We report an experimental investigation of the motion of bed load particles under steady and
spatially uniform turbulent flow above a flat sediment bed of uniform grain size. Using a high …

Three methods used to estimate river bedload discharges were compared in a large sand–
gravel bed river. The unit and total bedload transport rates estimated by sediment sampling …

We conduct a critical review of the literature on river morphology and deposits in order to
identify advances made and pending questions in our understanding of gravel bed river …

In the last decade several efforts were devoted to model sediment‐particle transport in rivers
as a stochastic process. Experimental observations are therefore needed to validate these …

The use of microscale experimental rivers (with flow depths of the order of a few millimeters)
to investigate natural processes such as alluvial fans dynamics, knickpoints migration, and …

Despite several decades of investigations, accounting for the effect of the wide range of
grain sizes composing the bed of rivers on bedload transport remains a challenging …

Our data show large scatter in the critical Shields stress values for initial sediment motion.
The main sources of dispersion are related to the methodological procedures defining the …

Sediment transport can be observed within the flow of water in rivers, canals, and coastal
regions, encompassing both suspended-load transport and bed-load transport. Bed-load …

The investigation of coarse sediment transport in wide mountain streams is very challenging
because of limitations that affect the adoption of direct and indirect field monitoring …

Bed load transport is a highly complex process. The probability density function (PDF) of
particle velocities results from the local particle momentum variability in response to fluid …
