% Results from a series of numerical model runs predicting the short-term fate of dredged*material disposed in open water are presented. These results cover a wide range of water

depths and ambient currents. The range of conditions tested are intended to represent* typical conditions for material to be disposed in Puget Sound. Because the maximum limits -,f-. material dispersion were of interest, dredged material with a high percentage of readily

dispersed clay and silt was used in most of the disposal simulations. General conclusionsare that for the typical maintenance material containing both sand and clay/silt, the

* disposed material will completely deposit within one hour for most conditions tested. The

only tests which indicated that a portion of the material remained in suspensionl after anhour were those in 800 ft of water with currents of I kn:.t or greater. In general, thodeposition patterns were a fonctioi of' both dejpth and ambient currents. ~f

PUGET SOUND GENERIC DREDGED MATERIAL

DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES

PART I: INTRODUCTION

Bac kground

1. The US Army Engineer District, Seattle (NPS) is assessing Puget

Sound dredged material disposal site alternatives for future dredged material

derived from new work and maintenance dredging activities. The potential open

water sites are located in water depths ranging from about 100 to 800 ft.*

Currents range from still water (0.1 fps) to as great as 2 knots (3.38 fps). -

A key factor in the feasibility of disposal at each site is the ability to

place the material within the defined boundaries of each site without sig- -"-

nificant dispersal beyond these limits. .

Obj ective , , 1.

2. The objective of this investigation was to predict the short-term -

(less than one hour) fate of any dredged material from the Puget Sound area

and barge dumped into the open water sites described in paragraph 1.

Approach

3. The approach used to simulate the barge disposal of the dredged

material was the numerical dump model DIFID (Disposal from Instantaneous

Dump). The model predicted the deposition pattern of disposed material for

each of the conditions tested as well as suspended sediment concentrations in

the water column.

* A table of factors for converting non-ST units of measurement to SI OS

(metric) units is presented on page 3.

PART II: THE NUMERICAL MODEL, DIFID

Description

~4. DIFID was developed by Brandsma and Divoky (1976) for the US

Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) under the Dredged Material

Research Program. Much of the basis for the model was provided by earlier

model development by Koh and Chang (1973) for the barge disposal of wastes

in the ocean. The work was conducted under funding by the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) in Corvallis, Oreg. Modifications to the original

model have been made by Johnson and Holliday (1978) and Johnson (in

preparation).

5. The model requires that the dredged material he broken into various

solid fractions with a settling velocity specified for each fraction. In many

cases, a significant portion of the material falls as "clumps" that may have a

settling velocity of' perhaps 1 to 5 fps. This is especially true for, the

Puget Sound area, where much of the dredging is done by clamshell. This can

also be true in the case of hydraulically dredged material if consolidation

takes place in the hopper during transit to the disposal site. However, in

order to evaluate the "worst case" and to determine the maximum extent of

dispersal frcm a disposal operation, all model tests assumed that the dredged

material was a slurry of uniform density.

6. The behavior of the disposed material is assumed to be separated

into three phases: convective descent, during which the dump cloud or dis-

charge jet falls under the influence of gravity; dynamic collapse, occurring-

when the descending cloud impacts the bottom; and long-term passive diffusion,

commencing when the material transport and spreading are determined mo-re by

ambient currents and turbulence than by the dynamics of the dispr5al opera-

t ion. Figure 1 illustrates these phaopes.

7. During convective descent, the dumped material Kodgro)ws as a

dump site.* The fact that nothing was detectable indicates that Ioss to the

water column during descent was minimal. This is further supported by Gordon

(1973, 1974) who estimated from observed data from a static bottom dump, that

the turbidity cloud in the vicinity of the falling cloud contained less than 0

1 percent of the dumped material. Eventually, the material reaches the bottom

or a neutrally buoyant position in the water column. The vertical motion is

arrested and a dynamic spreading or collapse in the horizontal direction.-.-

occurs. In 100 ft of wat-, the convective descent phase for typical main-

tenance material is completed in a few seconds after dumping. However, in 800

ft of water, the convective descent lasts about two minutes. The basic shape

assumed for the collapsing cloud in the water column is an oblate spheroid.

