Laboratory experiments on the entrainment by a Concentrated Benthic Suspension

The deposition of cohesive sediments in estuarin and eoestal environments can lead to a range of managerial problems. To deal with these problems it is essential to understand the behaviour of cohesive sediment and its interaction with the flow field. During slack water, cohesive sediment is deposited and a Concentrated Benthic Suspension (CBS)...

Transport of cohesive sediments: Classification and requirements for turbulence modelling

This report describes a classification of sediment-laden flows, which gives an overview of the different transport forms of fine sediment and the interactions of the different processes as acting in an estuary. At the outs et of the proposed classification a distinction in physical states of water-sediment mixtures is made. A water-sediment...
