AbstractAnalysis of changing of sediment transport is very vital in estuary projects, such as development and management of navigation, port and harbours, environment management, etc. For the Chao Phraya river mouth in Thailand, this problem has been investigated by NED ECO, and AIT. This study is aimed to analysis the change in hydraulic regime of the Chao Phraya river. A hydrodynamic model, RCPW A VE model, sediment transport model are used to analysis the changing of sediment transport problem along the navigation channel in Chao Phraya Estuary with various river concentrations, and wave parameters. The grid system of .1x = .1y = 50 m, which covers a computation domain of 42 km2 is used for all three model above. A time increment of 60 seconds is used for mud transport models. The results of hydrodynamic model as wave height, wave induced current and result of sediment transport model are used for analysis change in hydraulic regime of the Chao Phraya river. Based on the results and the data collection in the upstream station at Nakhon Sawwan from 1956 to 1993, two sets of sediment concentrations are obtained for the past and present conditions and used as sediment transports from the river mouth in computing siltation in the past and present conditions.
