Fractional transport rates, bed surface texture, and bed configuration were measured after a mixed size sediment had reached an equilibrium transport state for seven different flow strengths in a recirculating laboratory flume. Fractional transport rates were also measured at the beginning of each run when the bed was well mixed and planar.

Predicting fractional bed load transport rates: Application of the Wilcock‐Crowe equations to a regulated gravel bed river [PDF]
Bed load samples from four locations in the Trinity River of northern California are analyzed to evaluate the performance of the Wilcock‐Crowe bed load transport equations for predicting fractional bed load transport rates. Bed surface particles become smaller and the fraction of sand on the bed increases with distance downstream from Lewiston Dam. The

Dynamic Characteristics of Suspended Load and Bed Load Transport in Meltwater Runoff of Qiyi Glacier
[Objective] The transportation of sediment via glacial meltwater can not only reflect the glacial erosion and landform evolution, but also is one of the important sediment sources for the downstream river.

Bed-load measurements on large, sand-bed rivers in the United States
The movement of bed forms (sand dunes) in large sand-bed rivers is being used to determine the transport rate of bed load. The ISSDOTv2 (Integrated Section Surface Difference Over Time version 2) methodology uses time sequenced differences of measured ...

Parameter Optimization of a Bed Load Transport Formula for Nestos River, Greece
In the Second EWaS International Conference (June 2016, Chania, Crete, Greece), the bed load transport formula of Meyer-Peter and Müller (1948) was calibrated with respect to the bed roughness coefficient for Nestos River.

Influence of Suspended Sediment Load on Roughness Coefficient and Intensity of Flow Turbulence (Case study: Haraz, Rostamabad and Beheshtabad Rivers) [PDF]
Estimating the effect of sediment transport, especially suspended load, is important in river planning and management. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of suspended sediment load on the roughness coefficient and the intensity of flow ...

Performance of Bed-Load Transport Equations Relative to Geomorphic Significance: Predicting Effective Discharge and Its Transport Rate [PDF]
Previous studies assessing the accuracy of bed-load transport equations have considered equation performance statistically based on paired observations of measured and predicted bed-load transport rates. However, transport measurements were typically taken during low flows, biasing the assessment of equation performance toward low discharges, and ...

ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) has undergone major changes in the last decades. Its prevalence has been steadily increasing and numerous advances have been made in the management of the disease. However, the effect in real‐life setting of these major changes is unknown, particularly in a Canadian environment. Procedure We aimed to assess

Improving a multi-grain-size total sediment load model through a new standardized reference shear stress for incipient motion and an adjusted saltation height description [PDF]
Modelling sediment transport is important to understand how fluvial systems respond to climatic change or other transient conditions such as catastrophic sediment release.

Experimental Study on Uniform and Mixed Bed-Load Sediment Transport under Unsteady Flow
The scouring and deposition of sediment caused by unsteady flows (e.g., storm waves and floods) produces many secondary disasters. The resultant bed-load movement exhibits different transport laws compared with that by steady flow.
