DEVELOPMENT OF A 3D LAGRANGIAN MODEL FOR NUMERICALSIMULATION OF INITIATION OF MOTION OF SEDIMENTPARTICLES

Particle movement will take place when the instantaneous fluid force on a sediment grain isjust larger than the instantaneous resisting force [1]. In order to consider differenthydrodynamic forces which exert on the grain, Newton’s second law can beutilized in aLagrangian perspective
