Abstract: Flumes for the study of mobile-boundary hydraulics are of two basic kinds: the sediment-recirculating and sediment-feed flumes. It is shown here that these two types approach mobile-bed equilibrium along very different paths. In the former case this path is characterized by recirculating lumps of sediment that gradually decay.
