Motion of Particles on Bed of a Turbulent Stream

Abstract
The principal aim of this study was to reduce the number of parameters involved in sediment transport in streams to the minimum that could be accurately controlled and systematically and independently varied. Flow conditions were determined independently of the sediment-the quantity of which was too small to affect the conditions. The sediment (small spheres) moved without mutual interference; the variables entering the experimental analysis were therefore confined to distinct characteristics of the sediment and the stream.
