Grain size distribution of bedload
Hi
Is there a way to know the grain sizes distribution of the bedload? To know the average grain size of what is being transported through the reach. I could only find the grain size of the layers per cross section but for bedload I can only see volume.
thanks

Re: Grain size distribution of bedload
I guess it can be done by using the relative volumes which are given in the out.dat file for a specific Q.
So (bedload flux for Dx)/(bedload flux total) we get a % which we can then relate to the grain size.
I don't think there is an output type that can do that immediately?

Nope, there is not.
The "matlab" output is a short version of the .out file. There you have the % in the active layer and in the sublayer.
With a python script you could read, extract and calculate whatever you need from the out file 
Cheers,
