Zusammenfassung |
Sediment transport hysteresis refers to the different sediment fluxes that can occur for the
same discharge. For a single rainfall event, the overland flow hydrograph has rising and
falling limbs, for which different hysteresis loops have been observed: (i) clockwise, (ii)
anti-clockwise and (iii) figure 8 with both flow orientations. It has been suggested that the
shape of these loops can be used to identify the different processes of runoff and sediment
transport and the sediment source area. We present simulations carried out using the
Hairsine-Rose (HR) soil erosion model that reproduce all of the above hysteresis loops for
flow conditions that are straightforward to establish in a laboratory soil-erosion flume Based
on the HR model, it is possible to explain the causes of the various types of hysteresis loops,
in particular the role of the particle size distribution and the deposited layer of previously
eroded sediment. Both of these aspects of the HR model, which are not typically included in
commonly used erosion models, are crucial to produce these loops. Furthermore, we
found that more involved hysteresis patterns do not depend on complicated rainfall
distributions. Instead, spatial distributions of deposited sediment from a previous erosion
event play a dominant role in determining the overall form and shape of the loop. |
