Abstract

It is observed the gravel river sediment discharge with existing empirical regime relationships. The aim of the research is to give a mathematical model about the stable cross-section geometry and to determine a model for the stable slope of an alluvial channel which is in nature seldom stable. In an alluvial channel to reach an equilibrium condition, it changes its plane geometry until to have a stable condition in plane configuration. There are three different parameters in plan configuration about river behavior: width, depth and slope.

Keywords:

Sediment transport; Mathematical model; Empirical regime relationship