For the case of collapse on the bottom, the cloud takes the shape of a general

ellipsoid and a frictional force between the bottom and the collapsing cloud

is included. When the rate of horizontal spreading or vertical collapse in

the dynamic collapse phase becomes less than an estimated rate of change due

to turbulent diffusion, the collapse phase is terminated and the long-term O

transport diffusion begins. During collapse, solid particles can settle as a

result of their fall velocity. As these particles leave the main body of

material, they are stored in small clouds that are assumed to have a Gaussian

s tbution. Thc small clouds are then advected hon zontally h the imposed

current field. In addition, the clouds grow both horizontally and vertically

as a result of turbulent diffusion. Since settling of the suspended solids

occurs at each grid point, the amount of solid material deposited on the bot-

tom and a corresponding thickness are determined. The model assumes that no

subsequent erosion of material from the bottom occurs. A detailed description

of the theoretical aspects of DIFID is given by Brandsma and Divoky (1976).

8. The deposition of material (solids volume) predicted by the model is

converted to thickness of deposition by the use of an aggregate voids ratio. .

The equation used by the model to convert solids volume deposited to thickness

of deposition (Brandsma and Divoky 1976) is

9. If the material being dumped is cohesive, and particle aggregation

can be expected to occur during the disposal operation, the model has the capa-

bility to use aggregate, rather than particle, settling velocities. The ag-

gregate settling velocity for the clay/silt (cohesive) fraction is determined

in the model by the following set of equations (Johnson and Holliday 1978).

Required Input Dataata-.

10. The required input data to DIFID can be grouped into (a) a descrip-

tion of the ambient environment at the disposal site, (b) characterization of

the dredged material, (c) data describing the disposal operation, and (d) model

coefficients.

!I. The first t Jk s tha t of const-ructing a horizontal grid ovr thcdisposal site. The model grid used in this study is shown in Figure 2. The

ambient conditions imposed on the grid model for these tests were represented

by a constant water depth and density and a depth-averaged time invariant cur-

rent velocity. The model has the capability to handle a time varying depth-

averaged flow field or a time varying three-dimensional flow field, but

neither of these options was used. In all cases, a single water density pro-

file at the deepest point on the grid must be prescribed.

12. Although the model has the capability to handle dredged material

composed of as many as 12 fractions, th:e dredged material for these tests was

characterizel by two solid fractions. For each solid fraction, its concentra-

tion by volume, density, fall velocity, voids ratio, and an indicator as to

whether or not the fra(tion i:s cohesive must be spe(, fied. In addition, the

bulk d en ity rid aggr'egu-te voids ratio of' the materiail must be prescribed. The

bulk density is the density of the slurry in the barge. As discussed in para-

graph 8, the aggregate voids ratio is actually a bulking factor used to convert

the mass of deposited material to a thickness of deposition. '.

13. Disposal operations data required include the position of the barge

on the horizontal grid, the volume of material dumped, and the loaded and

unloaded draft of the disposal vessel.4... , .. ,%

14. There are 14 model coefficients in DIFID. These required coeffi- ,te.,

cients include entrainment, drag, and turbulent diffusion. Default values O

that reflect the model developer's judgment are contained in the code. Com-

puter experimentation, such as that presented by Johnson and Holliday (1978),

has shown that results appear to be fairly insensitive to many of the coeffi- . ,

cients. The most important are drag coefficients in the convective descent 0

and collapse phases as well as those coefficients governing the entrainment of

ambient water into the dredged material cloud. The values selected for the

convective descent entrainment and drag coefficients in this study were based

upon experimental work done by Bowers and Coldenblatt (1978).15. Model limitations should be considered in the interpretation and

use of model results. These limitations include: (a) limited knowledge of - ,appropriate values for the various model coefficients; (b) imprecise specifi-

cation of settling velocities for the dumped material; (c) representation of

real disposal operations in an idealized fashion, e.g., an instantaneous dumpin this case; and (d) limited model verification with no field observations at - -

the depths to which the model is being applied in some tests.

16. Discussion of a model application using field observationo at a -

disposal site located in Elliott Bay where the average water depth is approxi-

mately 200 ft is presented below. The main reason that field tests have not

been conducted in water deeper than 200 ft is expense. To observe the bottom -

behavior of a collapsing cloud in 800 or even 400 ft of water depth would be

extremely costly. Until such data are available, the assumption is that if .. -

the model behaves properly in 200 ft of water depth, the extrapolation of

model applications to greater depths is valid. .--

Model Verification - Elliott Bay, Washington

17. During February 1976, personnel from Yale University (Bokuniewicz

et al. 1978) monitored a barge disposal operation at the Duwamish disposal

site in Elliott Bay near Seattle, Wash. The dump was made from a 530-cu-yd -

stationary barge. The material possessed an average bulk density of 1.50 g/cc,

with the solid material composed of 55 percent fine material and 45 percent

sand. Although the data collected for comparison with computed results from

DIFID were very limited, the model application and comparison to field data in

an area physically near the present disposal site of interest will increase

confidence in the model's predictive capability in these areas.

