Journal ArticleDOI
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
Development and validation of a three-dimensional morphological model
TL;DR: The DELFT3D-FLOW module as discussed by the authors is a 3D flow solver for modeling sediment transport patterns in the water column of the DELFT-3D flow model, which is used to model both suspended and bedload transport of noncohesive sediment.
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.

A genetic classification of floodplains
Gerald C. Nanson,Jacky Croke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between a stream's ability to entrain and transport sediment and the erosional resistance of floodplain alluvium that forms the channel boundary provides the basis for a genetic classification of floodplains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbidity Currents Generated at River Mouths during Exceptional Discharges to the World Oceans
TL;DR: In this article, a marine hyperpycnal plume is a particular kind of turbidity current occurring at a river mouth when the concentration of suspended sediment is so large that the density of the river water is greater than the densities of sea water.

Equilibrium‐conditions in debris‐laden streams
TL;DR: Gilbert as mentioned in this paper formulated the major principles of stream-work and land-sculpture in a paper (G. K. Gilbert, Report on the geology of the Henry Mountains, U.S. Geog. and Geol. Sur. of the Rocky Mountain Region, pp. 99-150, 1877).

Energy-balance in stream-flows carrying suspended load
Robert T. Knapp,Robert T. Knapp +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general expression of stream-equilibrium in the form of an energy-equation is proposed, where the loss in potential energy of the flowing mixture plus the decrease in kinetic energy of flow is equated to the energy consumed in friction plus the energy consumption in supporting the debris.
