TLDR
In this article, an attempt is made to derive an empirical law of bed-load transport based on recent experimental data and the results and interpretation of tests already made known in former publications of the Laboratory for Hydraulic Research and Soil Mechanics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich.Abstract:
In the following paper, a brief summary is first of all given of the results and interpretation of tests already made known in former publications of the Laboratory for Hydraulic Research and Soil Mechanics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. After that, an attempt is made to derive an empirical law of bed-load transport based on recent experimental data. We desire to state expressly that by bed-load transport is meant the movement of the solid material rolling or jumping along the bed of a river; transport of matter in suspension is not included.read more

Comparisons of sidewall correction of bed shear stress in open-channel flows
Nian-Sheng Cheng,Lloyd H.C. Chua +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new sidewall correction model was proposed based on the shear stress function and equivalent roughness size for both rigid and mobile bed conditions, which were obtained directly from experimental measurements.

Shift Happens! Adjusting Stage‐Discharge Rating Curves to Morphological Changes at Known Times
TL;DR: Establishing streamflow time series in unstable rivers is challenged by changes in the stage-discharge relation after floods, so the field hydrologist must develop a new stage- discharge rating c after floods.

Predicting fractional bed load transport rates: Application of the Wilcock-Crowe equations to a regulated gravel bed river
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance of the Wilcock-Crowe bed load transport equations for predicting fractional load load transport rates in the Trinity River of northern California.

Morphodynamic regime of gravel bed, single-thread meandering rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors link theoretical and experimental findings on the issue of two-dimensional morphodynamic influence with field data from natural single-thread rivers and explore the predictions of a mechanistic meander simulation model based on the input of field data referring to more than 100 gravel bed rivers.

Parameterization of river incision models requires accounting for environmental heterogeneity: insights from the tropical Andes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore spatial differences in the rate of bedrock river incision in the Ecuadorian Andes using three different stream power models and show that lithological heterogeneity is key to predicting the spatial patterns of incision.
