| Title | Experimental Study of Incipient Motion in Mixed-size Sediment |
| Creator | Wilcock, Peter Southard, J. B. |
| Description | Transport rates of five sediments were measured in a laboratory flume. Three of these sediments had the same mean size, the same size distribution shape, and different values of grain size distribution standard deviation. The critical shear stress for incipient motion of the individual size fractions within these sediments was estimated as that shear stress that produced a small dimensionless transport rate. The sorting of the sediment mixture had little effect on the critical shear stress of... |
