Despite the advent of ever more sophisticated technologies, the study of sediment transport remains highly relevant. Ongoing climate change adds urgency to the need to understand phenomena governing sediment transport. During sediment movement, the architecture of the sediment bed evolves (Nummedal et al., 1993; Allen and Posamentier, 1994; Van Wagoner, 1995). This chapter focuses on the fundamental processes involved in sediment transport and aims to define and characterize the evolution of the water-sediment mixture in a migrating sand ripple field under a stationary flow regime, from the flow surface to the base of the sediment bed. In an experimental sediment flume with attached computed tomography (CT)-scanner, the sediment density of a ripple field was studied at different phases of its architectural evolution using threeand four-dimensional X-ray scanning, under several flow regimes and with different grain sizes. This approach yielded a detailed understanding of the parameters involved in transport of sand-grade sediment.
