SEDIMENT CONTINUITY FOR RIVERS WITH NON-UNIFORM SEDIMENT, DUNES, AND BED LOAD TRANSPORT

摘要

The sediment continuity model introduced in this paper seems promising. It is the first sediment continuity model that incorporates sediment sorting fluxes through 1) bedform migration, 2) the variability in bedform trough elevations, and 3) changes in average bed level. A submodel for the time evolution of the PDF of trough elevations needs to be developed in order to use the model as a predictive tool.
