The Quasi-Equilibrium Longitudinal Profile in Backwater Reaches of the Engineered Alluvial River: A Space-Marching Method

An engineered alluvial river (i.e., a fixed-width channel) has constrained planform but is free to adjust channel slope and bed surface texture. These features are subject to controls: the hydrograph, sediment flux, and downstream base level. If the controls are sustained (or change slowly relative to the timescale of channel response), the...
