontal
motions are very weak.

00:14:45.780 --> 00:14:50.100 align:middle line:84%
And so the flow here is
dominated by viscous effects,

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:51.620 align:middle line:90%
not turbulence effects.

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:55.060 align:middle line:84%
And that's a basic
characteristic of channel flows

00:14:55.060 --> 00:14:58.620 align:middle line:90%
you need to know about.

00:14:58.620 --> 00:14:59.980 align:middle line:90%
So some terminology.

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:02.000 align:middle line:84%
It's not too important
for our purposes.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.540 align:middle line:84%
But there's a
turbulence-dominated region.

00:15:04.540 --> 00:15:06.740 align:middle line:84%
And a viscosity-dominated
region is what they

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:08.660 align:middle line:90%
call a buffer layer in between.

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.900 align:middle line:90%
It's just terminology.

00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:13.780 align:middle line:84%
And it's not to
scale, obviously.

00:15:13.780 --> 00:15:14.320 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.388 align:middle line:90%
So now let's see.

00:15:16.388 --> 00:15:17.680 align:middle line:90%
Oh, I can't remember your name.

00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:19.440 align:middle line:90%
Kuh, Kuh, Kuh-ren?

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.580 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: Koh Ze-Wen

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:21.372 align:middle line:90%
JOHN SOUTHARD: Koh?

00:15:21.372 --> 00:15:22.500 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: Ze-Wen

00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:23.800 align:middle line:90%
JOHN SOUTHARD: OK, you--

00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:27.420 align:middle line:90%


00:15:27.420 --> 00:15:31.100 align:middle line:84%
we have to think about not
just smooth planar boundaries,

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:34.060 align:middle line:84%
but in our case, as
sedimentologists, we

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:36.140 align:middle line:84%
have to think about
rough boundaries.

00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:39.220 align:middle line:84%
And it seems simple, but
it's not really as simple

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:42.260 align:middle line:90%
as it seems.

00:15:42.260 --> 00:15:44.360 align:middle line:90%
This is a tough slide.

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.700 align:middle line:90%
It's in the notes.

00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:49.180 align:middle line:84%
So we have something called
dynamically smooth flow

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:51.180 align:middle line:90%
and dynamically rough flow.

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:55.740 align:middle line:84%
And dynamically smooth flow
is like what I showed you.

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.020 align:middle line:84%
It's a
viscosity-dominated layer.

00:15:58.020 --> 00:16:01.380 align:middle line:84%
And the surface
grains or particles

00:16:01.380 --> 00:16:03.960 align:middle line:84%
are immersed in this
viscosity-dominated layer.

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.100 align:middle line:84%
And it's as if it was
a planar boundary.

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:08.260 align:middle line:84%
As far as the flow
is concerned, it's

00:16:08.260 --> 00:16:10.020 align:middle line:84%
as if it's over a
planar boundary.

00:16:10.020 --> 00:16:15.260 align:middle line:84%
But for stronger
flows, the particles

00:16:15.260 --> 00:16:17.920 align:middle line:84%
stick up above the
viscosity-dominated layer.

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:20.680 align:middle line:84%
There basically is no
viscosity-dominated layer.

00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:23.160 align:middle line:84%
And the particles are
shedding turbulence.

00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:26.980 align:middle line:84%
And the turbulence extends
right down near the grains.

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:30.500 align:middle line:90%
So that's worth keeping in mind.

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.480 align:middle line:90%
So this may help you.

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.390 align:middle line:90%
We'll see.

00:16:33.390 --> 00:16:37.870 align:middle line:84%
A boundary can be physically
smooth and with all viscous drag

00:16:37.870 --> 00:16:39.150 align:middle line:90%
and no roughness.

00:16:39.150 --> 00:16:40.530 align:middle line:90%
It's dynamically smooth.

00:16:40.530 --> 00:16:42.213 align:middle line:90%
But it can be physically rough.

00:16:42.213 --> 00:16:43.630 align:middle line:84%
And when it's
physically rough, it

00:16:43.630 --> 00:16:46.642 align:middle line:84%
can be dynamically
smooth because it's

00:16:46.642 --> 00:16:48.350 align:middle line:84%
all viscous drag and
pressure drag, which

00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:50.310 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to talk about soon.

00:16:50.310 --> 00:16:53.630 align:middle line:84%
And on the other hand,
at higher velocities,

00:16:53.630 --> 00:16:56.310 align:middle line:90%
it can be dynamically rough.

00:16:56.310 --> 00:16:58.590 align:middle line:84%
So that's the
difference between them.

00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:01.310 align:middle line:84%
I haven't told you what Re*
is, but I'm going to get there

00:17:01.310 --> 00:17:02.050 align:middle line:90%
eventually.

00:17:02.050 --> 00:17:04.672 align:middle line:90%


00:17:04.672 --> 00:17:07.130 align:middle line:84%
Boundary Reynolds number--
there's another Reynolds number.

00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:09.297 align:middle line:84%
Boundary Reynolds number,
roughness Reynolds number,

00:17:09.297 --> 00:17:11.450 align:middle line:84%
it's a kind of dimensionless
boundary shear stress.

00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:12.450 align:middle line:90%
And it's useful.

00:17:12.450 --> 00:17:16.310 align:middle line:84%
Rho to the 1/2 tau 0 is the
boundary shear stress to the 1/2

00:17:16.310 --> 00:17:17.730 align:middle line:90%
D divided by mu.

00:17:17.730 --> 00:17:20.349 align:middle line:84%
So this is a useful
little Reynolds number

00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:22.430 align:middle line:90%
that you have to deal with.

00:17:22.430 --> 00:17:26.030 align:middle line:84%
So now to change the
pace here, there's

00:17:26.030 --> 00:17:28.470 align:middle line:84%
something called the
Navier-Stokes equation.

00:17:28.470 --> 00:17:33.080 align:middle line:84%
It's a long partial
differential equation that

00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:35.400 align:middle line:90%
accounts for all of fluid flow.

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.880 align:middle line:84%
The trouble is, it's
very hard to solve.

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.280 align:middle line:84%
You can't solve it
analytically, for most problems.

00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:45.240 align:middle line:84%
And I'm not going to tell
you about the Navier-Stokes

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:50.200 align:middle line:84%
equation, except to show you
the two people who developed it,

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.280 align:middle line:84%
Claude-Louis Navier, who
was a French physicist

00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:56.760 align:middle line:84%
and civil engineer,
and Sir George Gabriel

00:17:56.760 --> 00:18:01.440 align:middle line:84%
Stokes, mathematician,
physicist,

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.940 align:middle line:90%
fellow of the Royal Society.

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:05.880 align:middle line:90%
Big deal, right?

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:10.000 align:middle line:84%
So there's something
called creeping flow.

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.040 align:middle line:84%
What you do is forget
about turbulence

00:18:13.040 --> 00:18:18.960 align:middle line:84%
and just look at the viscous
fluid flow at very low Reynolds

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.340 align:middle line:90%
numbers, which I told you about.

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:21.900 align:middle line:90%
And it's called creeping flow.

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:23.800 align:middle line:84%
This is what it looks
like past a sphere.

00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:27.560 align:middle line:84%
The streamlines diverge,
go around the particle,

00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:28.420 align:middle line:90%
converge again.

00:18:28.420 --> 00:18:31.320 align:middle line:84%
But I didn't draw
it quite right.

00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:32.880 align:middle line:90%
I didn't emphasize it enough.

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:38.280 align:middle line:84%
They come together slower
than they went apart,

00:18:38.280 --> 00:18:41.300 align:middle line:84%
which means there's a
force on the particle.

00:18:41.300 --> 00:18:47.060 align:middle line:84%
So this is useful for small
particles in slow flows.

00:18:47.060 --> 00:18:51.320 align:middle line:90%


00:18:51.320 --> 00:18:55.360 align:middle line:84%
Stokes solved the
Navier-Stokes equations

00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:57.420 align:middle line:90%
by ignoring viscous effects.

00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:01.280 align:middle line:84%
You throw out viscosity and
you have a solvable equation.

00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:04.320 align:middle line:90%
No details here.

00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:13.360 align:middle line:84%
But the thing about it is that
turbulence is not an issue here.

