A sediment transport capacity algorithm for estimating large scale pro
pagation and redistribution of sediments in channel networks is propos
ed. The algorithm computer transport capacity by size fraction using f
our established sediment transport equations with modified critical sh
ear stress to account for the equal mobility property of sediment mixt
ures. The algorithm was tested against a large number of measured data
and produced consistent results for a wide range of flow and sediment
characteristics. The broad applicability of the algorithm makes it su
itable for estimation of sediment transport capacity in large channel
networks with spatial variability in channel flow and sediment charact
eristics.
