Abstract
Scale selection when modeling sediment transport using artificial material is discussed. Model studies in the Theodor Rehbock Laboratory some years ago required modeling of a mountain river carrying heavy sediment loads. To accomplish this in a comparatively small-scale model a plastic material was used. To make possible an interpretation and extrapolation of test results, comprehensive studies of the hydraulic and sedimentologic properties of the material were undertaken. Based on the results of these studies and on theoretical considerations, possibilities and limitations of scale selection were derived.
