Flume experiments show that in open channel flow the sediment transfer coefficient increases with distance from the channel bed, reaching a maximum value at a distance from the bed equal to about 20% of the flow depth, and then tends to remain at a constant value up to the water surface. The experiments also yield evidence indicating that the sediment transfer coefficient is larger for larger particle sizes.
