Abstract

The effect of change of channel width on bed load and transport load of sedimentation for given discharge are studied. The transport load is a mathematical function of change in channel width . The phenomena of transport load of sedimentation in a meandering alluvial channels are significant problems in river engineering and important factor that effects on the works of river control . The finite element model is developed to determine the effect of change of channel width on bed load capacity to ( 2.5 km ) length of the Euphrates river within hit city used value of manning roughness is ( 0.028 ). Calculated the optimum width actualized maximum transport capacity .
