Abstract

An experimental device and method for measuring a motion probability of nonuniform sediment are provided. The method includes: dyeing sediment of different particle sizes to obtain nonuniform dyed sediment, sticking sediment with the same grades to the bottom of a flume to form a rough plate; soaking the nonuniform dyed sediment, laying the nonuniform dyed sediment on the sediment feeder, transporting the sediment by water with given intensity, and once the flow is stable, starting the sediment feeder to perform a test until the sediment stops moving. Collecting, drying and sieving the sediment in the bedload collector and the suspended load collector, and weighing the dyed sediment of different particle sizes. Computing the incipient probability and the suspension probability respectively by measuring the weight ratios of the sediment of different grades from the two collectors to the initial ones.
