Differential bedload transport rates in a gravel-bed stream : a grain-size distribution approach. Discussion and reply

Auteurs :
DIPLAS, P.
KOMAR, P. D.
SHIH, S. M.

Description :
Shih and Komar argue here that the dimensional analysis of Diplas obscures the relationship between the transport rate and grain size, and in fact leads to a complex implausible dependence. In contrast, their approach allows one to better focus on the changing grain-size distributions as the flow discharge and mean bottom stress increase.
