Comportamento da onda no leito e sua aplicação à medida da descarga de sedimentos por arrasto.

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to analise the relation ship - between the movement of the bed forms and the quantity of sediment transported. The analisisis based on the equation of continuity for sediment motion. With this o bjective, experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume in order t o observe the movement of the bed forms as wellas to directly measure the quantty of sediments transported. The comparison of the results of analisis and measurement indicates that the calculation of the quantity of sediment transported through the observation of the movement of bed forms is quite satisfatory.
