Incipient motion and particle transport in gravel-bed streams

Creator:

Matin, Habib

Abstract:

The incipient motion of sediment particles in gravel-bed rivers is a very important process. It represents the difference between bed stability and bed mobility. A field study was conducted in Oak Creek, Oregon to investigate incipient motion of individual particles in gravel-bed streams. Investigation was also made of the incipient...

Hydraulic control of grain size distributions and differential transport rates of bedload gravels Oak Creek, Oregon

Creator:

Shih, Shyuer-ming

Abstract:

Grain-size distributions of gravels transported as bedload in Oak Creek, Oregon, show systematic variations with changing flow discharges. At low discharges the gravel distributions are nearly symmetrical and Gaussian. As discharges increase, the distributions become more skewed and follow the ideal Rosin distribution. The patterns of variations are established by...
