The Influence of Vertical Velocity Distribution on the Calculation of Suspended Sediment Concentration

Figure 6

Calculation error of sediment concentration with different values. Among them, (a) the probability distribution of the relative error of different values, the black solid line represents the calculation result of the Rouse equation with , the red-dashed line represents the result calculated by equation (21) with values (Table 1) determined at different water depths, and the blue-dotted line represents the result of equation (21) calculated with the global coefficient rate .
