The Hjulstorm curve is agraph used by hydrologiststo determine whether ariver will erode, transport,or deposit sediment. Thegraph will take
sedimentsize
and
channel velocity
into account.
The interpretation of thehjulstrom’s curve/graph
The
x-axis
shows the
size of the particles
in
millimeter (mm).
The
y-axis
shows the
velocity of theriver
in
cm/s
.
Hjulstrom’s graph shows
relationships
between
stream velocity
and
ability to transport materials of varying sizes
.
There are
two
curves lines drawn in aHjulstorm curve:
critical erosionvelocity
and
settling or fall velocity
