Abstract

The quantitative determination of bed-material-transport by means of tracers has been considered. For a stationary-stochastical transport-condition the dispersion of tracers has been described by a diffusion-equation of the gradienttype. The parameters of the dispersion-model are derived from the measured concentrations by a least-squares procedure. The measuring-technique has been based on the application of fluorescent tracers (luminophores). Some flume-tests show that the method proposed yields fair quantitative answers.