18. When attempting to apply any of the dredged material models (DIFID

for instantaneous barge dumps, DIFCD for continuous discharges, or DIFHD for

hopper dredges) to real disposal operations, a basic problem is that of deter- -

mining how to apply these models so that an actual operation can be repre-

sented by the idealized methods of disposal considered in the models. For

example, there are no dredged material disposals in which all of the material

leaves the disposal vessel instantaneously. However, for the case of a barge

dump such as that monitored at the Duwamish disposal site in Elliott Bay, all

of the material left the barge fairly quickly. Also, the water was of such

depth that a dump did resemble a hemispherical cloud falling through the water

column by the time the bottom was encountered. Thus, the instantaneous dump

model, DIFID, is the appropriate model for barge dumps at the Duwamish dis-

posal site in Elliott Bay.

19. The water depth at the Duwamish disposal site was 197 ft with the

ambient current near the bottom measuring about 0.3 fps. ...

20. During the Duwamish disposal site dump operation, a time of 25 sec

was observed for the leading edge of the disposal cloud to strike the bay

bottom. The model, DIFID, computed a descent time of 23 sec, thus comparing -

closely with the observed descent time. The speed of the front of the bottom

surge at 160 ft from the point of the dump was measured to be 20 cm/sec. The

speea of the bottom surge computed by the model at 160 ft from the point of

dump was 22 cm/sec, again comparing well with the field observation. During

field monitoring, suspended solids concentrations were measured at 3 ft above

the bottom at a location 300 ft downstream of the dump point. Within 60 sec

following the dump, the measured suspended sediment concentration was 64 mg/i.

The corresponding concentration computed from the dump model was 75 mg/i,

again demonstrating reasonable behavior.

21. Proper material ,characterization is extrrmely important in oh-

tamning realistic model predictions. The riesalts discussed above were

obtained by assuming that 30 percent of the fine material behaved as con-

solidated clumps, 65 percent of the fine material behaved as a cohesive

flocculating sediment, and the remaining 5 percent of the fine material

retained individual particle characteristics.

22. In summary, with proper material characterization and selection of

* values for the more sensitive model coefficients, the model, DIFID yielded ~

results which compared favorably with the field observations made at the ..

Duwamish disposal site in Elliott Bay, Wash.

PART III: TEST PROGRAM AND RESULTS - -.

Test Conditions

23. The water depth, ambient current, material dumped, and barge bulk

density used in each of the tests are as shown in Table 1. The remainder of

the required model input for each series is shown in Table 2.

Grid size

24. The model grid used for all tests is shown in Figure 2, which

represents an area of 12,000 by 12,000 ft. Each grid cell represented an area

of 400 by 400 ft.

Dump size .

25. To be representative of a typical barge operating in the Puget

Sound area, the dump size used in all tests was 1,500 cu yd.

Duration of simulations

26. The duration of each test was intended to be 3,600 sec (1 hr) after ,0

the barge dump. However, in the tests with the 3.38-fps ambient current velo-

city, dumped material remaining in suspension reached the model boundary

* within one hour, which automatically ended the test.

*. Dump spot

27. The locations of the dumps for each test are shown in Figure 2.

Model coefficients.

28. The model coefficients used in this study, as well as the default

values, are given in Table 3. The default values for coefficients were - 9

established during the original model development. ..-

Material type

29. The dumping of two types of material was modeled in these tests.

The primary material tested consisted of 25 percent fine sand and 75 percent

clay/silt. The clay/silt fraction was modeled as both cohesive and noncohe-

sive materials. The second material consisted of 50 percent fine sand and

50 percent medium sand with no clay/silt.I, . uq

greater than the particle settling velocity. For fine-grained silts and

clays, it is reasonable to assume that particle aggregation will occur as the 0

material ,ettles, resulting in accelerated settling velocities.

32. For Tests 1-12, in depths of water ranging from 100 to 600

ft, all of the dumped material deposited within the 60-min simulation

S period (Plates 1-12). For Test 13, in 800 ft of water and with an ambient .- J.- 1;~.--..',

current speed of 0.1 fps, almost all the material deposited within one hour

" (Plate 13). However for Test 14, in 800 ft of water and a current speed of

* 1.69 fps, a portion of the clay/silt fraction of dumped material was still in

suspension after one hour (Plate 14). For Test 15, in 800 ft of water and

with a current speed of 3.38 fps, the duration of the test was limited to

30 min, at which time a portion of the clay/silt fraction remained in

suspension (Plate 15). The 30-min limit was imposed because at that time

sediment had reached the model boundary. A longer simulation would have re- •

quired extending the grid.

