theoretically determined equilibrium channel geometries and actual measurements along the middle and lower Yangtze River. Using 4 different forms of the Meyer-Peter and Müller bedload relation and relations of flow continuity and resistance the AA. show
that the Meyer-Peter and Müller bedload relation modified on the basis of MFE theory predicts channel dimensions most accurately when applied to the middle and lower Yangtze River. This provides convincing evidence supporting MFE equilibrium theory.
