The notion of sediment‐transport capacity has been engrained in geomorphological and
related literature for over 50 years, although its earliest roots date back explicitly to Gilbert in …

This paper concerns a model of bed load transport, which describes the advection and
dispersion of coarse particles carried by a turbulent water stream. The challenge is to …

The impacts of aquatic vegetation on bed load transport rate and bedform characteristics
were quantified using flume measurements with model emergent vegetation. First, a model …

An acoustic Doppler velocimeter was used to measure flow and turbulence around an
experimental spur dike in a flat and a scoured bed. Differences of mean velocity, turbulent …

Bedload transport exhibits considerable spatial and temporal variability, as reflected by
large fluctuations of transport rates. Among the various mechanisms proposed for explaining …

In gravel bed rivers, bed load transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space.
Recently, stochastic bed load transport theories have been developed to address the …

Three-dimensional turbulent flow field was measured around an experimental spur dike by
using a micro-acoustic Doppler velocimeter. Time fractions of turbulent burst events …

Sediment particles transported as bed load undergo alternating periods of motion and rest,
particularly at weak flow intensity. Bed load transport can be investigated by either following …

A 3D Lagrangian model of the saltation of solid spherical particles on the bed of an open
channel flow, accounting for turbulence-induced mechanisms, is proposed and employed as …

This article examines the spatial dynamics of bed load particles in water. We focus
particularly on the fluctuations of particle activity, which is defined as the number of moving …
