Grain size distribution effects on phosphate sorption by fluvial sediment: implications for modelling sediment- phosphate transport
A sensitivity analysis was performed on a sediment-phosphate transport model by determining the phosphate sorption characteristics of separated size fractions and prepared size distributions of fine-grained ( < 64 jum) river sediment typically transported in two southern Ontario streams. The Langmuir equation was used to quantify phosphate release from the sediment. Results of the study indicat...
متن کاملA universal approximation of grain size from images of noncohesive sediment
[1] The two‐dimensional spectral decomposition of an image of sediment provides a direct statistical estimate, grid‐by‐number style, of the mean of all intermediate axes of all single particles within the image. We develop and test this new method which, unlike existing techniques, requires neither image processing algorithms for detection and measurement of individual grains, nor calibration. ...
متن کاملComparison of sediment grain size analysis among two methods and three instruments using environmental samples
Sediment grain size is measured using a variety of methods, but comparisons of measurement methods on environmental samples are limited. Three instruments (Coulter LS230, Horiba LA900, and SediGraph 5100) utilizing two fundamentally different operating principles were employed to measure a single set of 20 different sediment samples collected at shelf depths from the Southern California Bight. ...
متن کاملUnderstanding and predicting the temporal variability of sediment grain size characteristics on high-energy beaches
Despite representing a key parameter when modelling morphology or sediment transport, surface sediments are often assumed homogenous, with grain size temporally constant. This contribution uses a 6-year data set of monthly sediment samples to quantify the observed variability in intertidal beach sands at four energetic, macrotidal locations (North Cornwall, UK). Changes in grain size and sortin...
متن کاملInfluence of Grain Size on Sediment Transport Rates with Emphasis on the Total Longshore Rate
This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes the state of understanding of the influence of grain size on surf zone sediment transport and is a companion to Smith et al. (2004). This CHETN discusses details of bed-load and suspended load transport, and the classical bed-load regime is shown to encompass two distinct modes of transport. Four LST models with varying le...
