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

Influence of sediment supply on mountain streams bedload transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the sediment supply condition of each stream was evaluated qualitatively using information available in the original studies, and the data set was analyzed by comparing bedload transport rates considering a Shields stress ratio and by comparing transport rate efficiency with consideration of a dimensionless stream power.

Onset of erosion and avalanche for an inclined granular bed sheared by a continuous laminar flow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the transport inception of immersed grains with laminar flow conditions in a Hele-Shaw cell when varying the tilt angle of the cell and the water flow rate.

Heavy‐tailed travel distance in gravel bed transport: An exploratory enquiry
TL;DR: This paper investigates the plausibility of heavy-tailed movements for particles in bed load transport using carefully controlled flume experiments and theoretical analysis, and develops a probability model to show howheavy-tailed distributions of travel distance can emerge from a mixture of particle sizes.

TL;DR: In this article, three methods used to estimate river bedload discharges were compared in a large sand-gravel bed river, including sediment sampling, dune tracking method and the equations of Van Rijn and Meyer-Peter and Muller.
