The potential rate of bed-load transport. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2006 Averages of measurements made in three rivers characterized by a high availability of sediment in relation to runoff, and comparable data that represent the high end of the range of transport rates observed during three sets of laboratory experiments, confirm there is an upper, particle-size-dependent limit to bed-load transport efficiency.

Quantification of bed-load transport over dunes [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2018 There is disagreement in the literature as to whether a shear stress-based approach can be used to accurately predict sediment transport over dunes. This study aims to address this disagreement.

A bed load transport equation based on the spatial distribution of shear stress – Oak Creek revisit [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2020 Bed load transport formulations for gravel-bed rivers are often based on reach-averaged shear stress values. However, the complexity of the flow field in these systems results in wide distributions of shear stress, whose effects on bed load transport are

Hysteretic Implications for Graded Bed Load Sediment Transport in Symmetrical Hydrograph Flows
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Differential parametric values associated with bed load sediment transport, that result at the same discharge levels on the rising and falling limbs of a flood hydrograph, are usually defined as bed load hysteresis.

Quantitative Study on Bed Load Proppant Transport during Slickwater Hydraulic Fracturing
Lithosphere, 2021 Bed load proppant transport is a significant phenomenon during slickwater hydraulic fracturing. However, the mechanism of bed load proppant transport is still unclear.

Bed-Load Transport Equation on Arbitrarily Sloping Beds [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2008 This work presents a simple tool to evaluate bed-load transport intensity and direction on arbitrarily sloping beds with local longitudinal and transversal inclinations up to 25° and in the case of uniform sediments and low values of the applied Shields stress.

Bed load transport by submerged jets [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1979 Some similarities are presented between the bed load transport of noncohesive grains in long rivers and at a local, jet-induced scour. Experiments are described in which a submerged two-dimensional slot nozzle, inclined downward, eroded a deep sand bed.

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]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2015 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.
