Sediment transport capacity of concentrated flows on steep loessial slope with erodible beds

Abstract Previous research on sediment transport capacity has been inadequate and incomplete in describing the detachment and transport process of concentrated flows on slope farmlands during rill development. An indoor concentrated flow scouring experiment was carried out on steep loessial soil slo...
