This study proposes a new formula for the concentration profile of unsaturated sediment based on the Hausdorff fractal derivative advection-dispersion equation, to characterize the non-equilibrium regime in natural dammed rivers. The new formula performs better in describing the sediment concentration profiles in the Jingjiang Reach, approximately 100 km below the Three Gorges Dam, compared to Rouse and Han's formulae.
The Rouse formula and its variants have been widely used to describe the vertical distribution of the sediment concentration in sediment-laden flows in equilibrium. Han's formula extends the Rouse formula to non-equilibrium regimes, where the diffusive flux is still assumed to be Fickian. The turbulent flow and suspension regimes downstream of a mega-reservoir, e.g., the Three Gorges Reservoir, usually exhibit fractal and unsaturated properties, respectively. To characterize the non-Fickian dynamics of suspended sediment and the non-equilibrium regime in natural dammed rivers, this study proposes a new formula for the concentration profile of unsaturated sediment based on the Hausdorff fractal derivative advection-dispersion equation. In addition, we find that the order of the Hausdorff fractal derivative is related to the sizes of the sediment and the degrees of non-equilibrium. Compared to Rouse and Han's formulae, the new formula performs better in describing the sediment concentration profiles in the Jingjiang Reach, approximately 100 km below the Three Gorges Dam.
