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

Rational regime model of alluvial channel morphology and response
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model is developed for predicting equilibrium alluvial channel form, based on the concept of greatest relative stability, achieved by maximizing resistance to flow in the fluvial system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of a large number of models on flow resistance, vegetation drag, vertical velocity profiles and bed-shear stresses in vegetated channels.

Experimental evidence for statistical scaling and intermittency in sediment transport rates
TL;DR: In this article, a geometrical/statistical formalism called multifractal formalism is used to characterize the roughness of the sediment transport series and the temporal heterogeneity of fluctuations of different strength.

Numerical simulation of turbulent sediment transport, from bed load to saltation
TL;DR: Sediment transport is studied as a function of the grain to fluid density ratio using two phase numerical simulations based on a discrete element method for particles coupled to a continuum Reynolds averaged description of hydrodynamics.

Minimum energy as the general form of critical flow and maximum flow efficiency and for explaining variations in river channel pattern
TL;DR: In this article, a general expression of the Belanger-Boss theorem for critical flow with friction and sediment transport is presented, with maximum efficiency of energy use and minimum friction or minimum energy dissipation as its equivalents.
