Prediction of turbulence-induced erosion and near-bed transport of sediment particles in turbulent flow is important for many processes in environmental engineering. Beyond its relation to sediment transport, the results of the present study are relevant as well for numerous industrial applications, particularly in the field of process technology, where solid particles are conveyed by a carrier flow. Traditional methods for the prediction of sediment transport are empirical and based on averaged bulk quantities.
