The present work is a comparative evaluation of some of the well known sediment transport equations for the condition of dunes on the bed. It is fairly clear that no single equation provides reliable estimates of the total load of sediment transported for all types of bed forms. The most frequently occurring bed form being dunes, only this case is considered in this paper. The measurements of sediment transport were realized in the laboratory for various sediment sizes, utilizing a computerized tilting recirculation flume. The Yang equation (1973) was found to provide the best results for dunes.
