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

Laboratory measurements of the direction of sediment transport on transverse alluvial-bed slopes
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a sloping bed on the direction of sediment transport is determined by conducting bed-levelling experiments, and a distinction is made between laboratory conditions and natural rivers.

Drainage basin sensitivity to tectonic and climatic forcing: implications of a stochastic model for the role of entrainment and erosion thresholds
TL;DR: In this article, the average rates of stream incision and sediment transport in the presence of such a threshold were derived and numerically tested for three erosion/transport formulas: the Howard-Kerby shear-stress incision model, the Bridge-Dominic sediment transport model, and a generic shearstress sediment transport.

Turbulence structure over two‐dimensional bed forms: Implications for sediment transport
TL;DR: Turbulence measurements from the flow over two-dimensional fixed dune shapes are presented along with analysis and discussion of the ramifications of the observations for transport of sediment as bed load over bed forms.

Influence of turbulence on bed load sediment transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of an external turbulence field on the bed load sediment transport in an open channel was investigated, where the external turbulence was generated by a horizontal pipe placed halfway through the depth and a series of grids with a clearance of about one third of the depth from the bed, and extending over a finite length of the flume.
