The characteristics of sediment movement on a silty beach are examined. A formula for the ratio of suspended sediment divided by bed load is derived by means of theoretical analysis and flume tests. Methods for siltation calculations for open channel on the silty beach are proposed.

The formation of ripples and dunes (lower range bed waves) is assumed to be related to the transport of sediment as bed load. From the present theory it is concluded that the formation of the upper range bed configurations (standing waves, antidunes) may be explained on the assumption that the predominant part of the sediment transport is in suspension. The paper presents a mathematical model of the formation of double-periodic antidunes, first-order potential flow theory being applied. It differs from previous models in taking account of the non-uniform distribution of the suspended load. The theory predicts regions of stability and instability. Results are compared with measurements made by different observers.

AbstractBetween 16 and 19 June 1981 a large water pocket of volume 183 000 m3 burst from glacier de Tsidjiore Nouve. From hourly stream discharge and suspended sediment concentration observations a suspended sediment output of 1 674 × 103 kg was calculated. The transport of bed-load was estimated at 3 840 × 103 kg, hence a total quantity of around 5 500 × 103 kg of sediment were removed from the catchment, including the pro-glacial field, in the four days of the outburst.
