Hyperconcentrations of Suspended Sediment

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1964
Extremely high suspended sediment concentrations in streamflow, those exceeding 40% by weight, are shown to consist largely of sands with an apparent minimum fine material concentration of approximately 15% by weight. X-ray diffraction analyses of the clay fractions show mostly montmorillonite and illite with some kaolinite.

Suspended sediment storm modeling

Marine Geology, 1991
Abstract A variety of sediment-transporting storms was observed in the HEBBLE long deployment indicating several distinct forcing mechanisms; in particular, some storms appear to originate locally (Gross and Williams, this issue). In this paper, a simple model of a locally forced storm is presented to elucidate the time-dependent dynamics of erosion ...

Suspended Sediment Concentration Profiles

Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1995
An evaluation is given of the methods of modeling concentration profiles of suspended non-cohesive sediments in natural streams and under waves. The bottom boundary condition and the distribution models are treated separately. The merits of the simple concentration boundary condition, which has been favored by practice, are compared to those of the ...

Collapsible-Bag Suspended-Sediment Sampler

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1980
This paper describes a collapsible-bag sampler that is based on somewhat different operating principles than conventional U.S.-series samplers, but which has similar sampling characteristics and is used in the same manner as these samplers. An important advantage of the bag sampler is that it greatly facilitates sampling in deep streams and estuaries.

Estimation of suspended-sediment rating curves and mean suspended-sediment loads

Journal of Hydrology, 1991
Suspended-sediment loads are often estimated from an empirical relation between suspended-sediment load (L) and streamflow (S). This relation is usually defined as a power function, L = aSb, and is referred to as a suspended-sediment rating curve. This function can be formulated as either a linear or non-linear model to find the solution of the rating ...
