Stochastic Flocculation Model for Cohesive Sediment Suspended in Water
Existing flocculation models for cohesive sediments are classified into two groups: population balance equation models (PBE) and floc growth models. An FGM ensures mass conservation in a closed system. However, an FGM determines only the average size of flocs, whereas a PBE has the capability to calculate a size distribution of flocs. A new stochastic approach to model the flocculation process ...

The Author: ROBERT B. THOMAS is a mathematical statistician assigned to the Station's research unit studying the management of Pacific Coastal forests on unstable lands, and is stationed in Arcata, California. He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at California State University, Hayward (1967) and a master's degree in statistics at the University of California, Berkeley (1971). He joined...
متن کاملAcoustic inversions for measuring boundary layer suspended sediment processes.
Although sound has been applied to the study of sediment transport processes for a number of years, it is acknowledged that there are still problems in using the backscattered signal to measure suspended sediment parameters. In particular, when the attenuation due to the suspension becomes significant, the uncertainty associated with the variability in the scattering characteristics of the sedi...
متن کاملDensimetric Monitoring of Suspended-sediment Concentrations, Northeastern Georgia
Differential pressure transducers can be used to monitor the suspended-sediment concentration in a water column. Suspended sediments with densities greater than water increase the fluid density, which is determined by measuring the fluid pressure change between two depths. Lewis and Rasmussen (1999) used a densimetric technique under controlled conditions to determine suspended-sediment concent...
متن کاملSystematic Sampling for Suspended Sediment
Because of high costs or complex logistics, scientific populations cannot be measured entirely and must be sampled. Accepted scientific practice holds that sample selection be based on statistical principles to assure objectivity when estimating totals and variances. Probability sampling--obtaining samples with known probabilities--is the only method that assures these results. However, probabi...
