Journal Article
Baar, A. W., de Smit, J., Uijttewaal, W. S. J., & Kleinhans, M. G. (2018). Sediment Transport of Fine Sand to Fine Gravel on Transverse Bed Slopes in Rotating Annular Flume Experiments. Water Resources Research, 54(1), 19-45. https://doi.org/10.1002/2017WR020604

Large‐scale morphology, in particular meander bend depth, bar dimensions, and bifurcation dynamics, are greatly affected by the deflection of sediment transport on transverse bed slopes due to gravity and by secondary flows. Overestimating the transv... Read More about Sediment Transport of Fine Sand to Fine Gravel on Transverse Bed Slopes in Rotating Annular Flume Experiments.
