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

Measurement and modelling of the influence of grain size and pressure gradient on swash uprush sediment transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the dependency between sediment transport rate, q, and grain size, D, (i.e. q∝Dp) in the swash zone using the Meyer-Peter Muller (MPM) transport model.

Episodic dynamics of a sand wave field
TL;DR: The morphodynamics of a sand wave field in a flood-dominant channel inside Moriches Inlet was monitored for eight weeks during the summer of 2005 as discussed by the authors, and the maximum peak current speeds recorded during this study only reached 60 cm/s.

Evaluation of bed load transport formulae in a large regulated gravel bed river: The lower Ebro (NE Iberian Peninsula)
TL;DR: In this paper, the predictive power of 10 bed load formulae against bed load rates obtained for a large regulated river (River Ebro) the armor layer of which is subject to repeated cycles of break-up and reestablishment was tested.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1D numerical model is used to define a 50-60 river kilometer segment of river undergoing bed erosion as the transport capacity for bed material is reestablished.

Experimental Study of Low Concentration Sand Transport in Multiphase Air–Water Horizontal Pipelines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the minimum flow rates necessary for effective transport of sand in a pipeline carrying multiphase flow using water and air as carrier fluids, and show that the minimum required flow rates increase with increasing sand concentration.