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:15.360 align:middle line:84%
Fluid density is not
in that because there's

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:19.060 align:middle line:84%
no fluid accelerations, or
very, very weak accelerations,

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:23.080 align:middle line:84%
very slow change in the
direction of the flow.

00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:27.890 align:middle line:84%
And this has a
practical application.

00:19:27.890 --> 00:19:29.350 align:middle line:90%
You can measure settling.

00:19:29.350 --> 00:19:33.027 align:middle line:84%
You can measure the settling
velocities of particles,

00:19:33.027 --> 00:19:34.610 align:middle line:84%
so long as the
Reynolds number is low.

00:19:34.610 --> 00:19:38.550 align:middle line:84%
If you have a tank of water,
you add a little fine sand,

00:19:38.550 --> 00:19:41.570 align:middle line:84%
silt-sized particle, and you
drop it until it settles,

00:19:41.570 --> 00:19:43.730 align:middle line:90%
according to Stokes' law--

00:19:43.730 --> 00:19:46.970 align:middle line:84%
and you measure the settling
time, rate of settling,

00:19:46.970 --> 00:19:48.930 align:middle line:90%
and you can figure out the size.

00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:54.770 align:middle line:84%
Back out the size from--
that r is a radius.

00:19:54.770 --> 00:19:57.950 align:middle line:84%
If you put diameter in,
you change the coefficient.

00:19:57.950 --> 00:19:58.950 align:middle line:90%
And this is done.

00:19:58.950 --> 00:20:02.010 align:middle line:84%
This is a common
thing in studying

00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:05.170 align:middle line:84%
fine sediments is to measure
the settling velocity

00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:07.950 align:middle line:90%
and figuring out the size.

00:20:07.950 --> 00:20:10.650 align:middle line:90%
It's very useful.

00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.110 align:middle line:90%
There are devices to do that.

00:20:12.110 --> 00:20:15.830 align:middle line:84%
OK, now let's look at
higher Reynolds numbers.

00:20:15.830 --> 00:20:22.610 align:middle line:84%
So here's a solid surface that
breaks away from the main flow.

00:20:22.610 --> 00:20:25.780 align:middle line:84%
And what happens is that
the flow has so much

00:20:25.780 --> 00:20:27.980 align:middle line:90%
inertia that it keeps on going.

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:34.480 align:middle line:84%
It separates from the solid
surface where it breaks away

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.620 align:middle line:90%
and falls away from the flow.

00:20:36.620 --> 00:20:39.240 align:middle line:84%
And so you get
very strong shear.

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.440 align:middle line:84%
And that shear develops
turbulence on it.

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.820 align:middle line:84%
And you have an expanding
turbulent shear layer.

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:47.460 align:middle line:84%
And you get a lot of mixing,
a lot of entrainment.

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:53.300 align:middle line:84%
And down here, you get a
counter-rotating, irregular

00:20:53.300 --> 00:20:55.100 align:middle line:90%
turbulent vortex.

00:20:55.100 --> 00:20:56.740 align:middle line:84%
And we're going to
see a lot of this

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:59.860 align:middle line:84%
when we talk about
bedforms, ripples, dunes, et

00:20:59.860 --> 00:21:02.620 align:middle line:84%
cetera, because this is a
classic kind of thing that

00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:03.320 align:middle line:90%
goes on.

00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:05.940 align:middle line:90%


00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:08.140 align:middle line:84%
And although I didn't
mention it in the slide,

00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:11.580 align:middle line:84%
it takes a long way
down past the point

00:21:11.580 --> 00:21:15.420 align:middle line:84%
of separation for the
flow to adjust itself

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:18.020 align:middle line:90%
to conditions that are--

00:21:18.020 --> 00:21:20.065 align:middle line:84%
as if there had
been no direction.

00:21:20.065 --> 00:21:22.440 align:middle line:84%
That's a very complicated
sense, but you see what I mean.

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.780 align:middle line:84%
You have to go a long
way before the flow comes

00:21:24.780 --> 00:21:28.410 align:middle line:84%
back to what it was before it
approached this breaking away

00:21:28.410 --> 00:21:29.740 align:middle line:90%
point.

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:34.820 align:middle line:84%
And that's painful for
people studying flows

00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:38.900 align:middle line:84%
around things in open
channels, because the channel

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:41.900 align:middle line:84%
has to be very long before
the effect of the thing that's

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:43.220 align:middle line:90%
there disappears.

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:46.060 align:middle line:90%
But you have to live with that.

00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:48.660 align:middle line:84%
So this is what it would
look like around a sphere.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:51.260 align:middle line:84%
Now, this separation
is not a line.

00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:54.780 align:middle line:84%
It's a circle that goes
around the flow transverse

00:21:54.780 --> 00:21:56.320 align:middle line:90%
cross-section particle.

00:21:56.320 --> 00:22:00.220 align:middle line:84%
And that's where flow-- there's
a flow separation ring that goes

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:01.900 align:middle line:84%
away, goes downstream
of the flow,

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:03.700 align:middle line:84%
with the kind of
thing I described--

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:09.020 align:middle line:84%
turbulent shear layer
developing all around as is a--

00:22:09.020 --> 00:22:15.720 align:middle line:84%
with this blobby mass wake
right behind the sphere.

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.700 align:middle line:90%


00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:20.780 align:middle line:84%
I want to introduce
two terms here,

00:22:20.780 --> 00:22:22.830 align:middle line:90%
skin friction and form drag.

00:22:22.830 --> 00:22:25.990 align:middle line:84%
I used the term form
drag in an earlier figure

00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:28.550 align:middle line:84%
and I didn't think
to define it for you.

00:22:28.550 --> 00:22:31.370 align:middle line:84%
Skin friction is a viscous force
that's on a solid boundary.

00:22:31.370 --> 00:22:33.350 align:middle line:84%
And I've told you
about viscosity.

00:22:33.350 --> 00:22:36.230 align:middle line:84%
Form drag is the front
and back pressure forces

00:22:36.230 --> 00:22:38.070 align:middle line:90%
because of flow separation.

00:22:38.070 --> 00:22:43.990 align:middle line:84%
It turns out that-- and I
should go back to this slide.

00:22:43.990 --> 00:22:48.990 align:middle line:84%
It turns out that the
pressure is high is--

00:22:48.990 --> 00:22:49.650 align:middle line:90%
I'm sorry.

00:22:49.650 --> 00:22:51.310 align:middle line:90%
It's high at the front.

00:22:51.310 --> 00:22:56.390 align:middle line:84%
And then in the back, the
low pressure above and all

00:22:56.390 --> 00:22:59.890 align:middle line:84%
around that circle
means low pressure.

00:22:59.890 --> 00:23:04.110 align:middle line:84%
And so that creates a
drag force just because

00:23:04.110 --> 00:23:06.270 align:middle line:90%
of the structure of the flow.

00:23:06.270 --> 00:23:10.070 align:middle line:84%
And I have another
slide here to show you.

00:23:10.070 --> 00:23:10.930 align:middle line:90%
Wait a minute.

00:23:10.930 --> 00:23:12.510 align:middle line:90%
I have to go.

00:23:12.510 --> 00:23:13.230 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:19.710 align:middle line:84%
So things like the sphere
or a sediment particle

00:23:19.710 --> 00:23:25.000 align:middle line:84%
can be called a bluff body
or a roughness element.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.640 align:middle line:84%
Bluff bodies, your house is
a bluff body in the wind.

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.460 align:middle line:90%
A semi-trailer.

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:31.940 align:middle line:84%
You come up behind a
semi-trailer, it's a bluff body.

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:35.000 align:middle line:84%
And you're tailing
him in the wake

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.420 align:middle line:90%
and you're feeling it like this.

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:39.020 align:middle line:84%
Then you go to pass him and
you're hit with the flow.

00:23:39.020 --> 00:23:41.460 align:middle line:90%
And we are bluff bodies.

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:42.620 align:middle line:90%
We are rough elements.

00:23:42.620 --> 00:23:44.740 align:middle line:84%
Did you ever think of
yourself as a bluff body

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:45.580 align:middle line:90%
and a rough element?

00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:47.480 align:middle line:90%
Probably not.

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.220 align:middle line:90%
But we are.

