Hjulstrom Diagram. Note that larger grains require higher flows in general. Note that larger grains require higher flows in general.
Hjulströms diagram är ett diagram som inom hydrologin kan användas för att avgöra om sediment transporteras eroderas eller deponeras i strömmande vatten. Upphovsmannen filip hjulström 1902 1982 som var professor i geografi vid uppsala universitet presenterade diagrammet 1935 i sin avhandling studies of the. The hjulström curve named after filip hjulström 1902 1982 is a graph used by hydrologists and geologists to determine whether a river will erode transport or deposit sediment.
Diagrammet tar hänsyn till kornstorlek och vattnets flödeshastighet.
The lower line shows the fall or settling velocity in between the two there is the transportation of sediments. Types of erosion transportation and deposition types of load. The hjulstrom curve or graph is used by hydrologists to find out if a river is able to erode transport or deposit its load. The long profile changing processes.
