Sediment-Transport Mechanics in Stable-Channel Design
The three requisites for a stable alluvial channel are explicitly stated, and the role of sediment transport in each is assessed. The paper demonstrates the similarity of the many sediment-transport formulas, and the general method of their application to design is illustrated. The use of these formulas as scaling relationships between different channels is advocated.
