The Rouse equation is a well-known deterministic model for suspended concentrations. However, the transport of sediment particles is influenced by several random variables, such as non-uniform sediment size and turbulence structure. Experiments have demonstrated that the stochastic characteristics of turbulence structure, such as ejections and swee...

Transport processes of uniform size sediment particles in steady and uniform flow are described by a multi-state discrete-time Markov chain. The multi-state discrete-time Markov chain is employed to estimate the suspended sediment concentration distribution versus water depth for various steady and uniform flow conditions. Model results are validat...
