Abstract
This work deals with the development of a morphological model, suitable for computing the morphological changes in mountain rivers during a flood event. In most of the morphological river bed models developed earlier, the granulometric compo-sition of the sediment transport assumed to be uniform or represented by a material of some characteristic diameter, i.e. D50, The granulometric composition of the river bed and, particularly in the mountain rivers, is characterised by a variety of dimension of particles, which vary from fine sand to boulders. It is obvious that the uniform material assumption is far from reality and more detailed approaches must be made.
