Abstract: This paper compares the results of two sediment erodibility test methods that have been applied on surficial sediments at a number of locations on the Fox River in Wisconsin. The methods include a straight flume that is ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of flume test section length on sediment erodibility measurements. A modular flume was constructed and experiments were conducted with two test section lengths:

Abstract: To obtain in situ measurements of sediment erodibility in defined bottom shear stress environments, a portable, straight flume was built, tested, and deployed in the field for six experiments at three locations in Quincy ...

Abstract: During the summer of 2005, a tidal creek (“Pine Gully”) within a few kilometers of the Houston Ship Channel was completely blocked by a

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics calculations of flow in a straight flume for sediment erodibility testing were conducted. The calculations allowed improved postprocessing of the erosion data collected and better understanding ...

Abstract: Calculated annual excess skin friction stress at various locations in Quincy Bay (outer Boston Harbor) was found to be correlated positively with sediment sand content. The correlation was optimized when a critical shear stress (τ

Abstract: A predictive, coastal erosion/shoreline change model has been developed for a small coastal segment near Drew Point, Beaufort Sea, Alaska. This coastal setting has experienced a dramatic increase in erosion since the early ...
