title = "Study on sediment transport of compound channel with non-uniform flows",
abstract = "The experimental study on sediment transport in a straight compound channel with overbank non-uniform flows has been carried out. The studies have shown that degradations and aggradations will occur in the channel for flows with under-loaded sediment and with overloaded sediment correspondingly. Degradations or aggradations are generally developing firstly in the certain short distance of the entrance, and this process develops gradually downstream. The net scoured or deposited sediment from/on the channel beds is almost linearly related to the sand feeding rate, and it will increase as the increasing time. The change of sediment transport rate with time is varying at early stage, after a certain time it will reach a relative stable stage. This would be expected to reach a new (quasi-) equilibrium for the given conditions (flow and tailgate) via adjusting the bed form.",
