This thesis focuses on the flocculation process of cohesive sediment (mud) and in particular
on the time evolution of the floc size distribution. Mud is mainly observed in estuarine …

Cohesive sediment suspended in natural waters is subject not only to transport and
deposition processes but also to reactions of flocculation, ie aggregation of fine particles …

A stochastic Lagrangian model is proposed to describe flocculation of suspended cohesive
sediment flocs. This model takes into account the floc population in a parametric fashion …

Flocculation of suspended cohesive sediment, well-known to impact the floc size distribution
and vertical fluxes, and cause morphodynamic changes of marine and riverine …

The flocculation of cohesive sediments significantly influences the particle size,
concentration, and settling velocity and further influences sediment transport and pollutant …

Cohesive sediments play an important role in the field of river morphodynamics.
Environmental risks are related to the adsorption of contaminants, economic problems arise …

Purpose Cohesive sediment is able to flocculate and create flocs, which are larger than
individual particles and less dense. The phenomenon of flocculation has an important role in …

The transport and fate of cohesive sediments are responsible for many engineering,
environmental, economic and policy issues that relate to, for example, siltation and dredging …

When natural muds become mixed with sandy sediments in estuaries, it has a direct effect
on the flocculation process and resultant sediment transport regime. Much research has …

The transport and fate of fine grained cohesive sediments in estuarine and coastal waters is
influenced by the settling velocity of the sediment, which in turn is affected by flocculation …
