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

The stability of ripples and dunes
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of ripples and dunes in flows of finite depth is investigated for the linear, small-amplitude case and also for the more realistic finite amplitude situation, and it is shown that without the inclusion of some lag between the sediment transport rate and the boundary shear stress, all wavelengths are unstable.

Observations of wave orbital scale ripples and a nonequilibrium time‐dependent model
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-dependent model for seafloor ripple geometry was developed based on backscatter imagery from rotary side-scan sonars, centimeter resolution bathymetric maps from a two-axis rotary pencil-beam sonar and forcing hydrodynamics.

Application of a dual‐lithology, depth‐dependent diffusion equation in stratigraphic simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based dynamic-slope approach is incorporated in a two-dimensional (2D) stratigraphic basin simulation software, which predicts downslope sorting of two grain-size classes (here sand and mud).

Sediment production and transport in a proglacial stream: Hilda Glacier, Alberta, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, a small cirque glacier in the Canadian Rocky Mountains yields two principal types of sediment: ablation till, deficient in fine material and produced by rockfalls and avalanches falling on to the glacier surface, and basal lodgement till, rich in fines and formed mainly by subglacial erosion.

Bedload transport in shallow water models: Why splitting (may) fail, how hyperbolicity (can) help
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that for some bedload transport models like the well-known Meyer-Peter and Muller model, the system is hyperbolic and linearly stable, only under some constraint on the velocity.
