Incipient Motion and Sediment Transport
TL;DR: In this paper, a new criterion based on average flow velocity, fall velocity, and shear velocity Reynolds number is proposed to calculate the dimensionless critical unit stream power in a dimensionless stream power equation for sediment transport, which is the ratio of the time rate of potential energy expenditure per unit weight of water and the terminal fall velocity of sediment.

Sediment Transport: Theory and Practice
TL;DR: Sediment Transport Theory and Practice as mentioned in this paper is based on the author's many years of research, teaching, engineering, and consulting experience, and presents a balanced and in-depth treatment of the sediment transport theory and its applications to solving river engineering and environmental problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unit Stream Power and Sediment Transport
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear relationship between the logarithm of the total sediment concentration and the effective unit stream power was shown to dominate the sediment concentration in an alluvial channel, where the coefficients in the proposed equation were related to particle size and water depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unit Stream Power Equation for Gravel
TL;DR: In this article, the basic assumptions used in the derivation of bedload or gravel transport equations are reviewed and examined to determine their validities, and it is shown that unit stream power is mor...
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential Energy and Stream Morphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the concavity of a river basin is shown to be a determinative factor in the formation of a stream system and longitudinal stream profiles can be calculated on the basis of Horton's law and the law of average stream fall.