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:52.040 align:middle line:90%


00:23:52.040 --> 00:23:57.480 align:middle line:84%
So for a low Reynolds number and
not bluff body, smooth boundary,

00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.400 align:middle line:84%
skin friction-- that is, the
friction right at the boundary

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.160 align:middle line:84%
between the flow and
the solid surface--

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.640 align:middle line:84%
is much greater
than this form drag

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.560 align:middle line:84%
that I mentioned on the
last slide about the flow

00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:09.460 align:middle line:90%
around a sphere.

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:10.820 align:middle line:90%
Big pressure difference.

00:24:10.820 --> 00:24:16.640 align:middle line:84%
And you get a lot of pressure,
a lot of force on the particle.

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.120 align:middle line:84%
But relatively high Reynolds
number around bluff bodies.

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:22.900 align:middle line:84%
Form drag is far greater
than skin friction.

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:24.140 align:middle line:90%
So just keep that in mind.

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:27.960 align:middle line:90%


00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.840 align:middle line:84%
Now, there's something
called an inviscid fluid.

00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:33.560 align:middle line:84%
And there's no such thing
as an inviscid fluid.

00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:39.020 align:middle line:84%
But it's also called
an ideal fluid.

00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:42.020 align:middle line:84%
No viscosity, only
pressure and velocity.

00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:43.520 align:middle line:90%
That's all that's involved.

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:46.960 align:middle line:84%
And it turns out that for
large Reynolds numbers,

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.680 align:middle line:84%
outside that thin,
viscosity-dominated layer,

00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:51.560 align:middle line:84%
the nature of the flow
is pretty much like it

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:52.860 align:middle line:90%
is in an inviscid fluid.

00:24:52.860 --> 00:24:54.200 align:middle line:90%
It's a good approximation.

00:24:54.200 --> 00:25:00.120 align:middle line:84%
And that helps us because
there's a relationship

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:02.180 align:middle line:90%
between pressure and velocity.

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:07.240 align:middle line:84%
That v is a velocity there, as
the flow moves around an object.

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.120 align:middle line:84%
So there's an
inverse relationship

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:10.840 align:middle line:90%
between velocity and pressure.

00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:12.320 align:middle line:84%
And I'll show you
why that could be

00:25:12.320 --> 00:25:16.320 align:middle line:84%
useful by looking at an
airfoil of an airplane wing.

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:18.570 align:middle line:84%
You're probably
familiar with this.

00:25:18.570 --> 00:25:21.850 align:middle line:84%
The shape is such that
when the flow goes around,

00:25:21.850 --> 00:25:26.170 align:middle line:84%
because of the stronger
arching on the upper surface,

00:25:26.170 --> 00:25:29.190 align:middle line:84%
the streamlines are
crowded, velocity is higher,

00:25:29.190 --> 00:25:31.570 align:middle line:84%
pressure is lower,
so you get a lift.

00:25:31.570 --> 00:25:34.650 align:middle line:84%
Maybe you knew that about
how airplane wings work.

00:25:34.650 --> 00:25:36.570 align:middle line:84%
The Wright brothers
discovered this

00:25:36.570 --> 00:25:43.130 align:middle line:84%
without knowing why back in
1900 or something like that.

00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:44.470 align:middle line:90%
This is a complicated slide.

00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:47.010 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to show it
in two parts, fluid forces

00:25:47.010 --> 00:25:48.890 align:middle line:84%
on a sphere at low
Reynolds numbers

00:25:48.890 --> 00:25:50.930 align:middle line:84%
and at high Reynolds
numbers, A and B.

00:25:50.930 --> 00:25:53.510 align:middle line:84%
And just so you can
read it more easily,

00:25:53.510 --> 00:25:56.317 align:middle line:84%
I'll show you first the one
at small Reynolds numbers.

00:25:56.317 --> 00:25:58.650 align:middle line:84%
This is the one I defined for
you, the boundary Reynolds

00:25:58.650 --> 00:25:59.370 align:middle line:90%
number.

00:25:59.370 --> 00:26:06.290 align:middle line:84%
And so there's some lift,
but there's a lot of drag.

00:26:06.290 --> 00:26:08.822 align:middle line:84%
And so the total fluid
force is at a moderate sort

00:26:08.822 --> 00:26:11.450 align:middle line:90%
of shallow angle.

00:26:11.450 --> 00:26:18.020 align:middle line:84%
And the line of action is it is
fairly high up on the particle.

00:26:18.020 --> 00:26:20.580 align:middle line:84%
Those pluses and
little arrows are--

00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:24.020 align:middle line:84%
the pluses and minuses
are pressure differences.

00:26:24.020 --> 00:26:28.660 align:middle line:84%
And the little single barbed
arrows are some friction.

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:31.100 align:middle line:84%
But then I'll show
you the other one.

00:26:31.100 --> 00:26:33.260 align:middle line:84%
For large Reynolds
numbers, this would

00:26:33.260 --> 00:26:37.620 align:middle line:84%
be anything coarser than coarse
sand up into the gravel range.

00:26:37.620 --> 00:26:40.540 align:middle line:84%
And you can see
there's a difference.

00:26:40.540 --> 00:26:41.860 align:middle line:90%
It's rough flow.

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:45.060 align:middle line:84%
There's flow separation and
a big pressure difference

00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:46.180 align:middle line:90%
from front to back.

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:47.720 align:middle line:90%
Still some skin friction.

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.340 align:middle line:84%
So it's mainly
dominated by form drag.

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:53.420 align:middle line:84%
And the lift-- lift
is substantial.

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:58.140 align:middle line:84%
I mean, it's almost equal
to the horizontal component

00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:00.540 align:middle line:90%
of the flow.

00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:02.840 align:middle line:84%
So very different, depending
on the Reynolds number.

00:27:02.840 --> 00:27:04.820 align:middle line:84%
And this is relevant
to if we're looking

00:27:04.820 --> 00:27:08.280 align:middle line:84%
at a bed of silt or fine sand
at relatively slow flows.

00:27:08.280 --> 00:27:09.600 align:middle line:90%
That would be the first case.

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:11.142 align:middle line:84%
If we're looking at
coarser sediment,

00:27:11.142 --> 00:27:14.020 align:middle line:84%
like medium to coarse sand
up in the gravel range,

00:27:14.020 --> 00:27:17.380 align:middle line:84%
and then strong and large
Reynolds numbers-- strong

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:19.640 align:middle line:90%
flows-- we'd draw it like this.

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.800 align:middle line:84%
You get a lot of lift,
which is important.

00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:24.420 align:middle line:90%
We'll see that as time goes on.

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:24.960 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.980 align:middle line:84%
That's my pitch on
oscillatory flow.

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:30.620 align:middle line:84%
Now I have to stop for a
minute and you in the back

00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:33.900 align:middle line:84%
will have to readjust because
I want to take my sweater off.

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:36.400 align:middle line:84%
This is the other main
topic we have to deal with.

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.887 align:middle line:84%
We've looked at unidirectional
flows-- down a channel.

00:27:38.887 --> 00:27:39.720 align:middle line:90%
It could be a river.

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.620 align:middle line:84%
It could be a tidal current,
tidal flow, a longshore current

00:27:42.620 --> 00:27:44.300 align:middle line:90%
in the shallow ocean.

00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:47.740 align:middle line:84%
But there's also oscillatory
flow, back and forth flow.

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:50.287 align:middle line:84%
And it's another important
thing to deal with.

00:27:50.287 --> 00:27:52.620 align:middle line:84%
The approach is going to be
a little different from what

00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:55.900 align:middle line:84%
I just gave you, but bear with
me and see what you think.

00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:58.980 align:middle line:84%
All right, so you probably know
that that's a wave with a crest

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:01.460 align:middle line:84%
and a trough, a wave
height and a wavelength.

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:05.140 align:middle line:84%
That's a typical wave
that we would deal with.

00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:09.860 align:middle line:84%
And this is a problem
with this slide here.

00:28:09.860 --> 00:28:13.510 align:middle line:90%
This is supposed to be a circle.

00:28:13.510 --> 00:28:14.690 align:middle line:90%
And I know why it happened.

00:28:14.690 --> 00:28:17.350 align:middle line:84%
I was resizing it,
trying to make it bigger,

00:28:17.350 --> 00:28:18.530 align:middle line:90%
and go up and down.

