ABSTRACT
This chapter provides descriptions of essential features of modelling of a broad range of problems involving many classes of sediment, flow, applications and research topics. The experimental reproduction of hydraulic processes involving sediment dynamics is focussed on the sediments and not the hydrodynamic processes, which are covered in other chapters. Since a great deal of experimental research on sediment dynamics remains to be done, laboratory experiments to elucidate process knowledge (research) as well as physical modelling of site-specific applications (consultancy) will be covered.
