Abstract
Despite the importance of sediment transport processes in large rivers, the measurement of sed-iment transport rate in the in-situ, especially bedload, is difficult, costly and time consuming using conven-tional methods. In this paper, a novel indirect bedload estimation methodology is presented that is based on the Acoustic Mapping Velocimetry (AMV). AMV is a combination of acoustic and imaging techniques that provides 2D bedform velocity maps. As such, it can only be used if bedload is represented by bedform migra-tion. This paper illustrates the applicability of the bedload estimation method using as test case a section of the Ohio River in the United States. Repeated measurements of the bathymetry provided by multi-beam echo sounder serve as input data for AMV. Cross-sectional distributions of bedload transport rates obtained with AMV are compared with the estimates provided by another non-intrusive technique, ISSDOTv2, developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The good agreement between the results with the two different methods is encouraging and suggests further field tests covering a wider range of hydro-morphological situations.
