Hyperconcentrated Flow

By Zhaohui Wan, Zhaoyin Wang Copyright 1994

    Considers hyperconcentrated flow, a phenomenon peculiar to the Yellow River Basin. The feasibility of using the potential for sediment carrying by hyperconcentrated flow can also be applied to topics such as hypertransport, debris flow and sediment releases from reservoirs.
