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.

Advances in sediment transport under combined action of waves and currents

TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art knowledge in this field, including sediment incipient motion, bed forms, bed roughness, bed load transport, suspended-load transport, equilibrium sediment concentration, and sheet flow, can be found in this article.

Scale independent linear behavior of alluvial channel flow

TL;DR: In this article, a linear relationship between shear stress and width/depth ratio of alluvial channels was found. But the authors did not consider the effect of sediment transport.

A coupled hierarchical modeling approach to simulating the geomorphic response of river systems to anthropogenic climate change

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical modeling approach was developed and applied to examine potential changes in reach-averaged bedload transport and spatial patterns of erosion and deposition for three snowmelt-dominated gravel-bed rivers in the interior Pacific Northwest.

Bedload Equation Analysis Using Bed Load-Material Grain Size

TL;DR: In this article, 12 predictive bedload sediment transport equations are rated against 14 sets of gravel-bed river field data collected by handheld bedload sampler in Narmab River, northeastern Iran.

9.8 Bedload Kinematics and Fluxes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on bedload kinematics and fluxes, with an emphasis on channels with mixed-size sediment, and use morphological and Eulerian approaches to estimate flux.
