Dimensionless Illustration: The Grain Size 2 mm Is Indeed “Special” in the Context of Fluvial Sediment Transport and Morphology Open
Long rivers extending from the mountains to the sea often undergo a transition from gravel-bed to sand-bed. The grain size dividing “gravel” and “sand”, i.e. 2 mm, has, on an empirical basis, played a special role i…
