Short summary
Bedload transport occurs when a sufficiently strong flow of fluid shears a bed of loose sedimentary grains of millimeter or larger size. Here, we show that a recently proposed artificial numerical method to alter fluid-particle interactions in grain-resolved numerical bedload simulations is physically unrealistic. We conclude, supported by independent modeling, that data created using this method, unlike previously claimed, does not resolve the issue of grain shape effects on bedload transport.
