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

TL;DR: In this article, the process of dune splitting is investigated by carrying out laboratory experiments and by means of a sensitivity analysis using a numerical dune evolution model, which introduced superimposed TRIAS ripples (i.e. triangular asymmetric stoss side-ripples) on the stoss sides of underlying dunes.

Changes in the hydrodynamics of a mountain river induced by dam reservoir backwater
TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed which indicates that changes of mountain rivers upstream from dam reservoirs are driven by modified hydrodynamics and lead to different morphological adjustments than those induced by waters underloaded with sediment downstream from dams.

Sediment traps with guiding channel and hybrid check dams improve controlled sediment retention
Sebastian Schwindt,Sebastian Schwindt,Mário J. Franca,Mário J. Franca,Alessandro Reffo,Anton Schleiss +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel concept for permeable sediment traps with partially open check dams is proposed, where a guiding channel implemented in the deposition area of a sediment trap is systematically studied.

An empirical model of subcritical bedform migration
TL;DR: In this article, the relation between bedform migration rates and transport stage was explored using a field and several flume data sets, and statistically significant positive correlations between ripple and dune migration rates were found.
Sediment transport estimation methods in river systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a new theory is developed for the estimation of concentration as well as bed and suspended load transport rates of non-uniform bed material in river systems, based on the fundamental concepts of hydraulics, turbulence energy and particle motion.
