Here we introduce a distribution of floc fractal dimensions as opposed to a single fractal
dimension value into the floc settling velocity model developed in earlier studies. The …

We present a simple method to obtain settling velocity estimates of fine-grained suspended
sediment using the following:(1) in situ floc volume fraction measurements,(2) calculations of …

Abstract In the Bach Dang–Cam Estuary, northern Vietnam, mechanisms governing
cohesive sediment aggregation were investigated in situ in 2008–2009. As part of the Red …

Flocculated fine-grained sediment is a complex matrix of microbial communities and organic
(detritus, cellular debris and extracellular polymers) and inorganic material. Suspended flocs …

Entropy analysis has been used to classify in situ particle (floc) size spectra of suspended
particles into groups based on similar distribution characteristics. Results revealed that the …

Field measurements have been carried out to obtain more quantitative knowledge on the
longitudinal distribution of the fine-grained sediment dynamics in the Ems Estuary. Both the …

In June and September of 1999, a LISST-100 in situ laser diffraction particle sizer was used
to analyse the temporal and spatial variation of the beam attenuation coefficient, the in situ …

Measurements are presented of median floc diameters and associated environmental data
over spring-tide tidal cycles at two stations in the muddy Tamar Estuary, UK, for winter …

The size and density of fine-sediment aggregates, or flocs, govern their transport and
depositional properties. While the mass and volume concentrations of flocs can be …

European estuaries tend to be regarded as being either predominantly muddy or sandy. In
some estuaries, the cohesive and non-cohesive fractions can become segregated …
