Experimental study on non-uniform sediment motion characteristics
The sand in a natural riverbed is usually non-uniform and is considered as the basis for simulating and forecasting the evolution of the natural riverbed, to accurately understand the movement of non-uniform sediment particles.

Movement of sediment over periodic bed [PDF]
The movement of bed load along the closed conduit can lead to a loss of stability of the bed surface, when bed waves arise at the bed of the channel. Investigation of the development of bed waves is associated with the possibility of determining of the ...

Experimental study on the impact of bed forms on bed load transport in mountain streams
The flume experiments of bed load transport in the conditions of highslope shallow water flow were carried out in order to explore the impact of flow hydraulics and bed forms on bed load transport in gravel-cobble rivers in mountainous areas.

Diffusive Regimes of the Motion of Bed Load Particles in Open Channel Flows at Low Transport Stages
The stochasticity of fluid and sediment parameters has been identified as a source of diffusion, particularly anomalous diffusion at different temporal and spatial scales of bed load particle trajectories.

The role of velocity, pressure, and bed stress fluctuations in bed load transport over bed forms: numerical simulation downstream of a backward-facing step [PDF]
Bed load transport over ripples and dunes in rivers exhibits strong spatial and temporal variability due to the complex turbulence field caused by flow separation at bedform crests.

Experimental study on bed load transport in the armoring process
To study the characteristics of bed load transport during armor breakup and reformation, three groups of long-duration laboratory experiments were conducted without sediment supply. Each experiment group employed a stepwise increasing discharge.

A bed-load formula based on kinetic theory
Bed-load plays an important role in sediment transport in fluvial rivers. This paper presents a bed-load formula on the basis of kinetic theory. The pick-up rate of bed-load sediment in the formula is obtained by integrating the velocity distribution ...
