bedload: Calculate sediment transport rate

Description Usage Arguments

Description

bedload estimates the bedload transport rate per unit width based on the Eaton and Church (2011) function, using the bed surface D50 and the mean boundary shear stress

Usage

1
bedload(R, D50, D84, S, Tc50 = 0.036)

Arguments

R

hydraulic radius for channel cross section (m)

D50

median surface grain size (mm)

D84

84th percentile of bed surface in main channel (mm)

S

reach average channel gradient (m/m)

TC50

(optional) critical dimensionless stress for D50 (default = 0.036)
