The quantity and quality of the load is defined in terms of competence and capacity. Competence is the large size clast that a stream can carry whereas capacity is the volume of sediment carried. Geophys Un., v. 39, p. 1079-1084. Label the axes. Explain how this graph illustrates the relationship between annual sediment yield and climatic regime.
Turbulent flow is chaotic with instantaneous changes in both particle direction and velocity.
Also described as the ratio of mean flow velocity and the velocity of shallow water gravity wave which can be propagated through the flow. 1 Shooting or supercritical flow antidunes Table 2. Definition of flow regime using froude number. Flow regime affects the type of bedform that develop and certain characteristics of sediment transport. One place where flow regime is in a constant state of flux is on a beach.