00:28:18.530 --> 00:28:21.790 align:middle line:84%
And I don't know how
on PowerPoint you

00:28:21.790 --> 00:28:24.117 align:middle line:84%
can expand something without
changing the dimensions.

00:28:24.117 --> 00:28:25.450 align:middle line:90%
There must be a way of doing it.

00:28:25.450 --> 00:28:28.090 align:middle line:90%
But I had to relearn PowerPoint.

00:28:28.090 --> 00:28:31.230 align:middle line:84%
It's been 15 years since
I made a PowerPoint.

00:28:31.230 --> 00:28:32.110 align:middle line:90%
Literally, yes.

00:28:32.110 --> 00:28:32.850 align:middle line:90%
I had to relearn.

00:28:32.850 --> 00:28:38.910 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, so that's what
we see when the wave goes by.

00:28:38.910 --> 00:28:40.550 align:middle line:84%
But there's an
important difference

00:28:40.550 --> 00:28:42.830 align:middle line:84%
between the deep water waves
and shallow water waves.

00:28:42.830 --> 00:28:45.790 align:middle line:84%
And deep water
waves, the sea bed

00:28:45.790 --> 00:28:49.682 align:middle line:84%
is so far down that the orbits
die out slowly with depth

00:28:49.682 --> 00:28:50.390 align:middle line:90%
till you get to--

00:28:50.390 --> 00:28:52.430 align:middle line:84%
they disappear before
you reach the bottom.

00:28:52.430 --> 00:28:54.990 align:middle line:84%
And that's not relevant
to our business here.

00:28:54.990 --> 00:29:01.472 align:middle line:84%
But the shallow water waves,
the orbits are ellipses.

00:29:01.472 --> 00:29:03.430 align:middle line:84%
And I can't tell you why,
but they're ellipses.

00:29:03.430 --> 00:29:05.590 align:middle line:90%
And ellipses die back.

00:29:05.590 --> 00:29:09.510 align:middle line:84%
But there's still back and forth
motion right at the boundary--

00:29:09.510 --> 00:29:12.280 align:middle line:84%
even at the solid
boundary, at the seabed.

00:29:12.280 --> 00:29:13.500 align:middle line:90%
And so that's relevant to us.

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:15.125 align:middle line:84%
We're going to think
about how sediment

00:29:15.125 --> 00:29:16.820 align:middle line:90%
is moved by oscillatory flows.

00:29:16.820 --> 00:29:21.000 align:middle line:90%


00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.820 align:middle line:90%
It's getting late.

00:29:21.820 --> 00:29:22.320 align:middle line:90%
Boy.

00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:23.400 align:middle line:90%
It's getting late.

00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:25.380 align:middle line:84%
So what is the flow
like at the bed?

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:28.160 align:middle line:90%


00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.180 align:middle line:84%
Well, again, we'll
think about variables.

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:32.760 align:middle line:84%
Wave period, max orbital
velocity-- the wave period,

00:29:32.760 --> 00:29:33.260 align:middle line:90%
you know it.

00:29:33.260 --> 00:29:37.360 align:middle line:84%
And orbital velocity, it
moves this way and this way.

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:39.720 align:middle line:84%
And that's an orbital
diameter, how far

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:41.840 align:middle line:90%
the it moves back and forth.

00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:45.680 align:middle line:84%
And the maximum orbital-- in
the middle of the orbit, that's

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.940 align:middle line:90%
the maximum velocity.

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:49.923 align:middle line:90%
So there's three variables.

00:29:49.923 --> 00:29:51.340 align:middle line:84%
And actually, only
two are needed.

00:29:51.340 --> 00:29:52.740 align:middle line:84%
Now, I'm not going
to prove this,

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:54.960 align:middle line:84%
but it's well-known
that the velocity

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:58.300 align:middle line:84%
equals pi times the orbital
diameter divided by the period.

00:29:58.300 --> 00:30:00.320 align:middle line:90%
You just have to accept that.

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:01.560 align:middle line:90%
Only two of these are--

00:30:01.560 --> 00:30:05.400 align:middle line:90%


00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:10.280 align:middle line:84%
but it's U, m, and T that I
and we as sedimentologists

00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:11.940 align:middle line:90%
are mostly interested in.

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:16.300 align:middle line:84%
So we have four variables,
U, m, T, rho, and mu.

00:30:16.300 --> 00:30:19.240 align:middle line:84%
And of course, we get a
dimensionless variable.

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.240 align:middle line:84%
But it turns out that
this doesn't help us much.

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:24.420 align:middle line:84%
I just mentioned
that you can do that.

00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:26.700 align:middle line:84%
It holds for a smooth
bed with no sediment,

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:28.680 align:middle line:84%
but we're dealing with
the mobile bed case

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:33.040 align:middle line:84%
pretty soon for
sediment transport.

00:30:33.040 --> 00:30:37.520 align:middle line:84%
So here's an important
point for shallow water

00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:40.920 align:middle line:84%
waves with very small amplitude,
the time history velocity

00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.600 align:middle line:90%
is symmetrical.

00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:47.280 align:middle line:84%
The forward velocity is
equal to the back velocity.

00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:49.800 align:middle line:84%
But for large amplitude
waves-- and that's

00:30:49.800 --> 00:30:52.920 align:middle line:84%
pretty typical of large waves,
when the troughs are broad

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.360 align:middle line:84%
and the crests are
sharp-- it turns out

00:30:55.360 --> 00:31:00.520 align:middle line:84%
that when the wave
crests are sharper

00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:05.180 align:middle line:84%
and the troughs are broader,
it's not symmetrical,

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:06.300 align:middle line:90%
it's asymmetrical.

00:31:06.300 --> 00:31:10.650 align:middle line:90%


00:31:10.650 --> 00:31:12.810 align:middle line:90%
We just did that.

00:31:12.810 --> 00:31:13.610 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:31:13.610 --> 00:31:16.470 align:middle line:84%
So the thing is, if you
look at the maximum velocity

00:31:16.470 --> 00:31:21.250 align:middle line:84%
when the crest is
passing over you forward,

00:31:21.250 --> 00:31:24.590 align:middle line:84%
the velocity is higher, but
the time of passage is smaller.

00:31:24.590 --> 00:31:27.410 align:middle line:84%
And it's the opposite for
when the trough is over you

00:31:27.410 --> 00:31:29.050 align:middle line:90%
and it's moving backward.

00:31:29.050 --> 00:31:32.570 align:middle line:84%
So there's no net
movement of sediment.

00:31:32.570 --> 00:31:37.250 align:middle line:84%
But it goes this way fast
and this way back slow.

00:31:37.250 --> 00:31:39.810 align:middle line:84%
And so because--
and I'm not going

00:31:39.810 --> 00:31:42.930 align:middle line:84%
to tell you too much about
it, but the sediment transport

00:31:42.930 --> 00:31:45.370 align:middle line:84%
rate, how much
sediment gets moved,

00:31:45.370 --> 00:31:48.890 align:middle line:84%
is a very steeply-increasing
function of the flow velocity.

00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:52.290 align:middle line:84%
And so the consequence is
that there's some net sediment

00:31:52.290 --> 00:31:55.130 align:middle line:84%
movement under a purely
oscillatory flow, which

00:31:55.130 --> 00:31:56.190 align:middle line:90%
seems counterintuitive.

00:31:56.190 --> 00:31:57.430 align:middle line:90%
But that's the way it works.

00:31:57.430 --> 00:32:01.243 align:middle line:90%


00:32:01.243 --> 00:32:03.410 align:middle line:84%
And as you know, the waves
come from the deep ocean,

00:32:03.410 --> 00:32:04.610 align:middle line:90%
and they shoal.

00:32:04.610 --> 00:32:08.660 align:middle line:84%
And when the depth gets
to be less than about

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:16.260 align:middle line:84%
a half a wavelength of the wave,
it begins-- the wave scrunch up.

00:32:16.260 --> 00:32:17.640 align:middle line:90%
It's a technical term.

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.860 align:middle line:84%
The waves scrunch up and
finally break, of course.

00:32:21.860 --> 00:32:24.780 align:middle line:84%
But in this range from
here to here, even

00:32:24.780 --> 00:32:26.380 align:middle line:84%
in purely oscillatory
flow, there

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:31.440 align:middle line:84%
is some net transport
toward the shore.

