| Title | The Effect of Sand Supply on Transport Rates in a Gravel-Bed Channel |
| Creator | Curran, J. C. Wilcock, Peter |
| Description | In a series of flume experiments using constant discharge, flow depth, and gravel feed rate, sand feed rates were varied from 0.16 to 6.1 times that of gravel. The bed slope decreased with increasing sand supply, indicating that the gravel could be transported at the same rate, along with increasing amounts of sand, at smaller shear stresses. Prediction of river response to an increase in sediment supply requires prediction of mutual changes in bed composition and transport, and therefore a... |
