Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTransverse Bed-Slope, Lateral Bed-Load Rate and Bed-Load Deviation Angle in Meandering Alluvial StreamsYoussef Ismail HafezA novel expression for the deviation angle of the bed-load discharge is developed which allows its distinction with the other deviation angles of the flow velocity and boundary shear stress. A transverse bed-slope equation is developed which compares very well with experimental data and field data at the Fall River and Muddy Creek, USA. Stream-wise computations are successfully performed of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Sep 2024 · 4,912 accessesView PDF Cite
