Description :
Recently, it has been shown that a very strong worlwide correlation exists between exponential bed particle size diminution coefficients for mobile bed subaerial aqueous flows of all kinds and the lengths of the corresponding stream segments. Together, this correlation and the exponential profile and particle size diminution relationships suggest that a complementary worldwide correlation may exist for the bed concavity coefficients of such flows. In this paper, it is shown that worldwide correlations exist between these bed concavity coefficients and both the corresponding stream segment lengths and bed particle size diminution coefficients.
