River regime based on sediment transport concepts

Rational regime relationships for the width, depth and slope of a river in equilibrium are developed using the Ackers and White sediment transport formula and the White, Paris and Bettess friction relationships, together with a principle of maximum sediment transporting capacity. This concept of maximising the sediment transporting capacity is...

A New General Method for Predicting the Frictional Characteristics of Alluvial Streams

A new method for predicting the frictional resistance of alluvial channels is developed using experimental data. The method is exhaustively tested on an extensive range of field and flume data and compared with the three existing methods due to Einstein and Barbarossa, Engelund and Raudkivi
