Description :
The purpose of this discussion is two-fold : 1) to provide a further demonstration of the importance of treating the bedform-flow resistance-sediment transport system in a gravel-bed river as a dynamic interaction, as has been the case for many years in the context of sand-bed rivers; and 2) to emphasize the importance of understanding this interaction and the feedback that controls it in terms of the characteristics of near-bed turbulence.
