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

A Model for the Formation of Eskers
Ian Hewitt,Timothy T. Creyts +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a mathematical model for esker formation by the continuous deposition of sediments near the mouth of water-filled subglacial tunnels, where they assume a retreating ice sheet margin and prescribe meltwater and sediment supply to a channelized sub-glacial drainage system, showing that the deposition rate varies roughly quadratically with sediment supply and inversely with water flux.
