Title The Beginning of Bedload Movement of Mixtures Investigated as Natural Armoring in Channels
Creator Gessler, Johannes
Description Beginning of bedload transport in channels, whose beds are formed by gravel-sand mixtures, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. In order to make a theoretically approachable treatment to the problem two assumptions are made: 1. the turbulent fluctuations of the bottom shear stress are statistically describable by a Gaussian distribution; 2. a grain starts in motion when the effective (instantaneous) eroding bottom shear stress on a grain exceeds a critical value, which is a...
