Abstract: The newly developed concept for the sediment transporting energy is used to propose a new bed-load formula as a function of a dimensionless critical shear stress parameter, Fattah (2005) bed-load predictor. Accordingly in this study, SEDTREN mobile-bed model is presented in which the new developments are considered. The model is calibrated using field data of the Rhone River reach, in France, utilizing the results computed by CARICHAR model presented by Rahuel et al (1989). Parametric evaluation of the SEDTREN model is carried to calibrate the model. The proposed model is applied to an idealized case for Atbara River reach, in Sudan.
