The rotation of ship propellers produces water flows that can trigger erosion and
resuspension of sediment on the seabed, which damages coral reef habitats. The causal …

The erosion threshold of sand-mud mixtures is investigated by analyzing the momentum
balance of a sand particle or a mud parcel in the mixture bed surface, and a formula for the …

The critical shear stress for erosion of sand and mud mixtures is theoretically investigated
and expressed as a function of the critical shear stresses of pure sand and mud, mud …

This study describes the building of a common erosion law for fine sand and mud, mixed or
not, in the case of a typical continental shelf environment, the Bay of Biscay shelf …

Laboratory flume experiments were conducted to quantify the effects of the soil
characteristics on the critical shear stress of low fines content soil samples collected from the …

Erosion of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments is studied using the erosion test
instrument SEDFlume. The sediment mixtures are composed of well-sorted quartz sand …

The field of cohesive and noncohesive mixture erosion is not fully understood because of
the numerous factors that influence soil erodibility. In this study, erosion experiments were …

In this study, we present a novel approach to measure fundamental processes of cohesive
sediment erosion. The experimental setup consists of a laboratory erosion flume (SETEG) …

Seabed particles with low shear stress limits are prone to erosion and sedimentation,
affecting the balance of aquatic ecosystems. The water flow velocity triggered by the rotation …

Noncohesive sediments move as individual particles, whereas cohesive sediments (<~ 0.01
mm in size) usually transport in flocs that consist of fine particles irregularly bonded by …
