CALCULATION OF TOTAL CHANNEL EROSION IN COHESIVE SOILS

Abstract

This article highlights the main theoretical and practical issues of calculating general erosion processes in cohesive soil channels. The dynamics of flow saturation with particles and its dependence on flow velocity, sediment concentration, and the physical properties of the soil are studied. Integral consideration of parameters such as flow, topography, geology, and other channel-forming factors is included. Hydraulic parameters of the channel were determined, and its profile was reconstructed based on this methodology.
