Vertical Velocity Distributions in Sand -Bed Alluvial Rivers

Shear partition models of Einstein and Nelson-Smith were evaluated with the field data collected in this research. Einstein's method had an absolute average percent error of 11.3%, while the Nelson-Smith method had an absolute average percent error of 22.2% when the smaller bedforms were used as the geometry in the Nelson-Smith method.
