Alluvial River Bed Transport Process with Graded Material

摘要

A theoretical model was developed to describe the deposition distribution ofsolid sediment particles. The model agrees with experimental data collected from tthe study. An attempt was made to search for a single representative sediment size to be applied to existing sediment transport rate predictive equations. A new regression model was developed based on 1151 sets of existing data. The model agreed with these data better tha n any other existing equations. The main contribution from the study was to develop a sediment transport for non-uniform sediment sizes based on the Einstein bed load function.
