CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT EQUATIONS FOR FINE AND NON-COHESIVE SEDIMENT MIXTURES IN TERMS OF UNIT INPUT STREAM POWER

摘要

A sediment transport equation, based on unit input stream power, for both cohesive and non-cohesive sediments is calibrated and verified with laboratory and field data. It was found that in order to develop an equation valid for both cohesive and non-cohesive sediments, the particle settling velocity had to be separated as a term from the unit input stream power term.
