Sediment transport theory

Five different transport theories are available to calculate the sediment trans­port rates of non-cohesive sediment in pure current:

·         The Engelund & Hansen total-load transport theory

·         The Engelund & Fredsøe total-load (bed load plus suspended load) transport theory

·         The Zyserman & Fredsøe total-load (bed load plus suspended load) transport formulation

·         The Meyer-Peter & Müller bed-load transport theory

·         The Ackers & White total-load transport method
