This paper presents new measurements on the settling velocity of mud flocs in the Lower
Sea Scheldt, Belgium, and compares the results with data obtained previously in the Tamar …

This paper presents a three-dimensional model in an Eulerian reference frame for the
evolution of the settling velocity of cohesive sediments in estuarine and coastal …

Turbulent shear generated in estuarine water columns is recognised as having an influence
on both the formation of cohesive sediment flocs, and aggregate break-up. By drawing on …

Turbulent shear generated within the water column is recognised as having a controlling
influence over both the flocculation of fine grained cohesive sediments within estuarine …

The transport of fine-grained particles in estuarine and coastal waters is influenced by
flocculation processes (aggregation and floc breakup). As a consequence, the particle size …

The inability to adequately measure floc properties, due to their fragility, has posed a distinct
problem in the understanding of the flocculation process. Therefore, within the framework of …

The work presented aimed at investigating the influence of the physical processes effecting
mud flocculation in a grid stirred experiment. Two natural muds from the Gironde estuary …

Flocculation is one of the main process of sedimentation which modifies suspended
particulate matter (SPM) characteristics, ie size and settling velocity. A combination of …

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 …

It has long been recognized that the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is one of the
major determinants for the flocculation of cohesive particles into sediment flocs in estuaries …
