Deterministic Uncertainty in Bed Load Transport

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1999
A methodology for detecting nonlinear dynamics in bed load transport rate time series and testing the ability of distribution functions to characterize rate variations is outlined. The Kolmogorov entropy of a time series consisting of >10,000 bed load transport measurements made in a laboratory flume indicates that >80% of the variability can be ...

Bed Load Transport in a River Meander

Water Resources Research, 1984
Bed load transport in Muddy Creek, Wyoming, a sand‐bedded meandering river with equilibrium bottom topography, was found to consist of a zone of maximum sediment flux that shifted across the channel from near the inside bank in the upstream part of the bend toward the pool at the minimum radius of curvature.

Bed-Load Transport

2014
The mode of sediment transport where the sediment particles slide, roll, or travel in succession of low jumps close to the bed is known as bed-load transport. In this chapter, theories of bed-load and formulations to predict the bed-load transport rate are presented. The pioneering attempt to predict the bed-load transport rate was due to MP du Boys in

An Expression for Bed-Load Transportation

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1963
A formula for the calculation of bed-load transportation per unit time and per unit width of the flow is suggested. This formula is valid for steady and uniform turbulent flow and for bed material consisting of grains of equal size and shape. It is assumed that the laminar sublayer of the turbulent flow is smaller than the size of the grains, and that ...

Formulas for the Transportation of Bed Load

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1942
A method for the representation of bed-load data is given in this paper. The method is based on the conception that bed-load transportation is the movement of bed particles, as governed by the laws...

Nonlinear mechanism of bed load transport

Transactions of Tianjin University, 2009
From the group movement of the bed load within the bottom layer, details of the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of bed load movement are discussed in this paper. Whether the sediment is initiated into motion corresponds to whether the constant term in the equation is equal to zero.

BED LOAD TRANSPORT OF BIMODAL SEDIMENTS

ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2009
ABSTRACT Computation of bed load transport of bimodal sediments is a complicated task due to complex interaction of the grain sizes in two modes. The data on bimodal sediments from the previous investigations is used to check the performance of existing method which is based on data of unimodal and weakly bimodal sediments (Patel et al., 1996). Further,

Estimators of alluvial bed load transport

Earth Surface Processes, 1977
The equilibrium stream represents a compromise between three tendencies: (i) to maximize grain size, (ii) to maximize quantity of bed load transported, and (iii) to minimize bed shear stress (which represents, among other things, water discharge).

Erosion And Transport Of Bed-Load Sediment

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1976
In this thesis first a general derivation is given of the 'macro'-equations of mass- and linear-momentum balance that govern the mo'mentum transfer from a Newtonian fluid to rigid particles in a fluid-solid mixture. In particular, attention is paid to a) the attenuation of viscous-momentum transfer from the boundary to the interior of a granular bed ...

Bed Load Transport of Sediment Mixtures

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1986
Experiments were conducted on alluvial beds of four sediment mixtures having different arithmetic mean diameters and standard deviations. The bed load transport rates of individual fractions were measured. Einstein's method, Proffitt and Sutherland's method, and Misri's method of calculation of the bed load transport of individual fractions for ...
