Bedload transport in two gravel-bedded streams

Auteur :
CARLING, P. A.

Description :
Bedload transport measurements in two upland streams are considered as a function of the excess stream power exerted on the bed by the flow. An inverse depth dependence in the efficiency of the transport process was noted but although bedload calibre increased as a function of discharge its influence on efficiency could not be demonstrated. However it was suspected that the size-sorting relationships of the bed-material in a number of rivers in relation to the transport efficiency might profitably be examined further.
