Bar dynamics and sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels

Mountain rivers exhibit sediment transport rate fluctuations that often cover more than two orders of magnitude. Bedform migration is often cited as the key process that causes giant fluctuations in the sediment transport rate. To quantify the effect of bedform migration on transport rate, we ran la...
