TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed the principle of similarity for the prediction of stage-discharge relations in alluvial streams. But they did not consider the effect of the number of particles in the stream.Abstract:

Sediment transport; Part I, Bed load transport
TL;DR: In this article, a method is presented which enables the computation of the bed-load transport as the product of the saltation height, the particle velocity and the bed load concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment Transport, Part II: Suspended Load Transport
TL;DR: In this article, a method is presented which enables the computation of the suspended load as the depth-integration of the product of the local concentration and flow velocity, based on the calculation of the reference concentration from the bed-load transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of erosion and sediment transport models
TL;DR: Several different erosion and sediment and sediment-associated nutrient transport models with regard to these factors are reviewed, limited to those models with explicit considerations of either the sediment generation or transport process.

A Sediment Transport Model for Straight Alluvial Channels
Frank Engelund,Jørgen Fredsøe +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple mathematical model for sediment transport in straight alluvial channels is presented, which is based on physical ideas related to those introduced by Bagnold (1954), was originally developed in two steps, the first describing the bed load transport and the second accounting for the suspended load.

On why gravel bed streams are paved
Gary Parker,Peter C. Klingeman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of road pavement in poorly sorted gravel bed streams downstream of dams and found that the coarse half of the subpavement moves through a reach at a rate near that of the fine half.
