An optimization model for the development and response of alluvial river channels

In this thesis an optimization model has been developed to calculate the equilibrium geometry of alluvial gravel-bed rivers for a given set of independent variables. The independent variables are the discharges, both the magnitude and duration which are represented by a flow-duration curve; the mean...
