The paper presents a numerical movable-bed channel capable of simulating three-dimensional motions of flows and gravel particles in different shapes. At first, the numerical channel was tested against results of fixed-bed channel experiments in which gravel particles were transported. Simulated particle motions were validated in comparison with those in the laboratory experiment. Next, numerical movable-bed experiments with sphere particles and gravel particles were conducted. The results of these experiments clearly elucidated the difference in motion between the large and the small particles, effects of shapes of gravel particles on sediment-transport rates, and hydrodynamic forces and contact forces at incipient motion and at settling.
