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.

On the Role of Sidewalls in the Transition From Straight to Sinuous Bedforms

TL;DR: In this paper, direct numerical simulation (DNS) is used to simulate the transition from straight-crested to sinuous-Crested bedforms. But the simulation setup is similar to that by Zgheib et al. [2018a] except for the presence of sidewalls to better mimic laboratory flume conditions.

Froude scaling limitations in modeling of turbidity currents

TL;DR: In this paper, a scale-invariant analysis of the dimensionless governing equations of turbidity currents is presented to investigate the scale effect associated with the scaling problem associated with turbidity current modeling.

A comparative analysis of capacity and non-capacity formulations for the simulation of unsteady flows over finite-depth erodible beds

TL;DR: In this article, a finite volume model (FVM) for bedload transport based on non-capacity approach and dealing with finite-depth erodible layers is proposed, which is tested against laboratory benchmarking experiments in order to demonstrate its stability and accuracy, pointing out the properties of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium formulations.

A 1D numerical model for the simulation of unsteady and highly erosive flows in rivers

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical finite volume scheme for the coupled shallow water-Exner system in 1D applications with arbitrary geometry is proposed, based on an augmented Roe solver, dealing with solid transport flux variations caused by the channel geometry changes.
