thanks to professor Recking for his worthy advices along my doctoral dissertation. I wonder if HecRas would consider including his friction and sediment transport equations, which I have coded for fluvial morphodynamics, because they are numerically manageable while highly robust in a large range of scales/contexts for mountain rivers.

We haven't used his transport function in the past because it was not partitioned by grain class (which RAS requires). But Alain mentioned that he has a version that is partitioned by grain class headed to the journals. We will definitely consider it when we add sediment to 2025.
