Abstract

The depositional characteristics of floes of fine cohesive sediments in a turbulent flow field differ distinctly from those of a cohesionless material such as sand. This difference exists because the floe size and shear strength distributions depend on the sediment type as well as the flow condition itself; consequently, the problem of the depositional behavior of these floes is rather complex, and not easily amenable to analytic treatment. The present basic experimental study was carried out in a specially designed annular channel. The derived laws of deposition in relation to the time-rates as well as the steady-state concentrations are described and discussed. The reanalyzed results of other limited investigations agree well with the result of the study.
