Effect of relative depth in physical models of sediment transport in unidirectional flows / by B.G. Krishnappan, [Peter Engel].: En13-5/86-102E-PDF

"In establishing scaling laws for physical models to simulate sediment transport rate in the vicinity of the bed in unidirectional flows, it has been a common practice to neglect the effect of the relative depth and consider only the shear Reynolds number and the mobility number. As a result, scale effects are introduced in the model because of the influence of flow depth on bed form geometry which in turn affects the friction factor and the sediment transport rate. This paper describes an experimental study to systematically measure the effect of the relative depth on sediment transport rate"--Abstract.
