Abstract
Two applications are presented of a recently proposed empirical sediment pick-up function. The first application deals with bed load transport which is computed as the product of the pick-up rate and the saltation length. Comparison with measured bed-load transport rates shows encouraging results. The second application deals with suspended load transport. The classical problem of sediment concentration profiles developing in a steady uniform flow which is initially free of sediment, is studied.
