| description abstract | The mechanism by which a suspended fine-sediment-induced pycnocline, or lutocline, is generated under wave action is examined. The steady-state form of the turbulent kinetic energy balance is used along with commonly invoked phenomenological arguments to obtain a formula for the height of the lutocline as a function of wave and suspended sediment properties. This formula is then used in conjunction with data on equilibrium heights of lutoclines of a suspended clay mixture in a wave flume to show that the formula holds promise as a first-order predictor of lutocline height. This height is also shown to correlate empirically with wave energy. | |
