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

Bedload transport in alluvial channels
TL;DR: Parker et al. as mentioned in this paper used hydraulic, sediment, land-use, and rock-erosivity data of 22 alluvial streams to evaluate conditions of bedload transport and the performance of selected bedload-transport equations.

Water Measurement with Flumes and Weirs
TL;DR: Water Measurement with Flumes and Weirs as mentioned in this paper describes how to design, construct, and operate long-throated flumes to measure and control water flow in open channels and includes a revised mathematical model for designing a flow measuring structure in any open channel to satisfy user-specified hydraulic boundary conditions and design requirements.

Grains in motion: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a practical, integrated procedure for the prediction of sediment transport rates in both the continental and marine environment, based on the settling velocity of particles, which can assist in flood control and the prevention of contaminant dispersal by wind and water, as well as siltation of dams and harbours.

Numerical modeling of bed deformation in laboratory channels
TL;DR: In this article, a depth-average model using a finite-volume method with boundary-fitted grids has been developed to calculate bed deformation in alluvial channels, which consists of an unsteady hydrodynamic module, a sediment transport module and a bed-deformation module.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different approaches to handling vertical and streamwise sorting in modeling river morphodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of four sediment continuity models for nonuniform sediment by applying these models to an aggradational flume experiment that is dominated by non-iform sediment and dunes.
