Abstract
The authors investigated the hydraulic roles and characteristics of wash load in an experimental flume. The main conclusions were as follows : 1) The behavior of wash load is almost the same as the behavior of suspended load. 2) Wash load affects Karman constant as it relates to the sediment distribution of the suspended load and the velocity profile of the flow. 3) The wash load affects the concentration, Ca, near the bed and, as this concentration is closely connected to the transport rate of the bed-material load, the transport rate is also affected. 4) The wash load is one of the important factors controlling the stability of the stream bed.
