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

Measuring and Modelling Sediment Transport on a Macrotidal Ridge and Runnel Beach: An Intercomparison
TL;DR: In this paper, high frequency hydrodynamic data from pressure transducers and electromagnetic current meters were used to describe flow patterns in the intertidal zone while sediment transport rates were estimated using energetics and empirical models.

Changes in Channel Morphology Over Human Time Scales
TL;DR: In this article, Watershed features that control river morphology include topography (valley slope and channel confinement), discharge (magnitude, frequency, and duration of runoff events), sediment supply (volume, calibre and frequency of sediment delivery), and vegetation (riparian communities (bank strength, roughness) and in-channel wood debris).

Flume evaluation of the relationship between suspended sediment concentration and excess boundary shear stress
TL;DR: In this paper, a flume study was undertaken to determine the source of the large variability in field estimates of γ, the coefficient of proportionality between excess shear stress and concentration of suspended sediment at a reference height above the bed.

Water-worked gravel beds in laboratory flumes - a natural analogue?
James R. Cooper,Simon Tait +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of bed formation were examined: one where sediment is manually placed and screeded and the second where sediment was fed into a running flume, and the results revealed that certain physical properties of the sceded bed were clearly different from those of the fed beds.

Finite-amplitude river dunes
TL;DR: The linear and weakly nonlinear stability of a uniform flow in an infinitely wide open channel with erodible bottom is studied in this article, where the flow is found to be unstable, leading to the formation of dunes and antidunes.
