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

Present and potential sediment yields in the Yampa River Basin, Colorado and Wyoming
TL;DR: Steele et al. as mentioned in this paper used the flow-duration sediment-transport-curve method at 18 sites in the Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming to determine sediment load in streamflow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formal deduction of the Saint-Venant-Exner model including arbitrarily sloping sediment beds and associated energy
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations is performed in order to take into account that the velocity of the sediment layer is smaller than the one of the fluid layer.
Robust prediction of hydraulic roughness
S K McKay,J C Fischenich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a tool for estimating hydraulic roughness from boundary conditions in rivers is presented, which is defined as the primary factor influencing retarding or resisting forces exerted by channel boundaries on stream flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral sediment sources and knickzones as controls on spatio-temporal variations of sediment transport in an Alpine river
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the shear stress conditions needed for the entrainment of the coarse-bed particles in the Glogn River that drains the 400 km2 Val Lumnezia basin, eastern Swiss Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct numerical simulation of pattern formation in subaqueous sediment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of direct numerical simulation of incompressible fluid flow over a thick bed of mobile, spherically-shaped particles using a soft-sphere model for the solid-solid contact.
