The Behaviour of Suspended Sediments and Muds in an Estuary

The fundamental behaviour of suspended sediments and muds was investigated using an annular flume with the condition of cyclically changed shear stress. The results from two series of experiments showed that particle sizes which participate in the variation of suspended sediments were restricted to...

description The fundamental behaviour of suspended sediments and muds was investigated using an annular flume with the condition of cyclically changed shear stress. The results from two series of experiments showed that particle sizes which participate in the variation of suspended sediments were restricted to smaller sizes of the material. It was also found that the cyclically steady state was finally attained with respect to the suspended sediments as the tidal cycle repeated. In that state the suspended sediments were subject to three phenomena: erosion; deposition with dispersed state; and deposition with flocculation. A simple model on the suspended sediments in an estuary was developed and its behaviour in a model estuary was simulated by using the fluxes of erosion and deposition in the experiment. That model well described the variation of the suspended sediments and muds.