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.060 align:middle line:90%


00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:38.260 align:middle line:84%
And this is a business
about shoaling waves

00:32:38.260 --> 00:32:39.400 align:middle line:90%
that I just mentioned.

00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.420 align:middle line:90%


00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:45.680 align:middle line:84%
We're talking about
a single oscillation.

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.620 align:middle line:84%
A single wave goes in,
water moves back and forth.

00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:53.000 align:middle line:84%
But you can have more than
one oscillatory component.

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.740 align:middle line:84%
There can be-- let
me get rid of this--

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:58.140 align:middle line:84%
there can be waves running
this way and waves running

00:32:58.140 --> 00:32:59.980 align:middle line:90%
this way or maybe this way.

00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:02.080 align:middle line:84%
And they superimpose
on one another.

00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:04.020 align:middle line:90%
They add to the effect.

00:33:04.020 --> 00:33:06.545 align:middle line:84%
But they act at the
same time, and it

00:33:06.545 --> 00:33:08.920 align:middle line:84%
makes for very complicated
water movements at the bottom,

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:10.000 align:middle line:90%
as you can imagine.

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:13.700 align:middle line:90%


00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:16.520 align:middle line:84%
So when the sea is fully
developed under a storm,

00:33:16.520 --> 00:33:19.620 align:middle line:84%
under a wind, how
big the waves get

00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:22.100 align:middle line:84%
depends on both wind
strength, but also

00:33:22.100 --> 00:33:25.660 align:middle line:84%
how far-- what greater distance
that the wind has the chance

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:28.980 align:middle line:90%
to operate on the surface.

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:32.860 align:middle line:84%
And in a storm, if you've
ever been out on a ship

00:33:32.860 --> 00:33:35.240 align:middle line:84%
during a storm, there's pretty
good size waves running.

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:36.900 align:middle line:90%
They're very complicated.

00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:39.622 align:middle line:84%
So there's a spectrum of waves
running in different directions

00:33:39.622 --> 00:33:41.080 align:middle line:84%
and with different
characteristics,

00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:43.180 align:middle line:90%
and they all add together.

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:44.820 align:middle line:90%
But they're self-sorting.

00:33:44.820 --> 00:33:49.300 align:middle line:84%
Because when the waves move
out away from the storm,

00:33:49.300 --> 00:33:51.960 align:middle line:84%
they sort themselves out
by direction, obviously.

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.820 align:middle line:84%
But also, there's a
low-pass filter effect.

00:33:54.820 --> 00:33:59.240 align:middle line:84%
The bigger waves die out
slower than the smaller waves.

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:01.880 align:middle line:84%
And so when you get well
away from the storm,

00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:03.790 align:middle line:84%
it gets simpler, because
there's only usually

00:34:03.790 --> 00:34:07.850 align:middle line:84%
one dominant
oscillation component,

00:34:07.850 --> 00:34:09.870 align:middle line:84%
unless there were a
couple of subequal ones

00:34:09.870 --> 00:34:13.090 align:middle line:84%
in different directions, which
can happen in major storms.

00:34:13.090 --> 00:34:16.429 align:middle line:90%


00:34:16.429 --> 00:34:18.070 align:middle line:90%
I just talked about this.

00:34:18.070 --> 00:34:21.449 align:middle line:84%
But we have to think about
the bottom water motions,

00:34:21.449 --> 00:34:23.590 align:middle line:84%
because when we talk about
the sediment movement

00:34:23.590 --> 00:34:25.710 align:middle line:84%
by these oscillatory
flows, that's

00:34:25.710 --> 00:34:27.250 align:middle line:90%
an important consideration.

00:34:27.250 --> 00:34:30.310 align:middle line:90%


00:34:30.310 --> 00:34:33.110 align:middle line:84%
So they can be at
right angles, which is

00:34:33.110 --> 00:34:34.989 align:middle line:90%
a fairly simple kind of thing.

00:34:34.989 --> 00:34:37.310 align:middle line:90%
The ellipses would be--

00:34:37.310 --> 00:34:40.310 align:middle line:84%
the orbits would be ellipses
rather than straight lines.

00:34:40.310 --> 00:34:44.389 align:middle line:84%
And if you had two oscillations
not at right angles,

00:34:44.389 --> 00:34:46.949 align:middle line:84%
it gets a very
complicated pattern

00:34:46.949 --> 00:34:48.949 align:middle line:90%
which is infinitely repeating.

00:34:48.949 --> 00:34:50.969 align:middle line:84%
Have you ever heard
of Lissajous figures?

00:34:50.969 --> 00:34:54.610 align:middle line:84%
How many people have heard
of Lissajous figures?

00:34:54.610 --> 00:34:57.270 align:middle line:84%
There's a nice Wikipedia
entry on Lissajous figures.

00:34:57.270 --> 00:34:59.170 align:middle line:84%
And to go and look
at it sometime.

00:34:59.170 --> 00:34:59.890 align:middle line:90%
It's clever.

00:34:59.890 --> 00:35:02.463 align:middle line:84%
Some guy named Lissajous
developed this.

00:35:02.463 --> 00:35:03.880 align:middle line:84%
And I don't know
who he is or when

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.520 align:middle line:90%
he lived or anything like that.

00:35:05.520 --> 00:35:10.060 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, now we have to
deal with combined flows.

00:35:10.060 --> 00:35:12.020 align:middle line:84%
We've talked about
unidirectional flows,

00:35:12.020 --> 00:35:14.260 align:middle line:84%
various things about
the forces and motions.

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:16.260 align:middle line:84%
And we've talked about
oscillatory flows.

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:18.840 align:middle line:84%
But it's natural
to think that there

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:23.280 align:middle line:84%
can be oscillatory flow with
a superimposed unidirectional

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:25.480 align:middle line:90%
flow-- their combined flows.

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:30.120 align:middle line:84%
And in terms of sediment
transport, it's a jungle.

00:35:30.120 --> 00:35:32.320 align:middle line:84%
It's amazingly difficult
to deal with all this.

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:34.480 align:middle line:84%
John Grotzinger, my
long time colleague,

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:36.800 align:middle line:90%
would call it a dog's breakfast.

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.600 align:middle line:84%
He loved that expression,
it's a dog's breakfast.

00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:41.260 align:middle line:90%
Anyway, it's really complicated.

00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:42.120 align:middle line:84%
And we're going to
get to that when

00:35:42.120 --> 00:35:44.340 align:middle line:84%
we talk about sediment
transport and bed forms.

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:46.640 align:middle line:90%
But you have to live with that.

00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:48.980 align:middle line:84%
The simplest case is
they're collinear.

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:51.200 align:middle line:84%
And that's easy to do
in the lab because you

00:35:51.200 --> 00:35:54.400 align:middle line:84%
have a channel with a flow
in it at the same time you're

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:55.640 align:middle line:90%
making waves.

00:35:55.640 --> 00:36:00.220 align:middle line:84%
And you can look at the
effects when they're collinear.

00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:02.960 align:middle line:90%


00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.560 align:middle line:84%
And in this case, you
can see that this is

00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:07.840 align:middle line:90%
a steady-- this is a spectrum.

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.778 align:middle line:84%
Steady unidirectional flow,
time and varying velocity.

00:36:12.778 --> 00:36:14.320 align:middle line:84%
But it can be pulsing
unidirectional.

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:18.520 align:middle line:84%
If you have a minor oscillatory
component, the flow pulses--

00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:21.040 align:middle line:90%
slow fast, slow fast, slow.

00:36:21.040 --> 00:36:23.540 align:middle line:84%
And then there's a
middle thing, stop start.

00:36:23.540 --> 00:36:24.580 align:middle line:90%
It flows and stops.

00:36:24.580 --> 00:36:26.080 align:middle line:90%
It flows and stops.

00:36:26.080 --> 00:36:28.660 align:middle line:84%
But in terms of
sediment transport,

00:36:28.660 --> 00:36:30.200 align:middle line:90%
it's not much different from--

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:31.680 align:middle line:84%
the case of steady
unidirectional

00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:34.240 align:middle line:84%
is not much different from
pulsing unidirectional stop

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:34.740 align:middle line:90%
and start.

