Abstract: A theoretical description of the initiation of movement of sediments consisting of uniform-size, quartz particles is developed. These sediments behave in a noncohesive manner for coarse-grained particles but show cohesive ...

Abstract: In order to understand the transport and fate of hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) in consolidated sediments and saturated soils, long-term (up to 512 d), one-dimensional, time-dependent diffusion experiments were done ...

Abstract: A unique flume that measures the erosion of sediments at high shear stresses and with sediment depth has been designed, constructed, and used. Experiments in this flume, Sedflume, can be done either with reconstructed ...

Abstract: Experiments have been done in order to determine the effects of particle size and bulk density on the erosion of quartz particles. Average particle sizes ranged from 5 to 1,350 μm, while bulk densities ranged from approximately ...
