Dimensionless argument: a narrow grain size range near 2 mm plays a special role in river sediment transport and morphodynamics
<p>The grain size 2 mm is the conventional border between sand and gravel. This size is used extensively, and generally without much physical justification, to discriminate between such features as sedimentary deposit type (clast-supported versus matrix-supported), river type (gravel bed vers...
