In this fundamental experimental study, the bed is composed of three groups of sediment, and one of the grain size is completely different from each other. One is L-particle which cannot move at all in the stream, and constitutes a bed frame. And M-particle or S-particle exists in the space surrounded by L-particles, and moves as bed load or suspended load, respectively. Hiding effect of L-particle on M and S-particles was evaluated, and the vertical structure of bed was also made clear in the evolution process toward a static equilibrium state. In addition to these, it was found that the arrangement of L-particle cannot affect the state of equilibrium state.
