Abstract

This paper investigates the accurate numerical solution of the equations governing bed-load sediment transport. Two approaches: a steady and an unsteady approach are discussed and five different formulations within these frameworks are derived. A flux-limited version of Roe's scheme is used with the different formulations on a channel test problem and the results compared.
