Transport Potential Formulas

In order to close the system of equations describing the sediment transport, bed change, and bed sorting equations, the fractional depth-averaged total-load concentration potential (C_tk^*) must be estimated from an empirical formula. The depth-averaged concentration potential is defined as

1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle C_{tk}^{}=\frac{q_{tk}^{}}{Uh}\end{array}$

where q_tk^* is the total-load transport potential for the k^th sediment size class.
