How bar generate sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels
Résumé
We ran flume experiments with constant water dis- charge and sediment feed rate at the inlet. Experi- ments were conducted over long times (typically 600 h). The bars migrated downstream intermittently, producing the most important pulses. When the bar position was stable for a few hours, additional pulses resulted from sediment transfer from pool to pool, in the form of sediment waves (bedload sheets).

La sédimentation marine comprend tous les processus conduisant à la formation de sédiments marins (sédimentation littorale ou côtière, océanique, bathyale, abyssale, etc.).
Sediment transport
Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Sediment transport occurs in natural systems where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay; the fluid is air, water, or ice; and the force of gravity acts to move the particles along the sloping surface on which they are resting.
Gravier (granulat)
vignette|Grave Le gravier est un granulat composé d'un mélange de sable et de gravillons. Il est utilisé principalement dans l'exécution des corps de chaussées (routes et autoroutes), de plateformes (parcs de stationnement, aires de stockage...), de pistes d'aérodromes. Dans toutes ces réalisations, quelques décimètres d'épaisseur de gravier sont utilisées sous la couche de finition (enrobé bitumineux de couverture, dallage béton, enduit superficiel d'usure...).