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:37.800 align:middle line:84%
But if the oscillatory
component dominates

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.180 align:middle line:84%
over the unidirectional
component,

00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:42.480 align:middle line:84%
you get an asymmetrical
oscillatory flow

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.060 align:middle line:84%
until finally, you get to a
symmetrical oscillatory flow.

00:36:45.060 --> 00:36:49.560 align:middle line:84%
And any one of these
unidirectional components

00:36:49.560 --> 00:36:52.480 align:middle line:84%
and oscillatory components can
be combined with each other

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:53.900 align:middle line:90%
because we have combined flow.

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:56.960 align:middle line:90%


00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:58.950 align:middle line:84%
Now, if they're at right
angles to each other,

00:36:58.950 --> 00:37:01.290 align:middle line:84%
that's a little
more complicated.

00:37:01.290 --> 00:37:03.050 align:middle line:84%
And I don't know
of anybody who's

00:37:03.050 --> 00:37:06.330 align:middle line:84%
done this in the laboratory,
but I had an idea long ago--

00:37:06.330 --> 00:37:09.770 align:middle line:84%
and I thought about doing
a research proposal on it--

00:37:09.770 --> 00:37:14.130 align:middle line:84%
have a channel flow
flowing down it.

00:37:14.130 --> 00:37:16.970 align:middle line:84%
But on the sides of
the channel, all along

00:37:16.970 --> 00:37:20.410 align:middle line:84%
the sides of the channel, there
are reservoirs with entrances

00:37:20.410 --> 00:37:21.570 align:middle line:90%
into the channel.

00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:24.350 align:middle line:84%
So you tilt the
channel back and forth,

00:37:24.350 --> 00:37:27.150 align:middle line:84%
slosh the water sideways while
it's flowing down that way.

00:37:27.150 --> 00:37:29.710 align:middle line:84%
I never did it maybe I
should have done it sometime.

00:37:29.710 --> 00:37:33.570 align:middle line:84%
But I never got into actually
writing a proposal for it.

00:37:33.570 --> 00:37:36.170 align:middle line:84%
So that's pretty
easy to deal with.

00:37:36.170 --> 00:37:38.530 align:middle line:84%
The most difficult case
is when there are currents

00:37:38.530 --> 00:37:40.313 align:middle line:90%
plus multi-directional waves.

00:37:40.313 --> 00:37:41.730 align:middle line:84%
And the only thing
I can think of,

00:37:41.730 --> 00:37:43.570 align:middle line:84%
if you want to do
experiments, you'd

00:37:43.570 --> 00:37:48.650 align:middle line:84%
have to build a very large
wave tank with wave makers

00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:50.090 align:middle line:90%
at various angles.

00:37:50.090 --> 00:37:51.728 align:middle line:84%
Plus you pump
water in at one end

00:37:51.728 --> 00:37:53.270 align:middle line:84%
and you pull it out
of the other end.

00:37:53.270 --> 00:37:55.010 align:middle line:84%
And I don't think
anybody has done that.

00:37:55.010 --> 00:37:57.890 align:middle line:84%
But an experimentalist
like me thinks in terms

00:37:57.890 --> 00:38:00.370 align:middle line:90%
of doing something like this.

00:38:00.370 --> 00:38:02.350 align:middle line:84%
And you could
instrument the seabed.

00:38:02.350 --> 00:38:04.890 align:middle line:84%
People do that and look at
sediment transport and bed

00:38:04.890 --> 00:38:08.090 align:middle line:84%
configurations,
ripples on the seabed.

00:38:08.090 --> 00:38:10.370 align:middle line:84%
But it's difficult
and expensive.

00:38:10.370 --> 00:38:13.210 align:middle line:84%
And it's especially
difficult in major storms

00:38:13.210 --> 00:38:15.450 align:middle line:84%
where much of the
action takes place.

00:38:15.450 --> 00:38:21.170 align:middle line:90%
So it's difficult.

00:38:21.170 --> 00:38:22.250 align:middle line:90%
And that's it.

00:38:22.250 --> 00:38:25.052 align:middle line:90%
So now I have to go to--

00:38:25.052 --> 00:38:26.510 align:middle line:84%
let's deal with
sediment transport.

00:38:26.510 --> 00:38:28.010 align:middle line:84%
Now that all about
fluid flow, let's

00:38:28.010 --> 00:38:29.270 align:middle line:90%
deal with sediment transport.

00:38:29.270 --> 00:38:31.810 align:middle line:90%


00:38:31.810 --> 00:38:34.667 align:middle line:84%
And the obvious place to
start is initiation of motion.

00:38:34.667 --> 00:38:37.250 align:middle line:84%
How strong does the flow have
to be before the sediment starts

00:38:37.250 --> 00:38:37.750 align:middle line:90%
to move?

00:38:37.750 --> 00:38:39.550 align:middle line:84%
It's an important
thing to deal with.

00:38:39.550 --> 00:38:40.750 align:middle line:90%
It's a classic problem.

00:38:40.750 --> 00:38:43.490 align:middle line:84%
Much has been written about it
over the many, many decades.

00:38:43.490 --> 00:38:47.170 align:middle line:84%
So here's a thought experiment
for you, an imaginary field

00:38:47.170 --> 00:38:49.810 align:middle line:90%
trip.

00:38:49.810 --> 00:38:52.270 align:middle line:84%
You can shrink yourself
down to microscopic size.

00:38:52.270 --> 00:38:54.058 align:middle line:90%
You're a micro person.

00:38:54.058 --> 00:38:56.600 align:middle line:84%
And if you're doing it in water,
you have to have scuba gear,

00:38:56.600 --> 00:38:57.380 align:middle line:90%
obviously.

00:38:57.380 --> 00:38:59.700 align:middle line:84%
And you have shoes
that are equipped

00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:02.600 align:middle line:84%
so that you can grab onto
any surface down there.

00:39:02.600 --> 00:39:04.960 align:middle line:84%
We're dealing with sediment
particles on a sediment bed.

00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:06.840 align:middle line:84%
You want to be able to
get your feet onto it.

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.940 align:middle line:84%
And so you go down among
the particles sitting there

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:13.660 align:middle line:84%
on the bed and below the
bed as the flow is flowing.

00:39:13.660 --> 00:39:14.640 align:middle line:90%
What would you see?

00:39:14.640 --> 00:39:15.780 align:middle line:90%
What would you feel?

00:39:15.780 --> 00:39:18.800 align:middle line:84%
Well, clearly there'd be flow
around the surface particles,

00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:21.680 align:middle line:84%
but there'd also be slower flow
around some of the particles,

00:39:21.680 --> 00:39:23.780 align:middle line:84%
fairly well down
in the sediment.

00:39:23.780 --> 00:39:27.740 align:middle line:84%
And it would be
viscosity-dominated flow.

00:39:27.740 --> 00:39:29.220 align:middle line:84%
But there would
be irregularities,

00:39:29.220 --> 00:39:35.500 align:middle line:84%
because overhead, above
the sedimentary bed,

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:37.420 align:middle line:90%
there'd be turbulent flow.

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:40.260 align:middle line:84%
And so there'd be
velocity fluctuations

00:39:40.260 --> 00:39:44.740 align:middle line:84%
that would be transmitted
down into the subsurface.

00:39:44.740 --> 00:39:46.040 align:middle line:90%
That's my field trip.

00:39:46.040 --> 00:39:49.940 align:middle line:84%
But there's more to it
than that because if you--

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:52.510 align:middle line:84%
now I'll turn into a
fluvial geomorphologist.

00:39:52.510 --> 00:39:56.150 align:middle line:84%
Do you know about effluent
streams and effluent streams?

00:39:56.150 --> 00:39:57.130 align:middle line:90%
Maybe not.

00:39:57.130 --> 00:39:59.510 align:middle line:90%
OK, so look at the stream.

00:39:59.510 --> 00:40:02.430 align:middle line:84%
And the groundwater
table comes down

00:40:02.430 --> 00:40:04.190 align:middle line:90%
to the surface of the stream.

00:40:04.190 --> 00:40:08.090 align:middle line:84%
And so if the groundwater table
slopes up from the channel,

00:40:08.090 --> 00:40:12.310 align:middle line:84%
water is coming in from the
subsurface up into the channel.

