A 147 km longitudinal transect of flocculated cohesive sediment properties in San Francisco
Bay (SFB) was conducted on June 17th, 2008. Our aim was to determine the factors that …

A new flocculation model using variable fractal dimension is proposed and validated with
several experimental data and an existing model. The proposed model consists of two …

This study describes a new flocculation model, which was based entirely on observations of
settling floc spectra and turbulent shear stresses, acquired primarily from a series of in-situ …

The floc morphology was investigated in a continuous-flow reactor, in order to understand
the evolution of flocs in practical flocculation and sedimentation processes in water utilities …

Results are presented from a series of settling column experiments investigating temporal
variations in the flocculation characteristics of purely cohesive (kaolin clay) sediment …

The complex nature of particulate matter in natural water resources and in waste waters is
characterized by the heterogeneous distribution of particle size, shape, density, and shear …

Flocculation (aggregation) of particles is a vital stage in many solid‐liquid separation
operations. The process usually involves some form of chemical destabilization and a step …

The majority of the particulate matter which accumulates within an estuary is commonly
referred to as mud. Mud is typically composed of mineral grains which originate from both …

Grain size is the most basic of classification criteria for sediments. The size distribution of a
given sediment records the physical transport processes involved in its formation. By using …

Modeling suspended particulate matter (SPM) dynamics is essential to calculate sediment
transport budgets and to provide relevant knowledge for the understanding of …
