Short summary
We try to understand how the sediment supply from the upstream river reach affects the downstream river morphology using a numerical model. If the supplied sediment is composed of a variety of size classes of particles, a small bed wave that is composed of mainly fine particles (sorting wave) can propagate to downstream for a very long distance. However, the presence of bars suppresses the effect of the sorting wave greatly, and thus the sediment supply has a limited role in the downstream river morphology.
