Evaluation of sediment transport in high slope rivers: a contribution to the understanding of processes in mountain rivers.

Although sediment transport has been studied extensively, by several authors, these studies have been mainly developed with fine material and low slopes and due to the complexity of sediment transport processes in mountain rivers. Some studies report analysis in high slope rivers and with thick sediment, however, they constitute specific studies with very particular conditions. Very few studies present some validation process other than the mere comparison of observed values and theoretically determined values. In this context and as a contribution for the construction of experiences around numerical modeling and its validation, it is considered convenient to carry out studies that consider in an integral way the theoretical aspects previously developed, numerical results and field measurements, which will reduce the uncertainty present in the quantification of the transport of sediment in mountain rivers when contributing to the integral understanding of the transport processes in transport in mountain Mathematical models and numerical models. In this way, to strengthen the development of science, technologies, the Hydraulic Research Group of the Department of Civil Engineering, and the Department of Water Resources, presents the proposal evaluation of the transport of sediments in rivers of high slope: a contribution to the understanding of the processes in mountain rivers, in which a characterization in the field of natural processes of transport of sediment of the background is established, its theoretical characterization, its theoretical characterization, and a numerical validation through the application of The dynamics of computational fluids (CFD) through which not only the generation of specialized knowledge will be potentiated, but also the training of academic staff.
