Abstract
We experimentally tested the effect of a largerange in helical flow intensity and sedimentmobility on equilibrium transverse slopes,which resulted in a function for slope effectsdepending on bed state and sedimenttransport mode, that deviates from linearfunctions with sediment mobility in literature.Furthermore, we obtained basic relationsfor sorting patterns as a function of transverseslope and sediment mobility
