The following paper aims to quantify the bedload transport in the Paraná river in the Porto São José cross section (22°45'52S; 53°10'34W), between Porto Primavera and Itaipu dams, Brazil. In the used method, the bedload ...

Despite limitations in reproducing complex bedload sediment transport processes in rivers, formulas have been preferred over collection and analysis of field data due to the high cost and time-consuming nature of bedload ...

Rivers are immensely important to human activities such as water supply, navigation, energy generation, and agriculture. They are also an important morphodynamic agent of erosion, transport and deposition. Their capacity ...

Bedload transport assessment is important for geomorphological, engineering, and ecological studies of gravel-bed rivers. Bedload can be monitored at experimental stations that require expensive maintenance or by using ...

The current study presents an experimental procedure used to determine bedload sediment transport rates in channels with high gradients and coarse sediment. With the aim to validate the procedure for further investigations, ...

River processes understanding requires the investigation of sediment transported by the streamflow. To this aim, the use of physical samplers is particularly challenging in large sandy rivers, which pushed the thriving of ...

At the smallest scales of sediment transport in rivers, the coherent structures of the turbulent boundary layer constitute the fundamental mechanisms of bedload transport, locally increasing the instantaneous hydrodynamic ...
