This study investigates the applicability of five bed-load-transport formulas (the Meyer-Peter and Muller, Schoklitsch, Bagnold, Smart and Jaeggi, and Rickenmann equations) to predict bed-load transport rates of frequent, low-magnitude flood events (maximal bankfull discharge) for a mountainous, poorly sorted gravel-bed river characterized by a bimodal sediment-size distribution and spatially distributed patches. For model parametrization, special emphasis was placed on the spatial composition of the grain-size distribution (GSD) to evaluate the impact of preferential removal of sediments from patches with finer sediments on bed-load transport. Three parametrization approaches to the choice of an appropriate sediment size that considered the apparent bimodality of the GSD to varying degrees were tested. The modeling study demonstrated that the incorporation of spatial structure of GSD and its bimodal character has an important impact on model performance—a unimodal parametrization failed to reproduce meas...
