Abstract: In order to simulate a fine‐material slurry of a debris flow, a clay suspension of various concentrations was recirculated in a steep flume. The effect of an increasing fluid density and viscosity on the flow behavior and ...

Abstract: Several indirect methods have been proposed to measure bed-load transport rates. We analyze the relationships between bed-load transport rates, water discharge, and sensor response and determine what can and what cannot ...

Abstract: The Swiss plate geophone system is a bed load surrogate monitoring technique that is used to quantify bed load transport in steep streams. The amplitude of the signal recorded by the Swiss plate geophone contains information ...
