Abstract

<p> In this study, we investigated the hiding effect of larger gravels on smaller sand which occurs on the riverbed containing boulders. Riverbed materials can be classified into three grain-sizes groups of sediment: boulders which cannot move at all, gravels which move on riverbed as bedload, and fine sand which move as suspended load. These sediment groups are called L-, M- and S-particle. L-particles exert hiding effect on M- and S- particles. As well, larger M-particles exert hiding effect on smaller particles. We conducted the experiments under the condition that sediment which transport on riverbed is composed of two grain sizes particles. From the results of the experiments, a formula expressing the hiding effect of larger gravels was derived. The other experiments were conducted under the condition that movable sediment is composed of three grain sizes particles. Then we investigated the applicability of the hiding effect formula of larger gravels.</p>
