The definition of the threshold of sediment motion is critical for continental shelf sediment
dynamics. The work by A. Shields laid the foundation for this research direction, leading to …

Particle size distributions (PSDs) of suspended particulate matters in a coastal zone are
lognormal and multimodal in general. The multimodal PSD, which is caused by the mixing of …

Abstract Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) concentration profiles of the lowest 2 m of the
water column and particle size distribution at 2 m above the bed were measured in a coastal …

Estuarine zones are regarded as the ecotones connecting the rivers and lakes. Sediment
dredging is a conventional treatment technology that is widely used to remove the internal …

Key Points Turbulent flow structures over a gobi surface and their impact on sand transport
rate were examined Sweeps made the largest contribution to sand transport rate over gobi …

Bimodal flocculation of marine and estuarine sediments describes the aggregation and
breakage process in which dense microflocs and floppy macroflocs change their relative …

Laboratory experiments were conducted in an open channel flume with a flat sandy bed to
examine the role of turbulence on sediment resuspension. An acoustic Doppler velocimeter …

The river bed level in low-land rivers like the Rhine branches in The Netherlands changes
continuously on various spatial and temporal scales. Large-scale degradation occurs in …

An understanding of the dynamics and behaviors of suspended sediments is vital in analysis
of morphological, environmental, and ecological processes occurring in coastal marine …

Turbulent bursting plays a crucial role in sediment resuspension and transportation in many
shallow lakes. This study analyzed the relationships between coherent structures and …
