Schoklitsch Total Bed Load Formula


Equation for calculate schoklitsch total bed load is,

Gb = (86.7 / Dg½) × S3/2 × (Qi - bqo)

where,
Gb - total bed load,
Dg - effective grain diameter,
S - slope of energy gradient,
Qi - total instantaneous discharge,
b - width of river, ft (m),
qo - critical discharge, of river width (0.00532/S4/3)Dg
