Abstract
The shape and dimensions (length, height) of sand dunes in rivers are calculated by use of the measured bed shear stress distribution downstream a rearward-facing step. The transport of sediment is split up into bed load and suspended load, which makes it possible to explain the transition to plane bed. The model can predict flow-resistance curves in alluvial streams.Keywords
