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.

Pebble abrasion during fluvial transport: Experimental results and implications for the evolution of the sediment load along rivers

TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by different controlling variables on pebble abrasion during fluvial transport was investigated in a flume replicating hydrodynamic conditions prevailing in mountain rivers.

A general formula for non-cohesive bed load sediment transport

TL;DR: In this paper, a bed load transport formula for non-cohesive sediment, based on the bed-shear concept of Meyer-Peter and Muller, was developed and validated for steady flows, oscillatory flows, and combined steady and oscillatory flow.

Sediment transport models in Shallow Water equations and numerical approach by high order finite volume methods

TL;DR: This paper presents several deterministic models, and presents an unified definition for the solid transport discharge, which defines a coupled system of equations that can be rewrite as a non-conservative hyperbolic system.

Physics‐based modeling of large braided sand‐bed rivers: Bar pattern formation, dynamics, and sensitivity

TL;DR: In this paper, a physics-based morphological model for sand-bed braided rivers has been proposed to reproduce morphology and dynamics characteristic of braided river and determine the model sensitivity to generally used constitutive relations for flow and sediment transport.
