Rating curve hysteresis loop in Zenne river (Lot), 15-16 July 2012 event: blue triangles – rising stage, green squares – falling stage
Flume tests carefully conducted by Nomicos (1957) at CalTech: constant-depth, unique sediment size d=0.152mm difficult to reconcile with the standard formulation for the ‘alluvial resistance coefficient’:
