Abstract
Based on the results of field observation in a tidal river, modeling of sediment transport processes is performed and the suspended sediment transport over a long term is simulated with a newly developed procedure, in which the Lagrangian reference frame is used in order to reduce numerical dispersion. The suspended sediment transport in the tidal river is calculated with erosion and deposition of sediments, consolidation of fluid mud to bed mud, and transport by turbidity current. Sediment transport processes concerned with formation and maintenance of turbidity maxima are sufficiently simulated for a fortnightly cycle with the Lagrangian sediment transport model (LSTM).
