什么是 Shields parameter, threshold of motion?

又称: Shields parameter · threshold of motion

Definition 20.9 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 20 章 — Erosion and Transport

The Shields parameter of a flow of bed shear stress τb\tau_b over grains of diameter dd and density ρs\rho_s is

θ=τb(ρs−ρ) g d.\theta = \frac{\tau_b}{(\rho_s - \rho)\,g\,d}.

The threshold of motion of the grains is the bed shear stress, or the value θc\theta_c of the Shields parameter, at which they begin to move.

The threshold of motion of quartz grains in water at 20\, C, from the curve of Soulsby and Whitehouse, computed from the fine-sand boundary (0.0625\, mm) to the size of a cobble. (a) The critical Shields parameter is nearly constant for gravel and rises for fine sand. (b) The critical bed shear stress grows almost in proportion to the diameter for gravel.

Example 20.11 (What the river moves)

In the river 2 m2\,\mathrm{m} deep on a slope of 0.0010.001, τb=19.6 Pa\tau_b = 19.6\,\mathrm{Pa}. For grains of 20 mm20\,\mathrm{mm}, θ=19.6/(1651.8×9.81×0.020)=0.060\theta = 19.6/(1651.8 \times 9.81 \times 0.020) = 0.060, just above their threshold of 0.0550.055: they move. For grains of 40 mm40\,\mathrm{mm}, θ=0.030\theta = 0.030, half the threshold: they stay. The river moves its bed up to coarse gravel; for sand of 1 mm1\,\mathrm{mm}, θ=1.21\theta = 1.21, nearly forty times the threshold of 0.0310.031.
