KARAKTERISTIK ALIRAN TIDAK SERAGAM DENGAN SEDIMEN SUSPENSI PADA SALURAN TERBUKA

ABSTRACT: The suspended sediment phenomenon has a close relationship with the water system in a river. The complexity of suspended  sediment phenomenon,  as  well  as  the  turbulence  and  non-uniformity  of  flow  will  cause  differences characteristics from the  uniform flow condition. The characteristics of suspended sediment of non-uniform open channel flow were studied using experimental method, by taking a direct measurement in the sediment-recirculating flume at the Hydrology  and  Hydraulic  Laboratory  of  PS-IT  UGM.  The  optical  silt  measuring  instruments  of  Foslim-probe  type  was used for measuring the  concentration distribution of the suspended sediment. While to measure the velocity distribution, electromagnetic flow meter probe set of VM-201H type combined with the vector calculation equipment of DV-101 type were  used.  Fifty  series  of  measurements,  which  comprise  of  eighteen  series  of  uniform  flows,  eighteen  series  of  non-uniform decelerated flows, and fourteen series of non-uniform accelerated flows were obtained in this study. The result of this study shows that the integration constant value of the logarithmic-law, stated as Br, tends to be smaller than the Br-value of clear water. The Br-value tend to increase with the increasing of pressure gradient value of non-uniform flow, n. The Coles wake parameter, , shows a similar trend with the Br-value, in which, the -value tend to increase with the increasing of n-value. The equation of Rouse, as well as, the equation of Tanaka and Sugimoto for uniform flow can predict the sediment concentration distributions of non uniform flow data satisfactory.
