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.

Le transport solide en collecteur unitaire d'assainissement et sa modélisation

Husheng Lin
TL;DR: Dans les reseaux d'assainissement unitaires, les apports liquides, effluents domestiques, rejets industriels and eaux de ruissellement pluviales, amenent une quantite de solides non negligeable, et des depots se produisent.

Modeling Noncohesive Sediment Transport Using Multiple Sediment Size Classes

TL;DR: In this article, the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) was used to simulate the experimental results of previous researchers who investigated sediment erosion and gradation around a 180° bend subject to transient flow.

X-ray computed tomography reveals that grain protrusion controls critical shear stress for entrainment of fluvial gravels

TL;DR: In this paper, the critical shear stress (τc) for grain entrainment is a poorly constrained control on bedload transport rates in rivers, and the first complete suite of three-dimensional (3-D) grain geometry parameters for 1055 water-worked grains were presented.

Observations of Time-Dependent Bedform Transformation in Combined Wave-Current Flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present observations of bedform dynamics that were strongly influenced by waves, currents, and combined wave-current flow at two sampling locations separated by 60 m in the cross shore.
