Self-cleansing is a design criterion for drainage systems that mitigates the continuous
deposition of sediments at the channel bottom. In recent decades, in order to improve the …

Sediment transport in sewers has been extensively studied in the past. This paper aims to
propose a new method for predicting the self-cleansing velocity required to avoid permanent …

The necessity of sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. Typically,
old sewage systems were designated based on self-cleansing concept where there is no …

The sewer system is a critical component of urban infrastructure, responsible for transporting
wastewater and stormwater away from populated areas. Proper design and management of …

Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The long
term deposit of material in the sewerage systems increases the risk of changes in the …

The application of models capable of estimating sediment transport in sewers has been a
frequent practice in the past years. Considering the fact that predicting sediment transport …

Sediment transport in open channels has complicated nature and finding the analytical
models applicable for channel design in practice is a quite difficult task. To this end, behind …

Mitigation of sediment deposition in lined open channels is an essential issue in hydraulic
engineering practice. Hence, the limiting velocity should be determined to keep the channel …

Old sewerage systems were designed based on empirical rules to minimize sediment
problems and a list of codes for self-cleansing sewers. These codes were applicable to …

The minimum velocity required to prevent sediment deposition in open channels is
examined in this study. The parameters affecting transport are first determined and then …
