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

Assessing the geomorphic effects of a flushing flow in a large regulated river
TL;DR: In this article, the role of flushing flows on a river's geomorphology is evaluated using hydrodynamic model CCHE2D. The model provides visualization of the spatial patterns of erosion and deposition for the first time, allowing identification of critical zones where degradation or aggradation may occur.

Modeling Sediment Transport in Ice-Walled Subglacial Channels and Its Implications for Esker Formation and Proglacial Sediment Yields
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1D model of morphodynamics in semicircular bedrock-floored subglacial channels is developed, and the authors apply the model to an idealized landterminating glacier and find that temporary sediment accumulation in the vicinity of the terminus, or the formation of an incipient esker, is inherent to the dynamics of the channelized water flow.

Ecological degradation of a meandering river by local channelization effects: a case study in an Austrian lowland river
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of siltation on the macroinvertebrate community in the River Lafnitz, south-eastern Austria, was examined and the results significantly showed a generally lower taxa diversity, a dominance of tolerant taxa such as Chironomidae and a clear reduction of sensitive taxa, such as Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera (EPT-taxa) and overall lower abundances and biomass in sandy fractions.

Dynamic disturbance regime approach in river restoration: concept development and application
TL;DR: A new conceptual approach for analyzing the interrelationship among plant succession, morphology, and hydrological impacts is presented, based on the dynamic disturbance regime approach, which addresses interdisciplinary processes in river morphodynamics.

Impact of sediment transport formulations on breaching modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the ability of a classical shallow-water-Exner model to simulate the complex process of breaching of a non-cohesive earthen embankment, with a special focus on the sediment transport modelling.