Tests 16-18 .,.

33. Tests 16-18 were identical to Tests 7-9 except that the clay/silt

fraction was not allowed to aggregate. Therefore, only particle settling

velocities were used in the model computations. Comparison of Tests 7-9 with

Tests 16-18 demonstrates that the deposition pattern is much more dispersed if

aggregate settling is not considered. However, as stated earlier, the results "-.-'4.

which include aggregate settling for the cohesive fraction of material should

be more realistic than results which do not. .-. ,*.

Test 19 N.

34. Test 19 is identical to Test 18 except that the barge bulk density

was increased from 1.35 to 1.43 g/cc. As can be seen by comparison of

14

Plates 18 and 19, the impact of the increased bulk density with regard to the

extent of the deposition pattern was negligible under these conditions.

Tests 20 and 21

35. Test 20 used a material which consisted only of fine and medium

sands dumped in water 800 ft deep with an ambient current of 1.69 fps -

(Plate 20). Test 21 (Plate 21) was identical to Test 20 except that the water -

depth was only 100 ft. As can be seen, the resulting deposition patterns for

these two tests are more compact than for the equivalent tests (Tests 2 and

14) using a large clay/silt fraction.

PART IV: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS ,..-,-,

Summary .

0

36. A numerical model for predicting the short-term fate of dredged .- ..'e..

material dumped into open water has been applied over a range of disposal site%. ,..v

conditions representative of those encountered in Puget Sound. The water " " '

depths ranged from 100 to 800 ft with current speeds ranging from essentially

zero to over 3 fps. Two different disposal materials were tested; the first

consisting of 25 percent fine sand and 75 percent clay/silt; and the second

50 percent fine sand and 50 percent medium sand. Tests were conducted using

bulk densities of 1.35 and 1.48 g/cc. The clay/silt fraction of material was .

tested as both cohesive and noncohesive. Model coefficients were generally

selected to be the values determined during the model development (default

values). However, coefficients pertaining to the convective descent of the0

material through the water column were determined from tank test data

collected by JBF Scientific (Bowers and Goldenblatt 1978).

Conclusions

37. The results presented should be viewed in a qualitative sense since

field date were not available for model adjustment. In addition, various

assumptions ini the modeL development should he considered in an analysis of

the model results. These include: •

a. The model treats each of the sediment fractions separately. In'in actual settling process there would be interaction of the

va''ious so!lid fractions. This interaction would probably -

-- itt in more rapid settling than depicted by the model.

b. The ability of tne model to accurately portray water columnconcentrations decrea:ses as the percent of material in suspen-sion decreases and as the time into the simulation increases.At the point where the percent suspended becomes less than

percent and tho' time exr'eeds perha.s 1 800 seC, other uncer-tainities become extremely important factors. ,Such inconsis-tend es inolaAe how muech mate-ri,il di.ssoci ates from the cloudsin the Jescenmt pha;, an.1 the influence :-,f turtbulent diffusion

-. material to leave the barge, all significantly affect the,- spread of material on the bottom. The conditions assumed for

this study represent a "worst case" or "maximum dispersal"situation.

38. Results from the model tests are presented in such a manner as to 0

show the amount and physical limits of dredged material deposited on the

bottom within one hour after the dump occurred. In the tests for which the .- '.clay/silt was treated as cohesive (Tests 1 to 15), all of the material was W.

deposited within one hour after dumping except for Tests 13, 14, and 15. ir iO .

800 ft of water along with a current speed of 0.1 fps (Test 13), only a small ' -

fraction of the dumped material remained in suspension after one hour. In

800 ft of water along with a current speed of 1.69 fps (Test 14), a portion of

the dumped material was still in suspension after cne hour. In 800 ft of 0

water along with a current speed of 3.38 fps (Test 15), the test duration was

limited to 30 min, at which time a portion of the dumped material remained in

suspension. Tests 16 to 18 demonstrated that if the cohesive nature of the

dumped material is not considered, the deposition pattern is significantly O

more dispersed than for the equivalent tests with the cohesive option invoked.

Test 19 demonstrated that the impact of increased bulk density (from 1.35 to

1.48 g/cc) on the overall deposition pattern was negligible for the condition

tested. Finally, Tests 20 and 21 showed that the dumping of a sandy material

containing no clay/silt resulted in deposition patterns that were more compact .

than the patterns for material containing a large clay/silt fraction, given

equivalent recurring water body conditions.
