What is the largest size particle that a stream can carry?

Capacity


What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?

The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.


What is the relationship between the particle size and wavelength?

IF and ONLY IF when the mass of particles are same. Large particle sizes will need high stream's velocity to carry it from one place to another,In another word If the stream velocity is slow than large particle sizes will be stationary.


If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity?

The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.


What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?

The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.


What effect does the speed of a flowing stream have on the size of the particle its able to carry?

For a given mass of stream water, its kinetic energy is proportional to the speed of flow squared. So, for example, if we double the speed of the stream its kinetic energy will increase by four fold. And kinetic energy can be found from the average force acting on some mass (e.g., those "particles") over a distance. So one can conclude that a faster moving stream can exert more force on the stones and debris in that stream. Which means the faster moving stream is more likely to be able to actually lift and carry larger heavier particles than the slower stream can. NOTE: This discounts particles that can float in a static stream, like wood chips, as they are carried without the stream flowing.

How does a stream carry materials?

Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.
