Analytical and experimental study of bed load distribution at alluvial diversions

It has long been observed that at most canal bifurcations the water diverted to the branch does not carry sediment in direct proportion to the rate of flow. Usually, the major part of sediment reaching a bifurcation is diverted into the small branches. This phenomenon has always bothered engineers responsible for the maintenance of irrigation...

Discussion of bedload movement formulas of Kalinske, Einstein and Meyer-Peter and Müller and their application to recent measurements of beload in the rivers in Holland

Overview of sediment transport formulas and comparison with measurements in Waal and Rijn river in the Netherlands.

Formulas for Bed-Load transport

In the following paper, a brief summary is first of all given of the results and interpretation of tests already made known in former publications of the Laboratory for Hydraulic Research and Soil Mechanics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. After that, an attempt is made to derive an empirical law of bed-load transport based on...

Anwendung der Aehnlichkeitsmechanik und der Turbulenzforschung auf die Geschiebebewegung

Ph.D thesis of Shields, original version in German. This document is the basis of all modern sediment transport formulae, and develops the concept of bed shear stress.
