Three different synthetic materials of specific gravity 1. 055, 1. 46, each with uniform sizes D50 for 1. 25mm, 1. 05mm, 1. 40mm were used. Some conclusions were obtained from the resultS of these experiments and the data of other reliable sources[1, 2, 3, 4]. They indicate that the grain resistence is greatly affected by D50, and bed form resistances is the function of the downstream slope and the height of the dune. As well as natural sand, Y is not only the function of Y', but also affected by the relative roughness Rb/D50 and the size of the sediment.展开更多
