Abstract: Numerical simulation of the sediment transport in sheetflow regime is performed on the basis of the DEM (Distinct Element Method) with focusing upon the par- ticle/particle interaction. The characteristics of the velocity profile of sediment particles, which were reported in the previous experiments, are reproduced well by the present simulation. Furthermore, the mechanism of the velocity profile of the sediment particles is clarified from the viewpoint of the granular material dy- namics.
