Abstract
The mathematical characteristics and physical explanation of Rouses equation for the suspended sediment concentration distribution have been discussed. Based on this, the sediments for suspended index Z< 1 and z≥1 are defined as fine and coarse grains respectively. Then, the analytical solution of Einstein total load equation for coarse grains is derived. Compared with numerical results, it shows that the derivation is correct.
