This research focuses upon size segregation mechanisms in bedload sediment transport.
Simplified experiments with fine grain inputs to a mobile coarse bed in equilibrium were …

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 …

Experiments were undertaken to study the nature of granular interaction in running water by
examining the influence of fine grain inputs to a coarser sediment bed with a mobile surface …

Simplified experiments on fine grain inputs to a coarse bed in mobile equilibrium were
undertaken in a small, steep, narrow flume using spherical glass particles to study the …

Bed conditions (micro‐relief, textural associations and packing structural arrangements) in
the gravel‐bed channel of Seale's Brook are shown to be closely interrelated; various …

In most gravel-bed rivers, and in many gravel-bedded flumes, the bed surface is typically
arranged into patchy areas of similar grain size and sorting. Despite the ubiquity of …

It is well known that sediment sorting according to size, shape and density occurs, but the
exact mechanisms involved are poorly understood. To assess the effects of size and density …

Sediment transport in mountain and gravel-bed-rivers is characterized by bedload transport
of a wide range of grain sizes. When the bed is moving, dynamic void openings permit …

The research project described in this thesis concerns the study of the bed load sediment
transport at the grain scale. It was developed mainly with the aims of analyzing the …

According to the traditional works on sediment transport, the prediction of an expected
transport rate is related to the bulk properties of water flow and sediment [Shields, 1936; …
