The bedload discharge was obtained by utilizing the energy-work relation of the fluid and the bed material. An equation for velocity distribution was obtained by integrating the Reynolds equations using Prandtl's Hypothesis of mixing length. Applying the basic equation for the distribution of suspended load by O'Brien, the suspended bed-material discharge was investigated in terms of bedload discharge. Then, the total bed-material discharge was obtained simply by adding the bedload discharge and the suspended bed-material discharge. The results through checking with available laboratory and field data appeared to be mutually consistent and satisfactory.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