00:40:12.310 --> 00:40:16.048 align:middle line:84%
And it's not a small--
it's a small effect,

00:40:16.048 --> 00:40:17.590 align:middle line:84%
but it's not
negligible, because that

00:40:17.590 --> 00:40:21.070 align:middle line:84%
would tend to move the particles
upward and entrain them.

00:40:21.070 --> 00:40:25.710 align:middle line:84%
An effluent stream,
the groundwater table

00:40:25.710 --> 00:40:29.358 align:middle line:84%
slopes away from the channel
and you're losing water.

00:40:29.358 --> 00:40:30.650 align:middle line:90%
And so there's a downward flow.

00:40:30.650 --> 00:40:32.920 align:middle line:84%
And that would tend to inhibit
the particle transport.

00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:34.170 align:middle line:90%
I don't think it's a big deal.

00:40:34.170 --> 00:40:39.150 align:middle line:84%
I should talk with Taylor
Perron about that sometime.

00:40:39.150 --> 00:40:43.030 align:middle line:84%
So I told you about the
boundary shear stress.

00:40:43.030 --> 00:40:44.810 align:middle line:90%
Averaged over time and space.

00:40:44.810 --> 00:40:46.490 align:middle line:90%
Skin friction formed lift.

00:40:46.490 --> 00:40:49.723 align:middle line:84%
We did this in
the previous part.

00:40:49.723 --> 00:40:51.390 align:middle line:84%
But you can look at
things a little more

00:40:51.390 --> 00:40:53.670 align:middle line:84%
closely and look
at a sediment bed

00:40:53.670 --> 00:40:55.370 align:middle line:90%
as a flow over the sediment bed.

00:40:55.370 --> 00:40:56.490 align:middle line:90%
And here are particles.

00:40:56.490 --> 00:41:00.873 align:middle line:84%
They have contact points,
usually three contact points.

00:41:00.873 --> 00:41:01.790 align:middle line:90%
They're sitting there.

00:41:01.790 --> 00:41:03.190 align:middle line:90%
And they have a weight.

00:41:03.190 --> 00:41:05.820 align:middle line:84%
And there's a fluid force of
the kind I just talked about.

00:41:05.820 --> 00:41:07.570 align:middle line:84%
And so that's what we
have to think about.

00:41:07.570 --> 00:41:10.390 align:middle line:84%
If we're thinking about
making the move start happen,

00:41:10.390 --> 00:41:14.110 align:middle line:84%
this is the kind of picture
we have to think about.

00:41:14.110 --> 00:41:16.870 align:middle line:84%
And in more detail, we could
say there's this particle maybe

00:41:16.870 --> 00:41:17.830 align:middle line:90%
ready to move.

00:41:17.830 --> 00:41:20.710 align:middle line:84%
And so there are
skin friction forces.

00:41:20.710 --> 00:41:24.870 align:middle line:84%
There are front-to-back
pressure forces.

00:41:24.870 --> 00:41:27.230 align:middle line:84%
And that's what actually
moves the particle.

00:41:27.230 --> 00:41:30.110 align:middle line:84%
And which are more
important, the viscous forces

00:41:30.110 --> 00:41:31.288 align:middle line:90%
or the pressure forces?

00:41:31.288 --> 00:41:33.330 align:middle line:84%
Depends on a Reynolds
number, as you might guess,

00:41:33.330 --> 00:41:36.390 align:middle line:84%
because that's what Reynolds
numbers are all about.

00:41:36.390 --> 00:41:38.810 align:middle line:84%
So this is from what
I gave you before.

00:41:38.810 --> 00:41:39.710 align:middle line:90%
You've seen this.

00:41:39.710 --> 00:41:44.430 align:middle line:84%
And just to remind you that the
nature of forces on a particle

00:41:44.430 --> 00:41:49.000 align:middle line:84%
that might be ready to move is
very strongly a function of this

00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:53.600 align:middle line:84%
Reynolds number Re*,
boundary Reynolds number.

00:41:53.600 --> 00:41:55.040 align:middle line:90%
So let's do more.

00:41:55.040 --> 00:41:56.820 align:middle line:84%
I am a lover of
dimensional analysis.

00:41:56.820 --> 00:41:59.720 align:middle line:90%
I guess you can see that.

00:41:59.720 --> 00:42:03.640 align:middle line:84%
So here's a flow over
a loose granular bed.

00:42:03.640 --> 00:42:05.180 align:middle line:84%
And what do we need
to worry about?

00:42:05.180 --> 00:42:07.100 align:middle line:84%
We need the boundary
shear stress.

00:42:07.100 --> 00:42:09.280 align:middle line:90%
That's what moves the sediment.

00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:11.480 align:middle line:90%
We need the particle size.

00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:14.020 align:middle line:84%
You also need rho and
mu, the field properties.

00:42:14.020 --> 00:42:16.540 align:middle line:84%
But we also need
the specific weight,

00:42:16.540 --> 00:42:19.360 align:middle line:84%
the weight per unit
volume of the sediment.

00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:23.360 align:middle line:84%
Now, you might be saying
to yourself, why do we

00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:29.412 align:middle line:84%
have to have the fluid density
rho and the specific weight?

00:42:29.412 --> 00:42:31.620 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to run through
a little thing with you.

00:42:31.620 --> 00:42:34.160 align:middle line:84%
It'll probably be the
last thing I can do.

00:42:34.160 --> 00:42:36.040 align:middle line:84%
Let's think about the
threshold as a function

00:42:36.040 --> 00:42:40.560 align:middle line:84%
of fluid properties, specific
weight of the particles, size,

00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:41.720 align:middle line:90%
and shear stress.

00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:44.820 align:middle line:84%
And so as before, we
have four of them.

00:42:44.820 --> 00:42:46.580 align:middle line:84%
We have two
dimensionless variables.

00:42:46.580 --> 00:42:51.690 align:middle line:84%
This is a kind of a
dimensionless shear stress.

00:42:51.690 --> 00:42:54.810 align:middle line:84%
And the other is another
kind of Reynolds number.

00:42:54.810 --> 00:42:56.990 align:middle line:84%
This is called the
shields parameter.

00:42:56.990 --> 00:43:00.010 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to tell you about
Albert F. Shields in a minute.

00:43:00.010 --> 00:43:04.330 align:middle line:84%
And u* is a kind
of a fake velocity.

00:43:04.330 --> 00:43:09.590 align:middle line:84%
It's a tau 0 divided
by rho to the 1/2.

00:43:09.590 --> 00:43:12.710 align:middle line:84%
And if you figured out, that
sets the dimensions of velocity.

00:43:12.710 --> 00:43:13.910 align:middle line:90%
So it's not really velocity.

00:43:13.910 --> 00:43:17.390 align:middle line:90%
It's a shear stress in disguise.

00:43:17.390 --> 00:43:19.650 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, that's
the basic thing.

00:43:19.650 --> 00:43:26.330 align:middle line:84%
Now, suppose you have
a smooth granular bed

00:43:26.330 --> 00:43:29.090 align:middle line:84%
and you slowly increase
the flow velocity.

00:43:29.090 --> 00:43:31.490 align:middle line:84%
A few grains start to
move, rolling, sliding.

00:43:31.490 --> 00:43:34.490 align:middle line:84%
And they find new
pockets here and there.

00:43:34.490 --> 00:43:36.110 align:middle line:90%
But you know what that is?

00:43:36.110 --> 00:43:38.630 align:middle line:90%
That's called a printer's fist.

00:43:38.630 --> 00:43:39.390 align:middle line:90%
Did you know that?

00:43:39.390 --> 00:43:40.590 align:middle line:90%
It's a printer's fist.

00:43:40.590 --> 00:43:42.390 align:middle line:90%
I love those printer's fists.

00:43:42.390 --> 00:43:44.750 align:middle line:84%
It's to emphasize
something this important.

00:43:44.750 --> 00:43:46.930 align:middle line:90%
It's a printer's fist.

00:43:46.930 --> 00:43:50.270 align:middle line:84%
The cutoff between no movement
and established movement,

00:43:50.270 --> 00:43:51.850 align:middle line:90%
there's no well-defined point.

