Spatial correlations in bed load transport: Evidence, importance, and modeling
Spatial correlations in bed load transport: Evidence, importance, and modeling
This article examines the spatial {dynamics of bed load particles} in water. We focus particularly on the fluctuations of particle activity, which is defined as the number of moving particles per unit bed {length}. Based on a stochastic model recently proposed by \citet{Ancey2013}, we derive the second moment of particle …
