Gravel threshold of motion: a state function of sediment transport disequilibrium?

In most sediment transport models, a threshold variable dictates the shear stress at which non-negligible bedload transport begins. Previous work has demonstrated that nondimensional transport thresholds (<i>τ</i><sub>c</sub>*) vary with many factors related not only to grain...
