Sediment is found throughout the world's alluvial plain rivers, estuarine coasts and adjacent
seas and is thereby a key factor in major ecosystems. Suspended mineral sediment can …

The purpose of this paper is to establish a relation between a few measurable quantities (the
so-called ζ potential, organic matter content, and shear rate) and the flocculation behavior of …

Natural sediment flocs are fragile, highly irregular, loosely bound aggregates comprising
minerogenic and organic material. They contribute a major component of suspended …

Cohesive particles in aquatic systems can play an important role in determining the fate of
spilled oil via the generation of Oil-Mineral Aggregates (OMAs). Series of laboratory …

Purpose An innovative way to define navigable fluid mud layers is to make use of their
rheological properties, in particular their yield stress. In order to help the development of in …

Biofilm-coated microplastics are omnipresent in aquatic environments, carrying different
organic matter (OM) that in turn influences the flocculation and settling of microplastic …

Suspended cohesive sediments commonly occur in flocculated form. The flocculation
process significantly increases particle size, settling velocity, and settling flux in comparison …

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 dynamics of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and SPM‐associated biological and
physicochemical processes in a river vary under dry and wet weather conditions and …

Estuarine and coastal regions are often characterized by a high variability of suspended
sediment concentrations in their waters, which influences dredging projects, contaminant …
