Suspended Sediment Load in Erosion and Reservoir Sedimentation Formulas

Suspended Sediment Load of a flowing fluid, such as a river, refers to the portion of sediment that remains uplifted by the fluid’s flow during the process of sediment transportation. And is denoted by Q_s. Suspended Sediment Load is usually measured using the Ton (metric) per Day for Mass Flow Rate. Note that the value of Suspended Sediment Load is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Suspended Sediment Load?

Suspended Sediment Load of a flowing fluid, such as a river, refers to the portion of sediment that remains uplifted by the fluid’s flow during the process of sediment transportation. Suspended Sediment Load is usually measured using the Ton (metric) per Day for Mass Flow Rate. Note that the value of Suspended Sediment Load is always positive.

Can the Suspended Sediment Load be negative?

No, the Suspended Sediment Load, measured in Mass Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Suspended Sediment Load?

Suspended Sediment Load is usually measured using the Ton (metric) per Day[t/d] for Mass Flow Rate. Kilogram per Second[t/d], Gram per Second[t/d], Gram per Hour[t/d] are the few other units in which Suspended Sediment Load can be measured.