00:43:51.850 --> 00:43:53.963 align:middle line:84%
It's first a few
grains start to move,

00:43:53.963 --> 00:43:55.630 align:middle line:84%
and then some more
grains start to move,

00:43:55.630 --> 00:43:58.130 align:middle line:84%
and more and more, and pretty
soon a lot of them are moving.

00:43:58.130 --> 00:43:59.550 align:middle line:84%
Oh, well, it's
past the threshold.

00:43:59.550 --> 00:44:01.370 align:middle line:84%
But there's no way
to actually put

00:44:01.370 --> 00:44:04.202 align:middle line:84%
a value on the
particular threshold.

00:44:04.202 --> 00:44:05.910 align:middle line:84%
This is probably the
last thing I can do.

00:44:05.910 --> 00:44:09.570 align:middle line:84%
But here's a nice graphic way
of thinking about how it works.

00:44:09.570 --> 00:44:13.330 align:middle line:84%
This distribution
is a distribution

00:44:13.330 --> 00:44:15.673 align:middle line:84%
of instantaneous shear
stress on the bed.

00:44:15.673 --> 00:44:17.090 align:middle line:84%
And it ranges from
small to large,

00:44:17.090 --> 00:44:19.210 align:middle line:84%
depending on the
turbulent eddies.

00:44:19.210 --> 00:44:22.370 align:middle line:84%
Over the bed, that's
the size distribution

00:44:22.370 --> 00:44:23.730 align:middle line:90%
of the particles in the bed.

00:44:23.730 --> 00:44:25.330 align:middle line:84%
So when there's no
movement, clearly

00:44:25.330 --> 00:44:29.690 align:middle line:84%
even the strongest flow doesn't
move the most easily-moved

00:44:29.690 --> 00:44:30.350 align:middle line:90%
sediments.

00:44:30.350 --> 00:44:33.570 align:middle line:90%
But you finally get to a point--

00:44:33.570 --> 00:44:35.650 align:middle line:84%
as you increase
the flow velocity,

00:44:35.650 --> 00:44:39.050 align:middle line:84%
the bed size distribution
stays the same and the flow

00:44:39.050 --> 00:44:41.170 align:middle line:84%
distribution shifts
to the right.

00:44:41.170 --> 00:44:42.790 align:middle line:90%
And it starts to overlap.

00:44:42.790 --> 00:44:44.752 align:middle line:84%
And that's what we'd
call incipient motion.

00:44:44.752 --> 00:44:46.460 align:middle line:84%
And then eventually,
it gets to the point

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:48.520 align:middle line:84%
where the flow overlaps
the bed quite a bit

00:44:48.520 --> 00:44:51.740 align:middle line:90%
and we have general motion.

00:44:51.740 --> 00:44:55.940 align:middle line:84%
So there's a famous diagram
called the Shields diagram.

00:44:55.940 --> 00:44:58.080 align:middle line:84%
I don't have a
slide about Shields,

00:44:58.080 --> 00:45:00.660 align:middle line:84%
but there's a nice
interesting Wikipedia

00:45:00.660 --> 00:45:02.580 align:middle line:90%
entry for Albert F. Shields.

00:45:02.580 --> 00:45:03.360 align:middle line:90%
Read it sometime.

00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:05.020 align:middle line:84%
He had an interesting
and varied career

00:45:05.020 --> 00:45:06.760 align:middle line:84%
and I won't spend
time talking about it.

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:10.220 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, this is a plot,
basically dimensionless boundary

00:45:10.220 --> 00:45:13.040 align:middle line:84%
shear stress versus the
boundary Reynolds number,

00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:14.660 align:middle line:90%
which I told you about before.

00:45:14.660 --> 00:45:18.260 align:middle line:84%
And he plotted a number of data
points from the literature.

00:45:18.260 --> 00:45:20.420 align:middle line:90%
Ignore these diagonal lines.

00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:23.020 align:middle line:84%
And he fitted a
curve through it.

00:45:23.020 --> 00:45:24.740 align:middle line:90%
And it looks pretty reasonable.

00:45:24.740 --> 00:45:28.780 align:middle line:84%
But he extended the curve up to
very small boundary Reynolds.

00:45:28.780 --> 00:45:30.820 align:middle line:90%
That is small particles.

00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:33.660 align:middle line:84%
And it climbs without
any data in there.

00:45:33.660 --> 00:45:36.640 align:middle line:84%
And the last thing I want
to do is talk about that.

00:45:36.640 --> 00:45:39.220 align:middle line:90%


00:45:39.220 --> 00:45:41.830 align:middle line:84%
Fine particles tend
to be cohesive,

00:45:41.830 --> 00:45:45.590 align:middle line:84%
because large particles--
any cohesive forces

00:45:45.590 --> 00:45:48.570 align:middle line:84%
between electrostatic cohesive
forces are negligible.

00:45:48.570 --> 00:45:51.310 align:middle line:84%
But when you get down
to really fine sizes,

00:45:51.310 --> 00:45:53.550 align:middle line:84%
they dominate the
situation and the particles

00:45:53.550 --> 00:45:55.630 align:middle line:90%
tend to clump together.

00:45:55.630 --> 00:45:59.790 align:middle line:84%
And so that makes it more
difficult for the flow to move.

00:45:59.790 --> 00:46:02.190 align:middle line:84%
And although there's
no data here,

00:46:02.190 --> 00:46:04.910 align:middle line:84%
that's a reasonable way of
looking at what happens.

00:46:04.910 --> 00:46:07.950 align:middle line:84%
In fine sediments, you have
to really have a strong flow

00:46:07.950 --> 00:46:13.990 align:middle line:84%
to overcome those
interparticle forces.

00:46:13.990 --> 00:46:17.090 align:middle line:84%
And I think-- oh,
one more thing.

00:46:17.090 --> 00:46:18.210 align:middle line:90%
I mentioned this to you.

00:46:18.210 --> 00:46:18.850 align:middle line:90%
Look him up.

00:46:18.850 --> 00:46:20.910 align:middle line:90%
He's an interesting guy.

00:46:20.910 --> 00:46:25.950 align:middle line:84%
And I will mention
in the notes--

00:46:25.950 --> 00:46:28.090 align:middle line:84%
you all got copies
of the notes, right?

00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:29.690 align:middle line:84%
Just in case you
want to look at them.

00:46:29.690 --> 00:46:34.590 align:middle line:84%
And I'm referring these
things to a particular page.

00:46:34.590 --> 00:46:37.410 align:middle line:84%
There's something called
the Hjulstrom diagram.

00:46:37.410 --> 00:46:38.410 align:middle line:90%
I think he was Swedish.

00:46:38.410 --> 00:46:39.310 align:middle line:90%
I'm pretty sure.

00:46:39.310 --> 00:46:42.430 align:middle line:84%
And Sundborg, I
know he was Swedish.

00:46:42.430 --> 00:46:46.530 align:middle line:84%
Variants or extrapolations
of the Shields diagram.

00:46:46.530 --> 00:46:49.630 align:middle line:84%
So this is standard
initiation of motion stuff.

00:46:49.630 --> 00:46:53.127 align:middle line:84%
So I think I'm going
to quit because--

00:46:53.127 --> 00:46:54.210 align:middle line:90%
well, I'll return to this.

00:46:54.210 --> 00:46:54.850 align:middle line:90%
I got to stop.

00:46:54.850 --> 00:46:56.650 align:middle line:90%
It's 4 o'clock, so I'll stop.

00:46:56.650 --> 00:46:59.790 align:middle line:84%
But we'll pick
that up to what we

00:46:59.790 --> 00:47:05.012 align:middle line:84%
do to deal with
initiation motion better.

00:47:05.012 --> 00:47:05.970 align:middle line:90%
And I'll go from there.

00:47:05.970 --> 00:47:07.590 align:middle line:84%
When we have
established motion, you

00:47:07.590 --> 00:47:09.090 align:middle line:84%
have a lot of things
to talk about.

00:47:09.090 --> 00:47:10.390 align:middle line:90%
So I have to quit.

00:47:10.390 --> 00:47:14.070 align:middle line:90%
And I'll see you next week.

00:47:14.070 --> 00:47:16.600 align:middle line:90%
Same time, same place, right?

00:47:16.600 --> 00:47:40.000 align:middle line:90%
